May 22, 2012 25 Cash Flows • Current best estimate of future cash flows – – – – All cash flows, other than bifurcated derivatives Always unlocked May need to be stochastic but not always For contracts with participating aspects, use best estimate of payments • Bifurcated derivatives are those that are not clearly and closely related to the basic contract – e.g. GMAB, some types of GMWB • Expenses – Acquisition Expenses an issue – Overhead excluded 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies? May 22, 2012 26 13 Discounting Top down vs. Bottom Up Need to avoid volatility Use of OCI May need to be stochastic more often than currently • For Par contracts, crediting rate/ dividends need to be consistent with discount rate • IAA is working on a monograph on this subject • • • • 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies? May 22, 2012 27 Margins • IASB wants two margins – – – – – Risk Margin and Residual Margin Consistent with Solvency II Residual Margin designed to avoid gains at issue Residual Margin runs out over coverage period Risk margin applies to claim reserves • FASB wants one margin – – – – Avoid gain at issue Doesn’t believe risk margin can be determined in a useful way Margin runs out over coverage period No margin on claim reserves for contracts using the PAA per IASB – margin remains for claim reserves • IAA is working on a monograph on this subject 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies? May 22, 2012 28 14 Premium Allocation Approach • Similar to Unearned Premium Reserve • Mainly applies to policies with one year duration or less – Mostly P&C but group insurance also possible • Some companies want to apply to longerduration policies 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies? May 22, 2012 29 Presentation Issues • Originally boards wanted to show only margin run off – Analysts argued for inclusion of Premiums, Benefits and Expenses – Recently IASB concluded that premium should exclude the part that goes into a deposit • E.g. UL, term-certain life annuity, and cash values • FASB has not taken a position • May need to disaggregate services (e.g. stop loss plus claim payment contracts) 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies? May 22, 2012 30 15 Use of Other Comprehensive Income • Goal is to avoid earnings volatility • Change in reserves due to change in discount rate shown in OCI • For par contracts, similar approach but changes to discretionary payments maybe in cash flows – Assets and Liabilities need to be measured consistently – Cash flows and discount rate need to be consistent 2012 Life and Annuity Symposium Session 74-What is New With the ACLI/NAIC/FASB and Other Regulatory Bodies?
