Pricing: The 2022 Structured Securities modeled data prices for CUSIPs held by insurers is $105 per CMBS CUSIP and $75 per RMBS CUSIP.

The implementation of the full range of 20 NAIC Designation Categories in the NAIC’s CMBS/RMBS year-end financial modeling will take place this year-end 2022. This is to support the updated Risk Based Capital factors that were adopted in 2021. As part of the implementation, several changes are being made to the macroeconomic scenarios and probability assignments.

Please refer to a recent amendment to Part 4 of the P&P Manual and the Modeling Update meeting material prepared for the Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force:

• Part 4 of the P&P Manual Update Amendment to the P&P Manual updating Part Four for NAIC designation categories and additional price points 
• And Attachment Eleven for Macroeconomic Scenarios and Assignment of Probabilities for CMBS and RMBS https://content.naic.org/sites/default/files/national_meeting/VOSTF%20Materials%208.11.2022%20v7.pdf

In summary:

• The price breakpoint calculation for Legacy CMBS/RMBS and NAIC Designation Category mapping for Non-legacy CMBS/RMBC will reflect the updated RBC factors.
• The total number of scenarios increases to 8 from 4; these scenarios are meant to be through-the-cycle.
• Probability weights have been reallocated to accommodate the additional scenarios.

NAIC’s CMBS and RMBS 2022 Interim Updates:
Proforma Modeling Results (posted 11/30/22)

To assist insurers in their efforts to assess the impact of these changes, the NAIC will make an interim update - proforma modeling results - available to insurers free of charge later this year, based on each insurer’s year-end 2021 holdings.
*Please note that these interim results are for informational purposes only and cannot be used for investment reporting.

Also of note from last year:

Each financially modeled Non-Legacy Security (RMBS and CMBS that closed on or after January 1, 2013*) will receive a single NAIC Designation and NAIC Designation category rather than Price Grids (breakpoints). Price Grids will continue to be provided for financially modelled RMBS and CMBS Legacy Securities (RMBS and CMBS that closed prior to January 1, 2013).

You can see additional details related to this change on AVS+ Bulletin Board and in the amendment document adopted by the Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force.

For further details and latest relevant information, please visit the Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force webpage.

*For re-REMICs, the Legacy and Non-Legacy classification of underlying securities will determine whether each RMBS/CMBS is to be assigned a single NAIC Designation and Designation Category or is subject to price breakpoints.
