This presentation will be of interest to anyone working in, or advising, an international insurance or reinsurance group. It will also be of interest to reinsurers based outside the European Union with reinsureds based inside the Union. The presentation will:

  • Explain Solvency II’s capital rules for insurers and reinsurers;
  • Explain Solvency II’s group capital and group supervision rules; and
  • Explore the equivalence and other issues that international groups will face if they include companies domiciled inside and outside the European Union, or if a company based inside the Union buys its reinsurance from a carrier outside the Union.

Delegates will receive a set of detailed notes which explain the new regime, what’s missing and what still needs to be done. They will also have an opportunity to ask questions from a UK expert in the field.
