  • Manage for future capital release

Continued growth in Savings and Insurance

  • Leading position in occupational pensions

Group Capital Management Policy

Capital Generation will Increase over Time and is Sufficient to Pay Dividends

Annual estimated solvency generation (%)1

Storebrand will generate sufficient capital:

  • (1) To stay in the targeted solvency range of 150-180%
  • (2) To cover dividend payment with current interest rate curve

And the run off of guaranteed liabilities will increase the level of capital generation to more than 10pp

  • Expected annual capital generation next 5 years will be between 5-10pp of improved solvency ratio, further management actions have the potential to further improve solvency
  • We expect that unwinding of transitional capital will mostly be offset by a decrease in guaranteed liabilities and an increased value of in-force of the non-guaranteed business. The need to build more tangible capital will be limited and achieved through retained earnings after dividend payments

Revised Financial Targets

Target Status 1Q 2016
Return on equity1 > 10% 7%
Dividend ratio1 > 35% n/a

Solvency II and economic capital modelling in Storebrand

Trond Finn Eriksen Head of Economic Capital Management

  • Solid Solvency II position with low volatility
  • Solvency II requirements on back book is close to peak
  • New business written gives positive VNB and contributes with Solvency capital
  • Robust and transparent Solvency II calculations

Long History of Economic Capital Modelling in Storebrand

Economic models continuously evaluated by external partners

Solvency II Ratio Storebrand Group March 31, 2016

1Contribution to Own Funds from products = NPV of future profit – Risk margin. 2 Shareholder surplus at market value.

46

Key Assumptions in Storebrand's Solvency II Standard Calculation

Contract boundaries

Short contract boundaries: No future premiums are accounted for except for some not material products

Ultimate forward rate & Volatility Adj.

  • Storebrand is using the Smith-Wilson extrapolation method to reach a UFR of 4.2%
  • Storebrand is using VA as given by EIOPA. As of Q1 2016 VA for NOK was 16bp and 4bp for SEK

Transitional rules

  • Storebrand is using transitional rules for the value of the liabilities. Transitional rules equals Solvency II liabilities less Solvency I liabilities. The effect is reduced over 16 years, more during the first years
  • Storebrand is using transitional measures on equities. Equities are stressed at 22% instead of 39%. The effects are expected to run out during 2017

Operational assumptions

  • Lapse on paid-up policies is set to 0% up until 2021, 1.5% lapses after this. 0% lapses also after 2021 would reduce calculated Solvency II ratio by 3 percentage points
  • Reduced margin in Norwegian DC business over time
  • Only costs associated with maintaining current reserves are accounted for. A cost increase/decrease of 10% would decrease/increase Solvency II ratio by 4.0 percentage points

Loss absorbing capacity of tax

  • Full allowance for loss absorbing capacity of tax
  • Methodology proves that the deferred tax asset that arise from adverse market conditions can be utilized within the projection horizon
  • Norwegian FSA has been clear on the allowance for loss absorbing capacity of deferred tax
  • 13% effect on SCR before diversification

Low Sensitivities in Solvency II Ratio Including Transitionals

1 Estimated solvency position and sensitivities of Storebrand Group as of 10 May 2016.

Front Book Well Adapted to Solvency II, while Back Book is Capital Intensive

High capital consumptive Guarantees: Paid-up policies, Individual Norway and capital consumptive guarantees Sweden. Medium capital consumptive Guarantees: Defined Benefit and medium guaranteed Sweden. Low capital consumptive guarantees: Capital-light guarantees Sweden.

Non-guaranteed Life: Unit Linked Norway and Sweden.

49

Back Book in Run Off, Front Book is Growing Fast

High capital consumptive Guarantees: Paid-up policies, Individual Norway and capital consumptive guarantees Sweden.

Medium capital consumptive Guarantees: Defined Benefit and medium guaranteed Sweden.

Low capital consumptive guarantees: Capital-light guarantees Sweden. Non-guaranteed Life: Unit Linked Norway and Sweden.

What Determines the Solvency II Ratio Going Forward

From Solvency II to Economic capital to Reflect More Realistic Business Assumptions

Economic Capital Values Reflect Value of Underlying Business

Strong Sales in 2015 - Value of New Business NOK 1bn

  • Solid Solvency II position with low volatility
  • Solvency II requirements on back book is close to peak
  • New business written gives positive VNB and contributes with Solvency capital
  • Robust and transparent Solvency II calculations

Liability Driven Investments

Tørres Trovik CIO

Sufficient expected return to grow both buffers and solvency capital

Buffer capital of 5.3% provides low risk for shareholders and reduces net SCR

  • Efficient risk management by segmentation
  • A strong bonds at amortised cost portfolio providing 65% of required return

Guaranteed Asset Allocation

Liability Driven AM with a Double Purpose

64

Norwegian Guaranteed Book:1 Different Return Targets under Solvency II and IFRS

Solvency II 1

  • The IRR of liabilities (2.1%) is above current swap rate (1.4% at 31.3.16) due to Smith Wilson extrapolation in SII curve when liabilities are marked to market
  • We exceed the target for market return with current allocation both in the short end long term
  • Building own funds

IFRS 2

65

  • The return target for book return is the annual guarantee (3.2% next year, falling)
  • Expected book return is market return + running yield from amortizing bonds portfolio
  • In addition we can draw on 5.3% buffer if necessary
  • Flexibility to smooth returns low IFRS risk
  • Building buffers reducing SCR

Norwegian Guaranteed Book – IFRS perspective: Estimate of Expected Returns and Buffer Development

Expected return and buffer level 2016-2025 (%)

Sufficient return to meet IFRS guarantee and build buffer capital

IFRS perspective

  • Book value of liabilities unwinds at guaranteed rate
  • Contribution from amortizing bonds is 65% of return estimate
  • Buffer capital shields shareholders and reduce SCR

1Buffer capital is sum of market value adjustment reserve (MVAR) and additional statutory reserves (ASR) 2 Expected book return = expected market return + amortizing of excess value in HTM bonds

What If Interest Rates Go Even Lower?

Interest rate reduction of 50 bps

  • The deficit is to a large degree absorbed by buffers
  • Effect on financial result is zero or very limited

Norwegian Guaranteed Book - Solvency perspective: Estimate of Expected Return and Liability Development

Expected mark to market return 2016-2025 (%)

Sufficient return generates Solvency II capital

Solvency II perspective

  • Market value of liabilities unwinds at market rate
  • All assets mark to market, surplus values in amortizing bonds in opening balance
  • Asset return > liability return generates solvency capital

Low capital consumption Guarantees: Capital-light guarantees Sweden. Medium capital consumption Guarantees: Defined Benefit and medium guaranteed Sweden. High capital consumption Guarantees: Paid-up policies, Individual Norway and capital consumptive guarantees Sweden.

Guaranteed Back Book: - Expected Capital Consumption Reduced

Estimated reduced capital consumption Why reduction in capital need?

Capital consumption includes sum of solvency capital requirement and sum of VIF for all guaranteed products

Reduced capital consumption will replace transitional capital, and over time improve dividend capacity

  • Guaranteed portfolio in run off
  • Average policyholder above 61 years
  • Retirement benefits > premium income and guaranteed return
  • Reduces risk margin and TVOG
  • Interest rate guarantee reduced
  • Old policies have higher guarantees
  • Capital light new sales

Capital Generation will Increase over Time and is Sufficient to Pay Dividends

Annual estimated solvency generation (%)1

Storebrand will generate sufficient capital:

  • (1) To stay in the targeted solvency range of 150-180%
  • (2) To cover dividend payment with current interest rate curve

And the run off of guaranteed liabilities will increase the level of capital generation to more than 10pp

  • Expected annual capital generation next 5 years will be between 5-10pp of improved solvency ratio, further management actions have the potential to further improve solvency
  • We expect that unwinding of transitional capital will mostly be offset by a decrease in guaranteed liabilities and an increased value of in-force of the non-guaranteed business. The need to build more tangible capital will be limited and achieved through retained earnings after dividend payments
