Survey Approach
• A range of questions were sent to insurers and responses were provided via email.
• Interpretation of the results: • We have not provided reasons or sought to understand why risk margins differ
between companies. • We sought clarification from some, but not all, companies. In some cases, the
results changed upon clarification. Please use care interpreting results. • A total of 23 companies responded to the survey, however the taskforce
elected to exclude 2 companies as their results were outliers and it did not appear that the survey had been filled in robustly. The 23 companies included in the survey are listed on page 5.

31 March 2015. • For group risk, those with greater than $200m annual premium in-force at
31 March 2015.

Question 1
Q1A (i): When did you last change any of your insurance stress margins?
Q1A (ii) If you have recently changed any of your stress margins, which margins changed and what was the reason for the change?

Question 3
Q3A (i) & (ii): Are there remaining aspects where you think the interpretation of the standards is not clear? If so, what are they?
Q3B (i) & (ii): Are there any specific areas of the regulatory capital calculation that you would like more guidance on? If so, what areas do you think requires further guidance and who do you think should provide the guidance?
Yes No
29%
71% The interpretation aspects mentioned were fairly specific to individual companies. Amongst all the responses, some insurers were seeking specific guidance on
Lapse stresses
Combined Stress Scenario calculations
General feedback is that there is no need for more guidance at this stage (15 respondents). A minority of respondents thought that more guidance from APRA (on specific issues) and from the Actuaries Institute (on stress margins) is required.

Introduction
Range of stress margins The range is similar to the last survey (conducted April 2014). In some cases where risk margins are very high, this reflects that the
margin is not material to the capital position of the company and therefore a very approximate approach has been used.
Interpretation of Graphs The bars on each chart indicate the average, minimum and maximum for
each stress margin and type of company (small, large, reinsurer).
