NAIC Life Risk-Based Capital Working Group Meeting Report: January 7

Jan 12, 2009

On Tuesday, January 7, 2009, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) Life Risk-Based Capital Working Group (“Working Group”) held a meeting to discuss a risk-based capital form completion guidance memorandum. 

At the NAIC’s Winter 2008 National Meeting, regulators expressed concern regarding the treatment of collateral for derivative instruments in the life risk-based capital formula.  To address this issue, the Working Group was tasked with providing guidance for insurers on the completion of Form LR012:  Miscellaneous Assets, which is to be submitted to the NAIC by insurance companies as part of their Year-End 2008 Life Risk-Based Capital Report.

After discussion on the best method to make risk-based capital charge calculations more balanced on the form, the Working Group released the following documents for comment:

Comments should be sent to Dan Swanson at dswanson@naic.org no later than 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 2009.
