Understand the Health SLT Mortality Year-k Capital at Risk

Overview

This calculator isolates the Article 97 year-k positive-capital-at-risk measure for Health SLT Mortality Risk simplification.[1] It starts from gross death-benefit amounts and best estimate obligations, then derives the net amounts after recoverables from reinsurance contracts and special purpose vehicles.

Input Terms

  • Year-k Death Payment Gross: The gross amount payable in projection year k if the insured persons die under the contract.[1]
  • EPV Future Death Payments After Year k Gross: The gross expected present value of death-contingent amounts not covered by the year-k death payment and payable after year k in the event of immediate death.[1]
  • Year-k Best Estimate Obligations Gross: The corresponding gross best estimate obligations in projection year k.[1]
  • Year-k Death Payment Recoverables: Advanced inputs deduct recoverables from reinsurance contracts and special purpose vehicles for the year-k death payment component.[1]
  • Future Death Payments After Year k Recoverables: Advanced inputs deduct recoverables from reinsurance contracts and special purpose vehicles for future death payments after year k.[1]
  • Year-k Best Estimate Recoverables: Advanced inputs deduct recoverables from reinsurance contracts and special purpose vehicles for the year-k best estimate obligation component.[1]

Technical Rationale

Article 97 defines CAR<sub>k</sub> as the positive difference between net death-benefit amounts and the corresponding net best estimate obligations for projection year k.[1] The zero floor prevents contracts or years with no adverse mortality exposure from offsetting positive capital-at-risk amounts.

The gross, reinsurance, and SPV split keeps the net Article 97 position traceable while preserving the same year-k capital-at-risk boundary before survival weighting, discounting, and summation across projection years.

Important Notes

  • This is a year-level Article 97 input measure, not a standalone SCR amount.
  • Reinsurance and SPV recoverables are always explicit advanced inputs so the net position remains traceable.
