2027 or later 

In light of the Financial Condition (E) Committee’s directive, the Life Risk-Based Capital (E) Working Group is tasked with developing a reinsurance recapture charge for reinsurance ceded to entities domiciled in non-reciprocal jurisdictions, effective for year-end 2027:

  1. A reinsurance recapture RBC factor to be applied to ceded reserves and modified coinsurance balances for all reinsurance located outside of reciprocal jurisdictions while of course considering an overcollateralizing of the reserves in establishing the required RBC. The factor would account for the additional capital that would be required if a ceding company had to recapture those reserves. 
  2.  To account for increased credit risk for reinsurers that have lower financial strength ratings, modify the reinsurance methodology used in the life RBC formula for recoverability risk by aligning with the approach used in the property/casualty (P/C) RBC formula.

Evaluate the appropriate RBC treatment of Asset-Backed Securities (ABS), including Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO), collateralized fund obligations (CFOs), or other similar securities carrying similar types of tail risk (Complex Assets).

Address the tail risk concerns no captured by reserves for privately structured securities.

Request from E Committee, SAPWG, VOSTF

Referral from the Macroprudential (E) Working Group

Per the request of E Committee comments were solicited asking if these types of assets should be considered a part of the RBC framework.

Proposal 2026-12-IRE (CLO Factors) was adopted on 6/23/26.

The Working Group is considering refinement of modeling assumptions for CLO C-1 Model, as well as looking to proceed with evaluation of RBC treatment for other ABS asset types.

IR5RBC IRE1OngoingEvaluate the appropriate RBC treatment of Residual Tranches.Request from E Committee, SAPWG, VOSTF

Per the request of E Committee comments were solicited asking if these types of assets should be considered a part of the RBC framework.

Proposal 2023-09-IRE was adopted in 2023 to effect a 45% factor for residual tranches/interest for life insurers with effect from YE 2024 reporting. This was deemed an interim solution, subject to positive or negative adjustments based on American Academy of Actuaries’ study. (IR4)

Proposal 2026-12-IRE (CLO Factors) was adopted on 6/23/26. It was concluded that RBC factors for CLO residuals should be retained at 45%.

The Academy is looking into further refinement to CLO modeling assumptions which may impact residual tranche factors.

Academy has developed principles to guide/ inform the mapping. The Working Group endorsed the principles during 12/2/2023 Fall National Meeting.
