Solvency movement from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021 Storebrand Group

Estimated solvency sensitivities

Storebrand Group

  • Assumption changes and the acquisition of Capital Investment reduce the solvency ratio.
  • VA, symmetric equity stress, and higher interest rates improve the solvency ratio.
  • Less interest rate sensitivity with higher interest rates.

1The estimated Economic solvency position of Storebrand Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model with the company's interpretation of the 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.
