Understand the Life Best Estimate Premium Adjustment

Overview

This calculator implements the Life Best Estimate Premium Adjustment within the undertaking's actuarial valuation framework.[1] The adjustment is defined as the technical driver responsible for aligning the future premium-recognition with the specific contract-boundary rules for life business.

Input Terms

  • Gross Future Premiums: The total premiums expected to be received according to the contract-terms.[2]
  • Adjustment Factor: The reduction applied to premiums occurring after the contract-boundary or where collection-probability is impaired.
  • Net Best Estimate Premium: The final premium-value included in the Best Estimate Liability (BEL).

Technical Rationale

The Life Best Estimate Premium Adjustment is a fundamental component of the undertaking’s technical provision valuation. It ensures the undertaking’s future income-projections are correctly limited and valued using market-consistent principles.

The calculation performs a cash-flow-by-cash-flow test on the future premiums to identify which ones meet the regulatory criteria for inclusion within the Contract Boundaries. Any premiums that do not meet these criteria are excluded or adjusted downward. This ensures the undertaking’s solvency position is not artificially inflated by uncertain or non-binding future income. The results feed the Technical Provisions and S.12.01 views.

Important Notes

  • Level of Segmentation: The premium-adjustment must be performed at a level of granularity that accounts for the specific risk-groups and contract-clauses.
  • Reporting: The displayed result is intended to support the valuation-disclosure components feeding the S.02.01 and the management-reporting packs. [3]
