Key takeaways

4

  • Falling interest rates between Q2 and Q3 o 45bps in Norway and 23bps in Sweden
  • Reduced stress on equities o From 42% per Q2 to 36% per Q3
  • On track to improve underlying Solvency II ratio with 10% points during 2015

1The estimated Economic solvency position of Storebrand Life Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model with the company's interpretation of the suggested transition rules from the NFSA. Output is sensitive to changes in financial markets, development of reserves, changes in assumptions and improvements of the calculation framework in the economic capital model as well as changes in the Solvency II legislation and national interpretation of transition rules.

2Indicative sensitivities after the implementation of Solvency II in 2016. Market movements in 2015 and until the introduction of Solvency II in 2016 will have a smaller effect than stated in the sensitivities because of the mitigating effects of the transition rules.

Comments

  • Excess value in bonds at amortised cost increased
  • Negative profit sharing result in SPP due to low interest rates and weak equity and credit markets

1Life insurance reserves 17

Longevity - 2/3 of reserve strengthening completed

2Buffers that are available to cover the longevity reserve strengthening. Some buffers may not be available if they

belong to contracts without reserve strengthening need or are used to cover interest rate guarantee.

3 Including charge to convert from paid-up policies to paid-up policies with investment choice.

Estimated IFRS result impact from longevity reserve strengthening revised down MNOK 500

Longevity strengthening need - sources of funding

2015 4Q - 2020 4.1 1.1 0.4 2.6 Portfolio return above interest guarantee Risk Equalisation Fund Direct equity contribution 200 200 200 200 2016e 2017e 2018e 2019e 2020e 406 2015 562 Total remaining reserve strengthening (BNOK) Estimated annual IFRS result impact (MNOK) Q4e 160 YTD 402 Estimated direct IFRS result impact reduced from 90MNOK to 65MNOK pr. quarter

Paid up policies is the main challenge in a low interest scenario and under SII…

…But still manageable both short and long term

Expected return paid up polices without use of buffers 2015-20201

…including reinvestment due and expected issuance of new paid up polices

  • 2015-2020: Longevity reserve strengthening and interest rate guarantee to be covered by expected return, buffers and planned company contribution2
  • 2020-2025: Prolonged low interest rate environment will have limited impact on results2

1Expected return paid up polices, including reinvestment and issuance of new paid up polices, without the use of buffers. Illustration is based on normal risk premiums and interest rate level as of September 30, 2015.

2Based on current interest rates and point estimate based on normal risk premiums. Market shocks could lead to higher use of buffers and reduced results
