Abstract

Solvency 2 Directive provides a range of methods to calculate the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). Focusing on the Standard Formula (SF) approach with Undertaking-Specific Parameters (USPs), the Technical Specifications (TS) of Quantitative Impact Study 5 (QIS5) describes a subset of the SF market parameters (standard deviations) that may be replaced by USPs, in order to calculate the SCR deriving from Premium Risk, using three different standardised methods. Compared to the existing literature and practice, this paper innovates in that this standard deviation will be calculated using a Partial Internal Risk Model (PIRM), based on Generalised Linear or Additive Models (GLM or GAM), showing how the techniques usually developed for premium calculation could be useful for this goal.
