Understand the Equity Risk

Overview

This calculator implements the gross capital requirement for the Equity Risk sub-module by aggregating the prepared Type 1 and Type 2 equity capital amounts under Article 168.[1]

Input Terms

  • Type 1 Equity Risk: Prepared Type 1 equity risk capital after the relevant Type 1, strategic, long-term, duration-based, transitional, and symmetric-adjustment treatment has already been calculated.[1]
  • Type 2 Equity Risk: Prepared Type 2 equity risk capital after standard Type 2, qualifying infrastructure equity, qualifying infrastructure corporate equity, strategic, long-term, duration-based, transitional, and symmetric-adjustment treatment has already been calculated.[1]

Technical Rationale

Article 168 does not add Type 1 and Type 2 equity capital requirements directly. It applies the equity correlation structure, using a 0.75 correlation between the prepared Type 1 amount and the prepared Type 2 amount.

The standalone sum and diversification benefit are shown so the bridge from prepared component amounts to the final Equity Risk amount remains visible.

Important Notes

  • Calculation scope: This page is the final Article 168 equity aggregation. It does not classify individual assets, run Article 84 look-through, test preferential-treatment eligibility, or calculate the Type 1 / Type 2 branch amounts.
  • Look-Through Approach: Per Article 84 of the Delegated Regulation, insurers must "look through" investment funds to the underlying holdings so exposures are allocated to the correct equity buckets before this standalone amount is applied.[2]
  • Gross vs. Net SCR: This calculator determines the standalone Equity Risk SCR. Solvency II risk is only finalized as a net impact on Basic Own Funds after diversification in Market Risk, then within BSCR, and after the top-level LAC TP and LAC DT adjustments.
  • Regulatory deviation: Material deviation from standard-formula assumptions at this layer may support a capital add-on or a move toward an internal model where justified.[3]
  • Reporting: The displayed result is intended to support the corresponding standard-formula component for the S.25.01.01 standard-formula reporting view.[4]
