Because strategically allocating assets and managing investments are key to an insurer’s business, valuing assets and liabilities is an important area of focus.
In this episode of “The Standard Formula,” host Rob Chaplin, head of Skadden’s Financial Institutions Group in Europe, is joined by associate Olivier Peeters for a conversation about Solvency II’s requirements for asset and liability valuation. Rob and Oliver cover the general principles and specific rules for some balance sheet items and explore recent trends regarding investments into illiquid, or alternative, assets.

Words of wisdom: “Where quoted market prices are not readily available, insurers should be prepared to justify their valuation approach to the regulator. For insurers that routinely invest in illiquid assets, it may also be necessary to establish and document evaluation framework and relevant valuation procedures. This is particularly the case in a matching adjustment context.”
