The NAIC looks forward to working with insurers to provide the appropriate structured securities information to facilitate the year-end Annual Statement filing process. Please direct inquiries as follows:
Statutory accounting and/or RBC treatment: 816.783.8400, select RMBS option.
Billing or AVS+ questions: 816.783.8300, select option #5 or securitiessupport@naic.org
Questions pertaining to modeling process, analytics & results: 212.398.9000 or SSGinquirydesk@naic.org
The financial modeling methodology used by the SSG for RMBS and CMBS is described in Part Seven of the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC Investment Analysis Office.
- Financial modeling results in the generation of probability weighted net present values, which we call Price Grids.
For further detail please read the Breakpoint Calculation Overview
-
Price Grids are CUSIP specific price matrices containing five price breakpoints; i.e., each price corresponding to a specific NAIC Designation category.
2020 Breakpoints will match to NAIC Designations with a modifier as explained in the following document,Adopted on 12/23/2020
For further details please visit the VOSTF webpage /cmte_e_vos.htm
- Each breakpoint on a Price Grid is the minimum price point (Book Adjusted Carrying Value) that tips the NAIC Designation for the RMBS/CMBS CUSIP into the next NAIC Designation category.
- Two Price Grids are generated for every CUSIP: one for insurance companies that maintain an asset valuation reserve and another for insurance companies that do not.
- Not all securities submitted for consideration will be modeled. Reasons for why they were not modeled can be found on the RMBS/CMBS Securities Listing page.
Insurance companies use the Prices Grids in accordance with instructions contained in Loan Backed and Structured Securities, in the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual.
- The insurance company first derives a final NAIC Designation for the RMBS or CMBS and they then use that final NAIC Designation to derive the risk-based capital (RBC) applicable to the RMBS or CMBS.
