Task Force on Segregated Fund Liability and Capital Methodologies
![Page 5: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• To explore alternative methodologies for determining actuarial liabilities and capital considering the total balance sheet requirements
• To address the issue of the recognition of hedging in the determination of actuarial liabilities and regulatory capital for segregated fund guarantees
• To identify at a high level all material risks that should be considered in the determination of the liabilities and capital
• To identify areas where further guidance is required
Mandate of Task Force
![Page 6: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Intention is to prepare a well-articulated recommended methodology
– If no consensus or no methodology is clearly superior then documentation of various methodologies with advantages and disadvantages would be prepared
Mandate of Task Force
![Page 7: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Intend to examine particular risks related to a hedging program such as basis risk, the uncertainty in future implied volatility and the liquidity risk in financial markets.
– Currently insufficient guidance as to how to reflect this in the valuation
Mandate of Task Force

• Target date of final report is the end of December 2009
• Areas that require additional review and quantification would be dealt with thereafter

November 2007 Educational Note
![Page 11: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• 2002 Segregated Fund paper only dealt with the downside movement
– Draft by the 2007 Task Force on Segregated Funds in their unpublished paper was focused on expanding on this issue
Update
![Page 12: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Whether current approach captures all the risks and produces sufficient required capital
• Last year’s crisis highlights that there continues to be unresolved issues in establishing required capital
OSFI’s Concerns
![Page 13: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• OSFI is concerned with the significant differences amongst companies; different models are used to model the same risk
• OSFI is investigating alternative methodologies
• OSFI will consider the work of the Task Force
OSFI’s Concerns

The Member Services Council established a subcommittee to investigate what analysis should be conducted for segregated funds policyholder behaviour
• Subcommittee of the Research Committee
• Will start with an empirical analysis of policyholder lapsation
Segregated Fund Policyholder Behaviour
![Page 15: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Gather together data on lapses across relevant policyholder, distribution and product features characteristics
– Will deliver a report and Excel tables for practitioners to perform additional analysis
Research Objective
![Page 16: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Currently working on the second iteration of the data request template
• Preparing a notice of intent to obtain data for a segregated fund lapse experience study (incl. data guidelines, instructions and confidentiality agreement)
Current Status
![Page 17: Segregated Fund Liability & Capital Methodologies Task Force](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56812bcb550346895d9023c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Data processing, analysis of results and construction of lapse tables based on experience
– Data collection targeted for 2010
– Report and distribution to members
Next Steps
