Pillar 1

The Solvency II standard formula calculation is complex, requiring a large volume of input data and numerous individual calculations, some of which are iterative in nature. The iterations mean that the model answer is not always immediately apparent. The complexity is due to:

• The amount of input data required
• Restating the balance sheet on a market consistent basis
• Alignment of the captive business lines to the Solvency II segmentations for input data - for example converting claims or premium data to categories to meet the required definitions
• The iterative calculations for the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)
