How automation, speed, and auditability are changing the game for capital adequacy.
If you are a risk manager or actuary at an (re)insurance firm, you know the drill. The annual Solvency II calculation is a marathon. You wrestle with the Standard Formula, coordinate between five risk modules (Market, Credit, Life, Health, Non-Life), and pray that your nested Excel files don’t crash at 11 PM on a Friday.
Consider the cost of a regulatory finding due to an SCR miscalculation. Fines aside, a restated SCR can shake market confidence. Conversely, SCR software allows you to run the calculation quarterly (or monthly) rather than annually. That means you can optimize your reinsurance program and asset allocation in real time, potentially reducing your actual capital held.
