1 Introduction
This report provides an overview of the 2023 SST results and is based on data collected from
128 insurers (15 life insurers, 52 general insurers, 16 health insurers, 22 reinsurers and 23
reinsurance captives).
The survey was carried out at peer-group level according to sector: life, general insurance,
health, reinsurance and reinsurance captives. The survey shows breakdowns of various key
indicators such as total assets or liabilities, or target capital.
Unless otherwise stated, the scenario analysis only considers data of those companies
where the specific scenario has an impact on the risk-bearing capital (RBC). This avoids distor-
tion due to companies for which a given scenario has no relevance. Note that when less than
five companies are concerned only the mean value is displayed.
Quality and completeness checks were carried out for each key indicator, resolving most of
the errors and obvious deficiencies. The Fundamental Data Sheets (FDS) completed by com-
panies are the data source for this survey. The FDS contains detailed quantitative information
such as the decomposition of risk-bearing capital and target capital (TC). All supervised insur-
ers are requested to submit it to FINMA, regardless of whether they use a standard model or an
internal model.
2 Solvency overview
This report is divided into five sections according to sector: life, general insurance, health,
reinsurance and reinsurance captive. Table 1 shows the breakdown of the 128 insurers into
sector and category.1 All supervised insurers are assigned to categories 2 to 5; categories 1
and 6 are not relevant for insurers.

3 Model overview
Of the 128 companies included in this report, 17 use an internal model for at least one module
(excluding NatCat). The other 111 companies are users of the standard models. From these
companies 17 use an additional internal model to determine their NatCat risks (cf. Table 4).

Table 4: Total number of (partial) internal models (IM), standard models (SM) and standard
models with an internal model component to capture NatCat risks exclusively, over the past
years and by legal entity.
Accordingly, the remaining (partial) internal models are predominantly needed for the calcu-
lation of the insurance risk. Frequently, when the standard model ”out of the box” is not adequate
to capture the company specific risk situation, a so-called company specific adjustment can be
applied. In 2023 this was the case for 16 companies for their market risk, 2 for their credit risk
module; and in 17 cases for the insurance risk module (cf. Table 5).

4 Goals of the analyses
The analyses presented in this section give a deeper insight into:
• investment structure;
• liability structure;
• best estimate of liabilities and target capital in relation to the total assets;
• split of target capital into its components, e.g. market, credit and insurance risk;
• split of market risk (including participation risk) into interest rate risk, equity risk, etc.;
• split of interest rate risk into different currencies;
• scenarios and their impact on risk-bearing capital; indication of whether the SST capital
requirements after scenario impacts are still met.
Two types of graph are shown:
• waterfall diagrams;
• box plots providing information on data dispersion.
To avoid conclusions that can be drawn about an insurers individual risk profile, the data
are pooled by insurance sector. The graphs illustrate a breakdown of the indicators into their
components.
Assets
The total assets in the market-consistent balance sheet are shown as the sum of the different
asset types (e.g. bonds, real estate, shares, etc.).
Liabilities
The total liabilities in the market-consistent balance sheet are split according to liability type.
Best estimate of liabilities and target capital in relation to the balance sheet total
The market value of assets (MV(A)) is decomposed into:
• best estimate of liabilities (BEL);
• market value margin (MVM);
• one-year capital requirement (SCR), which is computed as the difference between the
target capital (TC) and the market value margin. The TC, SCR and MVM are linked
through
TC = SCR + MVM (1)
• excess capital (EC), which is defined as the difference between the risk-bearing capital
(RBC) and the target capital (TC), which gives
RBC = TC + EC (2)
6
• supplementary capital (SC);
• deductions (D).
More precisely:
MV(A) = BEL + MVM + SCR + EC − SC + D.
To show this, note that the core capital (CC) and the risk-bearing capital (RBC) are related
through
RBC = CC + SC. (3)
CC can now be expressed as:
CC = MV(A) − BEL − D,
from which the following relation is derived by means of (3):
MV(A) = BEL + RBC − SC + D.
By means of (1) and (2) we conclude that
MV(A) = BEL + EC + TC − SC + D
= BEL + MVM + SCR + EC − SC + D.
Target capital decomposition

Target capital is the sum of the one-year capital requirement (SCR) and the market value margin
(MVM). In turn, the SCR key components are market risk, credit risk, insurance risk and effect
of the scenarios and diversification.
Market risk analysis

Market risk plays an important role in an economic, risk-based solvency regime. A number of
risk factors, such as interest rates, credit spreads, exchange rates, real estate, to name but a
few, contribute to market risk. Waterfall and box plot diagrams are used to present the most
important market risk factors.
Interest rate risk analysis

Insurers with assets and liabilities denominated in different currencies are exposed to currency
risk and generally also to interest rate risk. In such cases, the total interest rate risk comprises
the interest rate risk of each currency. We have shown the decomposition of the total interest
rate risk into four currencies CHF, EUR, USD and GBP, including the effect of diversification.
Scenarios
For each scenario, we compute and show the impact ratio, which is defined as below:
RBC − MVM + c
Impact ratio = .
RBC − MVM
Typically, a scenario impact c with a negative value represents a loss. To concentrate only on
relevant scenarios, scenarios with no impact (i.e. c = 0) are ignored.
This loss is understood as the maximum loss an insurer can endure and still remain solvent.
It is quantified by excess capital (EC), i.e. c = −EC. To obtain the corresponding impact ratio,
we use relation (2), i.e. RBC = TC + EC:
RBC − MVM − EC TC − MVM
Impact ratio = = .
RBC − MVM RBC − MVM

5 Life
The overall SST ratio calculated over all life insurers increased by 2.97 percentage points from
236% in 2022 to 243% in 2023. The risk bearing capital decreased by 17.32% to CHF 67.525
million, while the target capital went down by 20.65% to CHF 31.261 million. The comparison is
based on aggregate numbers obtained by summing over all life insurers (15 in total).
With regards to the individual analysis, in order to avoid that companies with larger volume
dominate the results, an average over the percentages for each company is shown.

5.1 Comments on results
The asset portfolios of life insurers are mainly concentrated in bonds (39%) followed by real es-
tate (22%), as illustrated in Figure 1 ”Assets”. A further breakdown of the investment categories
bonds and real estate is shown in Table 6.
As shown in Figure 3 ”Liabilities”, the liabilities of life insurers are mainly concentrated in life
liabilities (individual) (40%) followed by life liabilities (group) (30%). In Table 7, a breakdown of
loss reserves and other liabilities into their components is shown.
In Figure 7 ”Target capital decomposition” it is shown that the one-year capital and market
value margin correspond to 83% and 17% of the target capital, respectively. The one-year
capital is driven (before diversification) by the market risk (60%) followed by the insurance risk
(23%) and credit risk (20%).
The main drivers of the market risk (before diversification) are the interest rate risk (44%) and
spread risk (41%). As shown in Figure 11, interest rate risk is dominated by the CHF interest
rate risk (116% before diversification).

7 Health
The overall SST ratio calculated over all health insurers decreased by 7.12 percentage points
from 393% in 2022 to 365% in 2023. The risk bearing capital decreased by 7.05% to CHF
23.816 million, while the target capital went down by 2.98% to CHF 8.049 million. The com-
parison is based on aggregate numbers obtained by summing over all health insurers (16 in
total).

shares (19%), as illustrated in Figure 35 ”Assets”. A further breakdown of the investment cate-
gories bonds and real estate is shown in Table 10.
As shown in Figure 37 ”Liabilities”, the liabilities of health insurers are mainly concentrated
in loss reserves (45%) followed by other liabilities (28%). In Table 11, a breakdown of loss
reserves and other liabilities into their components is shown.
The main drivers of the market risk (before diversification) are the interest rate risk (57%)
and equity risk (53%). As shown in Figure 45, interest rate risk is dominated by the CHF interest
rate risk (95% before diversification).

A Glossary for figures
In the following appendix, risk is measured by the 99% expected shortfall.
A.1 Waterfall chart

Waterfall charts explain the quantitative decomposition of an entity by revealing the cumulative
positive and negative effects of its components in the form of bars. The waterfall charts in this
report show unweighted mean values.
A.2 Box-plot
Each box-plot graphic consists of a box and two lines extending vertically from the box, called
whiskers. The box is defined through the lower quartile, the 0.25-quantile of the input data, and
the upper quartile, the 0.75-quartile of the input data. The horizontal line inside the box is the
median, i.e. half of the points are less and half of the points are larger than the median.
The whiskers indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles within a defined ”in-
terquantile range”. Any data outside of the whisker range is supposed to be an outlier and is
denoted with a star (individual points).
The box plots in this report exclude all data points equal to zero. Moreover, if less than 5
companies submitted data, only the mean value is shown.
A.3 Liabilities
Loss reserves Best estimate of liabilities, gross of reinsurance, for claims in general
insurance or treatments in health insurance which happened prior to
the reference date of the balance sheet.
Life liabilities (Indi- Best estimate of liabilities, gross of reinsurance, for individual life insur-

Life liabilities Best estimate of liabilities, gross of reinsurance, for group life insurance
(Group) contracts, excluding unit-linked liabilities.
Long-term liabili- Best estimate of liabilities, gross of reinsurance, for health insurers ow-
ties ing to the fact that the insurer is obliged to renew the health insurance
contract until the death of the insured.
Other insurance Best estimate of other insurance liabilities, gross of reinsurance.

liabilities
Unit-linked liabili- Best estimate of liabilities, net of reinsurance, for unit-linked insurance
ties contracts.
Other liabilities Remaining liabilities, e.g. surplus funds, bonds/loans, various obliga-
tions, etc.

A.4 Best estimate of liabilities and target capital in relation to the balance
sheet total
Best estimate of Best estimate value of liabilities at the reference date of the SST.
liabilities
Market value mar- Expected cost of the risk-bearing capital to be held for the settlement of
gin the insurance liabilities over their lifetime.
One-year capital Risk arising from the one-year change in risk-bearing capital. The sum
requirement of the one-year capital requirement plus the market value margin equals
the target capital.
Excess capital Commonly used to refer to that part of the risk-bearing capital that is
held by an insurer in excess of the target capital, i.e. risk-bearing capital
minus target capital.
Supplementary Additional capital eligible to cover an insurers target capital such as

capital hybrid capital or subordinated debt.
Deductions Regulatory adjustments for determining an insurers core capital. De-

ductions include, among others, own shares, goodwill and other intan-
gibles, planned dividend payments or repayments of debt.
A.5 Target capital decomposition
Market risk Standalone risk from financial market risk factors.
Expected financial Negative of the expected financial result on the assets in excess of the
result risk-free rate.
Credit risk Standalone credit risk (default and migration).
Insurance risk Standalone insurance risk.
Expected technical Negative of the expected result on the new insurance business, exclud-
result ing the financial result.
Scenarios Impact of the scenarios (prescribed and company-specific) on the target

capital.
Other Impact on the target capital of risks not included elsewhere (e.g. guar-
antee).
One-year capital Risk arising from the one-year change in risk-bearing capital. The sum
requirement of the one-year capital requirement and the discounted market value
margin is equal to the target capital.
59
Market value mar- Expected cost of the risk-bearing capital to be held for the settlement of
gin the insurance liabilities over their lifetime.
A.6 Market risk analysis
Spread risk Risk arising from corporate and governmental spreads over the risk-free
rate.
Currency risk Risk arising from the foreign exchange market.
Equity risk Risk arising from quoted shares and share funds.
Property risk Risk arising from real estate investments and real estate funds.
Hedge funds risk Risk arising from hedge funds.
Private equity risk Risk arising from private equity investments.
Participations risk Risk arising from participations in enterprises not recognised for official
quotation that is not private equity.
Other Risk arising from market risk but not covered by above categories.
A.7 Interest rates analysis
CHF interest rate Risk arising from Swiss risk-free interest rates.

A.8 General insurance risk analysis
Reserve risk Risk that ultimate costs relating to incurred claims (existing claims) vary
from those assumed when the liabilities were estimated. Reserve risk
arises from claim sizes being greater than expected or differences in
timing of claims payments from expected.
60
Normal claims Risk from claims with loss amounts below a certain threshold value,
typically characterized by high frequencies and low severities.
Related terms: frequency claims, small claims, attritional claims
Large claims Risk from claims with loss amounts above a certain threshold value,
typically characterized by low frequencies and high severities.
Nat Cat Risk from claims triggered by a single event, or a series of events (natu-
ral hazards such as earthquake, flood, hail, storm, etc.), of major mag-
nitude, usually over a short period (often 72 hours) that lead to a signif-
icant deviation in actual claims from the total expected claims.
B Global glossary
Core capital Core measure of an insurer’s strength from a regulatory perspective.

Core capital equals the market-consistent value of assets minus the
market-consistent value of liabilities minus deductions plus the market
value margin.
Related terms: market-consistent valuation, market value margin,

deductions
Cost of capital Cost rate used to determine the costs expected for all future one-year
charge capital requirements until run-off.
Economic balance Balance sheet statement based on market-consistent values for all
sheet assets and liabilities relating to in-force business, including off-balance
sheet items.
Related terms: market-consistent valuation, total balance sheet

approach
Expected shortfall A coherent risk measure. For a given confidence level of 1 − α, it

measures the average losses over the threshold defined (typically set
as the value-at-risk for a percentile given), i.e. the conditional mean
value, given that the loss exceeds the 1 − α percentile.
Related term: value-at-risk
Fundamental data Form to report figures for the annual SST reporting process. It needs to
sheet be submitted to FINMA by all insurers, regardless of whether they use
an internal model or the SST standard model.
Market-consistent The practice of valuing assets and liabilities on market values, where
valuation observable, with a given quality (mark-to-market); where not, on
market-consistent valuation techniques (mark-to-model).
61
Premium risk Risk that ultimate costs relating to future claims vary from those
assumed when the obligations were estimated. Premium risk arises
from claim sizes being greater than expected or differences in claims
frequency from those expected. Premium risk is composed of fre-
quency claims, large claims and catastrophe claims.
Synonyms: current year risks, underwriting risks, pricing risk
Related terms: reserve risk
Risk-bearing capi- Capital which may be taken into account when determining the insurers
tal available capital for SST purposes. Risk-bearing capital is defined as
the sum of the core capital with the supplementary capital.
Related terms: core capital, supplementary capital
Risk-free interest Risk-free interest rate is the theoretical rate of return of an investment
rate with no credit risk.
Related term: risk-free yield curve
Risk-free yield Curve that shows the relation between the risk-free interest rate (or
curve cost of borrowing) and the time to maturity (the term) of the debt for
a given borrower in a given currency. The yield curves corresponding
to the bonds issued by governments in their own currency are called
the government bond yield curves and considered as risk-free in the
context of the SST.
Related terms: risk-free interest rate
Supervisory cate- System of six risk categories to which each supervised institution is
gory assigned. Categorisation is based on the risks posed to creditors,
investors and policyholders, as well as to the entire system, and to
Switzerland’s reputation as a financial centre. Supervised institutions
in category 1 are characterised by their size and global relevance, and
the associated significant risks posed at various levels. In the other
categories, the institutions’ risk potential decreases incrementally to
category 5, while those in category 6 are not subject to prudential
supervision.
62
Supplementary Additional capital eligible to cover an insurer’s target capital. Supple-
capital mentary capital is split between lower supplementary capital and upper
supplementary capital, depending on how well the capital can absorb
losses. Supplementary capital includes instruments with risk-absorbing
properties such as hybrid capital or subordinated debt. For instance,
perpetual subordinated loans qualify as upper supplementary capital,
whereas subordinated bonds with a fixed maturity date qualify as lower
supplementary capital.
Related terms: risk-bearing capital, target capital
Target capital The amount of capital to be held by an insurer to meet the quantitative
requirements under the SST. The target capital equals the sum of the
one-year capital requirement plus the market value margin.
Related terms: one-year capital requirement, market value mar-

gin
Total balance Principle which states that the determination of the amount of capital an
sheet approach insurer has available and needs for solvency purposes should be based
upon all assets and liabilities, as measured in the insurers regulatory
balance sheet (e.g. market-consistently), and how they interact.
Related terms: economic balance sheet, market-consistent valua-

tion
Value-at-risk Value-at-risk is a percentile of a distribution and is used as a (non-

coherent) risk measure.
Related term: expected shortfall
