6.01 Group regulatory capital - Solvency II

 

The group complies with the requirements established by the Solvency II Framework Directive, as adopted by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) in the UK and to measure and monitor its capital resources on this basis.

 

The Solvency II results are estimated for 30 June 2018. Further explanation of the underlying methodology and assumptions are set out in the sections below.

 

The table below shows the "shareholder view" of the group Own Funds, Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and Surplus Own Funds, based on the group's Partial Internal Model, Matching Adjustment and Transitional Measures on Technical Provisions (recalculated as at 30 June 2018).

 

 

(a) Capital position

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As at 30 June 2018 the group had a surplus of £6.9bn (31 December 2017: £6.9bn) over its Solvency Capital Requirement, corresponding to a coverage ratio on a "shareholder view" basis of 193% (31 December 2017: 189%). The shareholder view of the Solvency II capital position is as follows:

SCR coverage ratio4

193%

189%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Solvency II Own Funds do not include an accrual for the interim dividend of £274m (31 December 2017: £658m) declared after the balance sheet date.

 

2. Solvency II Own Funds allow for a risk margin of £5.2bn (31 December 2017: £5.9bn) and TMTP of £5.3bn (31 December 2017: £6.2bn).

 

3. The SCR is not subject to audit.

 

4. Coverage ratio is based on unrounded inputs.

 

 

                     

 

The "shareholder view" basis excludes the contribution that the with-profits fund and the final salary pension scheme would normally make to the group position. This is reflected by reducing the group's Own Funds and the group's SCR by the amount of the SCR for the with-profits fund and the final salary pension scheme.

 

On a proforma basis, which includes the contribution of with-profits fund and the final salary pension scheme in the group's Own Funds and corresponding SCR in group's SCR, the coverage ratio at 30 June 2018 is 186% (31 December 2017: 181%).

 

On 6 December 2017 the group announced its intention to sell the Mature Savings business to Swiss Re. Swiss Re assumed the economic exposure of the business from 1 January 2018 via a risk transfer agreement. It is expected that the formal transfer of the business will be completed in 2019, subject to satisfaction of normal conditions for a transaction including court sanction. The transfer will be effected by way of a Part VII transfer under the Financial Services Markets Act 2000. The impact of the risk transfer agreement had been reflected in the Own Funds at the end of 2017. The impact in SCR has now been incorporated as at 30 June 2018.

6.01 Group regulatory capital - Solvency II (continued)

 

(b) Methodology and assumptions

 

The methodology and assumptions and Partial Internal Model underlying the calculation of Solvency II Own Funds and associated capital requirements are consistent with those set out in the group's 2017 Annual Reports and Accounts and Full Year Results.

 

Non-market assumptions are consistent with those underlying the group's IFRS disclosures, but with the removal of any margins for prudence. Future investment returns and discount rates are those defined by EIOPA, which means that the risk free rates used to discount liabilities are market swap rates net of credit risk adjustment of 10 basis points (31 December 2017: 10 basis points) for sterling denominated liabilities. For annuities that are eligible, the liability discount rate includes a Matching Adjustment. This Matching Adjustment varies between LGAS and LGRe and by the currency of the relevant liabilities.

 

At 30 June 2018 the Matching Adjustment for UK GBP denominated liabilities was 111 basis points (31 December 2017: 106 basis points) after deducting an allowance for the EIOPA fundamental spread equivalent to 53 basis points (31 December 2017: 51 basis points). The increase in Fundamental Spread was driven by changes in the asset portfolio.

1. Based on the risk margin in force at end 2017 and does not include the release of any risk margin added by new business written in 2018.

 

2. TMTP amortisation based on a linear run down of the end-2017 TMTP of £5.3bn (net of tax, £6.2bn before tax).

 

3. Release of surplus generated by in-force business and includes management actions which at the start of the year could have been reasonably expected to take place. For 2018 these are primarily to deliver further eligible assets and liabilities into the Matching Adjustment portfolio and an increase in direct investments allocation to the annuity back-book.

 

4. Dividends paid are the amounts from the 2017 final dividend declaration paid in H1 18 (FY 17: 2016 final and 2017 interim dividend declarations).

 

5. Operating variances include the impact of experience variances, changes to valuation and capital calibration assumptions, other management actions including changes in asset mix, hedging strategies, and Matching Adjustment optimisation.

 

6. Mergers, acquisitions and disposals include the impact of the sale of Mature Savings (in excess of the amount which came through in 2017) and purchase of 100% of CALA Homes.

 

7. Market movements represents the impact of changes in investment market conditions over the period and changes to future economic assumptions. Market movements in half year ended 30 June 2018 include a reduction in the risk margin of £0.4bn (net of tax) and a reduction to TMTP of £0.4bn. 31 December 2017 included a reduction in the risk margin of £2.0bn (net of tax).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operational Surplus Generation is the expected surplus generated from the assets and liabilities in-force at the start of the year. It is based on assumed real world returns and best estimate non-market assumptions. It includes the impact of management actions to the extent that, at the start of the year, these were reasonably expected to be implemented over the year.

 

New Business Strain is the cost of acquiring, and setting up Technical Provisions and SCR capital (net of any premium income), on actual new business written over the year. It is based on economic conditions at the point of sale.

6.01 Group regulatory capital - Solvency II (continued)

 

(f) Sensitivity analysis

 

The following sensitivities are provided to give an indication of how the group's Solvency II surplus as at 30 June 2018 would have changed in a variety of adverse events. These are all independent stresses to a single risk. In practice, the balance sheet is impacted by combinations of stresses and the combined impact can be larger than adding together the impacts of the same stresses in isolation. It is expected that, particularly for market risks, adverse stresses will happen together.

1. The spread sensitivity applies to Legal & General's corporate bond (and similar) holdings, with no change in the firm's long term default expectations.

 

2. The stress for AA bonds is twice that for AAA bonds, for A bonds it is three times, for BBB four times and so on, such that the weighted average spread stress for the portfolio is 100 basis points.

 

3. Credit migration stress covers the cost of an immediate big letter downgrade on 20% of all assets where the capital treatment depends on a credit rating (including corporate bonds, sale and leaseback rental strips and LTM senior notes).

 

4. In the interest rate down stress negative rates are allowed, i.e. there is no floor at zero rates.

 

5. Both the 2017 and 2018 sensitivities exclude the impact from the Mature Savings business (including the with-profits fund) as the risks have been transferred to the ReAssure division of Swiss Re from 1 January 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The above sensitivity analysis does not reflect all management actions which could be taken to reduce the impacts. In practice, the group actively manages its asset and liability positions to respond to market movements. These results all allow (on an approximate basis) for the recalculation of TMTP as at 30 June 2018 where the impact of the stress would cause this to change materially. 

 

The impacts of these stresses are not linear therefore these results should not be used to interpolate or extrapolate the impact of a smaller or larger stress. The results of these tests are indicative of the market conditions prevailing at the balance sheet date. The results would be different if performed at an alternative reporting date.

1. Selected lines of business only.

 

2. The contribution from new business is defined as the present value at the point of sale of expected future Solvency II surplus emerging from new business written in the period using the risk discount rate applicable at the end of the reporting period.

 

3. Margin is based on unrounded inputs.

 

4. In local currency, US Protection reflects PVNBP of $543m (31 December 2017: $985m) and a contribution from new business of $63m (31 December 2017: $115m).

 

5. Assumes reassurance is enacted during 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As in previous years the reported LGR margin includes all of LGR's new business costs including those incurred in quoting on business we expect to conclude in H2 and beyond. The margin increases to 10.3% by only including the costs associated with the business written in H1. This is a better comparator to 2017. The increase reflects the higher long term value generated from the smaller sized schemes written in H1, as well as our ability to source attractive DI assets from bespoke deals such as the buy-in transaction with the BAA Pension Scheme. Additionally, the 2017 margin includes a £250m scheme where the group passes on all of the risk and retains a small facilitation fee.

 

In UK Protection business we have seen competitive pricing pressure combined with a shift in the mix of business towards lower margin products.

 

For US Protection, the new business contribution has increased relative to the 2017 position due to higher new business volumes and more favourable business mix. The change in Solvency II new business margin reflects the significant increase in US risk free rates over the first half of the year. This has more than offset the contribution from a more favourable business mix.

6.02 Estimated Solvency II new business contribution (continued)

 

(b) Basis of preparation

 

Solvency II new business contribution reflects the portion of Solvency II value added by new business written in the period. It has been calculated in a manner consistent with principles and methodologies which were set out in the group's 2017 Annual Report and Accounts and Full Year Results.

 

Solvency II new business contribution has been calculated for the group's most material insurance-related businesses, namely, LGR, LGI and LGA.

 

Intra-group reinsurance arrangements are in place between US and UK businesses and it is expected that these arrangements will be periodically extended to cover recent new business. The LGA new business margin assumes that the new business will be reinsured in 2018 and looks through the intra-group arrangements.

The future earnings are discounted using duration-based discount rates, which is the sum of a duration-based risk free rate and a flat Margin for risk. The risk free rates have been based on a swap curve net of the EIOPA-specified Credit Risk Adjustment. The risk free rate shown above is a weighted average based on the projected cash flows.

 

Tax

 

The projections take into account all tax which is expected to be paid, based on best estimate assumptions, applying current legislation and practice together with substantively enacted future changes.

 

The profits on the new business are calculated on an after tax basis and are grossed up by the notional attributed tax rate. For the UK, the after tax basis assumes the annualised current rate of 19% and subsequent enacted future tax rate of 17% from 1 April 2020 onwards. The tax rate used for grossing up is the long term corporate tax rate in the territory concerned, which for the UK is 17%.

 

US covered business profits are grossed up using the long term corporate tax rate of 21%.

 

Risk discount rate

 

The risk discount rate (RDR) is duration-based and is a combination of the risk free curve and a flat Margin for risk, which reflects the residual risks inherent in the group's businesses, after taking account of margins in the statutory technical provisions, the required capital and the specific allowance for financial options and guarantees.

 

The risk free rates have been based on a swap curve net of the EIOPA-specified Credit Risk Adjustment 10 basis points for GBP and 14 basis points for USD (31 December 2017: 10 basis points for GBP and for USD).

 

The Margin for risk has been determined based on an assessment of the group's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This assessment incorporates a beta for the group, which measures the correlation of movements in the group's share price to movements in a relevant index. Beta values therefore allow for the market's assessment of the risks inherent in the business relative to other companies in the chosen index.

2. At 30 June 2017, the group held £5,660m of reverse repurchase agreements, which were disclosed within Other assets in the above analysis in the interim financial statements for the period then ended. These assets back unit-linked liabilities and hence were incorrectly classified as Investments to which shareholders are directly exposed, rather than Client and policyholder assets. The 30 June 2017 disclosures have been adjusted to reflect this restatement. There is no impact on total assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of this reallocation.

 

3. LGC property includes £23m of shareholder investment property.

 

4. Equity investments include a total of £125m in respect of Peel Media Holdings Limited (MediaCityUK) and Access Development Partnership (30 June 2017: £256m; 31 December 2017: £260m).

 

5. Derivative assets are shown gross of derivative liabilities of £3.3bn (30 June 2017: £2.4bn; 31 December 2017: £2.3bn). Exposures arise from use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, especially the use of interest rate swaps, inflation swaps, credit default swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts for asset and liability management.

 

6. Other assets include reverse repurchase agreements of £752m (30 June 2017: £542m; 31 December 2017: £679m).

 

7. Other assets includes the consolidated net asset value of the group's investments in CALA Homes and other housing businesses, previously disclosed within Financial investments.

1. Direct investments, which generally constitute an agreement with another party, represent an exposure to untraded and often less volatile asset classes. Direct Investments also include physical assets, bilateral loans and private equity, but exclude hedge funds.

2. Traded securities are defined by exclusion. If an instrument is not a Direct Investment, then it is classed as a traded security.

 

3. Bonds include lifetime mortgages of £2,674m (30 June 2017: £1,433; 31 December 2017: £2,023m).

 

4. A further breakdown of property is provided in Note 7.04.

 

5. At 30 June 2017, the group held £5,660m of reverse repurchase agreements, which were disclosed as Other assets in the above analysis in the interim financial statements for the period then ended. These assets back unit-linked liabilities and hence were incorrectly included in the analysis. The 30 June 2017 disclosures have been adjusted to exclude these assets reflecting this restatement. There is no impact on total assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of this reallocation.

* These items represent an alternative performance measure (APM)

 

Ad valorem fees

 

Ongoing management fees earned on assets under management, overlay assets and advisory assets as defined below.

 

Adjusted earnings per share

 

Calculated by dividing profit after tax from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding recognised gains and losses associated with held for sale and completed business disposals, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding employee scheme treasury shares. Excluding the impact of anticipated and completed disposals provides an indication of the earnings per share from continuing operations.

 

Adjusted return on equity

 

ROE measures the return earned by shareholders on shareholder capital retained within the business. Adjusted ROE is calculated as IFRS profit after tax divided by average IFRS shareholders' funds excluding recognised gains and losses associated with held for sale and completed business disposals. Excluding the impact of anticipated and completed disposals provides an indication of the return on equity from on-going operations.

 

Adjusted operating profit*

 

Operating profit measures the pre-tax result excluding the impact of investment volatility, economic assumption changes and exceptional items. Adjusted operating profit further removes exceptional restructuring costs to demonstrate the profitability before these costs which are non-recurring in nature.

 

Advisory assets

 

These are assets on which Global Index Advisors (GIA) provide advisory services. Advisory assets are beneficially owned by GIA's clients and all investment decisions pertaining to these assets are also made by the clients. These are different from Assets under Management (AUM) defined below.

 

Alternative performance measures (APMs)

 

An alternative performance measure is a financial measure of historic or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined under IFRS or the regulations of Solvency II.  The group uses a range of these metrics to provide a better understanding of the underlying performance of the group.  Where appropriate, reconciliations of alternative performance measures to IFRS measures are provided. All APMs defined within this glossary are marked with an asterisk.

 

Annuity

 

Regular payments from an insurance company made for an agreed period of time (usually up to the depth of the recipient) in return for either cash lump sum or a series of premiums which the policyholder has paid to the insurance company during their working lifetime.

 

Annual premium

 

Premiums that are paid regularly over the duration of the contract such as protection policies.

 

Annual premium equivalent (APE)

 

A standardised measure of the volume of new life insurance business written. It is calculated as the sum of (annualised) new recurring premiums and 10% of the new single premiums written in an annual reporting period.

 

Assets under administration (AUA)*

 

Assets administered by Legal & General which are beneficially owned by clients and are therefore not reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Services provided in respect of assets under administration are of an administrative nature, including safekeeping, collecting investment income, settling purchase and sales transactions and record keeping.

 

Assets under management (AUM)*

 

Funds which are managed by our fund managers on behalf of investors. It represents the total amount of money investors have trusted with our fund managers to invest across our investment products.

 

Back book acquisition

 

New business transacted with an insurance company which allows the business to continue to utilise Solvency II transitional measures associated with the business.

 

 

Glossary                                                                                                                                              Page 100

 

 

Bundled DC solution

 

Where investment and administration services are provided to a scheme by the same service provider. Typically, all investment and administration costs are passed onto the scheme members.

 

Bundled pension schemes

 

Where the fund manager bundles together the investment provider role and third-party administrator role, together with the role of selecting funds and providing investment education, into one proposition.

 

Combined operating ratio (COR)

 

The COR is a measure of the underwriting profitability of the general insurance business. It is calculated as the sum of the net incurred claims, expenses and net commission, divided by the net earned premium for the period.

 

Credit rating

 

A measure of the ability of an individual, organisation or country to repay debt. The highest rating is usually AAA and the lowest Unrated. Ratings are usually issued by a credit rating agency (e.g. Moody's or Standard & Poor's) or a credit bureau.

 

Deduction and aggregation (D&A)

 

A method of calculating group solvency on a Solvency II basis, whereby the assets and liabilities of certain entities are excluded from the group consolidation. The net contribution from those entities to group own funds is included as an asset on the group's Solvency II balance sheet. Regulatory approval has been provided to recognise the (re)insurance subsidiaries of LGI US on this basis.

 

Defined benefit pension scheme (DB scheme)

 

A type of pension plan in which an employer/sponsor promises a specified monthly benefit on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee's earnings history, tenure of service and age, rather than depending directly on individual investment returns.

 

Defined contribution pension scheme (DC scheme)

 

A type of pension plan where the pension benefits at retirement are determined by agreed levels of contributions paid into the fund by the member and employer. They provide benefits based upon the money held in each individual's plan specifically on behalf of each member. The amount in each plan at retirement will depend upon the investment returns achieved and on the member and employer contributions.

 

Derivatives

 

Derivatives are not a separate asset class but are contracts usually giving a commitment or right to buy or sell assets on specified conditions, for example on a set date in the future and at a set price. The value of a derivative contract can vary. Derivatives can generally be used with the aim of enhancing the overall investment returns of a fund by taking on an increased risk, or they can be used with the aim of reducing the amount of risk to which a fund is exposed.

 

Direct investments

 

Direct investments, which generally constitute an agreement with another party and represent an exposure to untraded and often less volatile asset classes. Direct investments also include physical assets, bilateral loans and private equity, but exclude hedge funds.

 

Dividend cover

 

Dividend cover measures how many times over the net release from operations in the year could have paid the full year dividend. For example, if the dividend cover is 3, this means that the net release from operations was three times the amount of dividend paid out.

 

Earnings per share (EPS)

 

EPS is a common financial metric which can be used to measure the profitability and strength of a company over time. It is the total shareholder profit after tax divided by the number of shares outstanding. EPS uses a weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

 

Eligible Own Funds

 

Eligible Own Funds represents the capital available to cover the group's Solvency II Capital Requirement. Eligible Own Funds comprise the excess of the value of assets over liabilities, as valued on a Solvency II basis, plus high quality hybrid capital instruments, which are freely available (fungible and transferable) to absorb losses wherever they occur across the group.  Eligible own funds (shareholder view basis) excludes the contribution to the groups solvency capital requirement of with-profits fund and final salary pension schemes.

Employee engagement index

 

The Employee engagement index measures the extent to which employees are committed to the goals of Legal & General and are motivated to contribute to the overall success of the company, whilst at the same time working with their manager to enhance their own sense of development and well-being.

 

Escape of Water

 

Escape of water is a type of home insurance claim relating to leakage from fixed water tanks, apparatus (e.g. washing machine) or pipes

 

ETF

 

LGIM's European Exchange Traded Fund platform

Euro Commercial paper

 

Short term borrowings with maturities of up to 1 year typically issued for working capital purposes.

 

FVTPL

 

Fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset or financial liability that is measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet reports gains and losses arising from movements in fair value within the Consolidated Income Statement as part of the profit or loss for the year.

 

Full year dividend

 

Full year dividend is the total dividend per share declared for the year (including interim dividend but excluding, where appropriate, any special dividend).

 

General insurance combined operating ratio

 

The combined operating ratio is calculated as the sum of incurred losses and expenses, including commission, divided by net earned premium.

 

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

 

These are a widely accepted collection of guidelines and principles, established by accounting standard setters and used

by the accounting community to report financial information.

A legal structure investment funds, based in Ireland and aimed at European investment funds looking for a simple, tax-efficient investment vehicle.

 

Index tracker (passive fund)

 

Index tracker funds invest in most or all of the same shares, and in a similar proportion, as the index they are tracking, for example the FTSE 100 index. Index tracker funds aim to produce a return in line with a particular market or sector, for example, Europe or technology. They are also sometimes known as 'tracker funds'.

 

International financial reporting standards (IFRS)

 

These are accounting guidelines and rules that companies and organisations follow when completing financial statements.

They are designed to enable comparable reporting between companies, and they are the standards that all publicly listed

groups in the European Union (EU) are required to use.

 

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

 

These are measures by which the development, performance or position of the business can be measured effectively. The group Board reviews the KPIs annually and updates them where appropriate.

LGR new business

 

Single premiums arising from annuity sales and back book acquisitions (including individual annuity and pension risk transfer), the volume of lifetime mortgage lending and the notional size of longevity insurance transactions, based on the present value of the fixed leg cash flows discounted at the LIBOR curve.

 

Liability driven investment (LDI)

 

A form of investing in which the main goal is to gain sufficient assets to meet all liabilities, both current and future. This form of investing is most prominent in final salary pension plans, whose liabilities can often reach into billions of pounds for the largest of plans.

 

Lifetime mortgages

 

An equity release product aimed at people aged 60 years and over. It is a mortgage loan secured against the customer's house. Customers do not make any monthly payments and continue to own and live in their house until they move into long term care or on death. A no negative equity guarantee exists such that if the house value on repayment is insufficient to cover the outstanding loan, any shortfall is borne by the lender.

 

Matching adjustment

 

An adjustment to the discount rate used for annuity liabilities in Solvency II balance sheets. This adjustment reflects the fact that the profile of assets held is sufficiently well-matched to the profile of the liabilities, that those assets can be held to maturity, and that any excess return over risk-free (that is not related to defaults) can be earned regardless of asset value fluctuations after purchase.

 

Mortality rate

 

Rate of death, influenced by age, gender and health, used in pricing and calculating liabilities for future policyholders of life and annuity products, which contain mortality risks.

 

Net release from operations*

 

Net release from operations is defined as release from operations plus new business surplus/(strain). Net release from operations was previously referred to as net cash and provides information on the underlying release of prudent margins from the back book.

 

New business surplus/(strain)

 

The net impact of writing new business on the IFRS position, including the benefit/cost of acquiring new business and the setting up of reserves, for UK non profit annuities, workplace savings, protection and savings, net of tax. This metric provides an understanding of the impact of new contracts on the IFRS profit for the year.

 

Operating profit*

 

Operating profit measures the pre-tax result excluding the impact of investment volatility, economic assumption changes and exceptional items. Operating profit therefore reflects longer-term economic assumptions for the group's insurance businesses and shareholder funds, except for LGC's trading businesses (which reflects the IFRS profit before tax) and LGA non-term business (which excludes unrealised investment returns to align with the liability measurement under US GAAP). Variances between actual and smoothed investment return assumptions are reported below operating profit. Exceptional income and expenses which arise outside the normal course of business in the period, such as merger and acquisition, and start-up costs, are also excluded from operating profit.

Overlay assets

 

Overlay assets are derivative assets that are managed alongside the physical assets held by LGIM. These instruments include interest rate swaps, inflation swaps, equity futures and options. These are typically used to hedge risks associated with pension scheme assets during the derisking stage of the pension life cycle.

 

Open architecture

 

Where a company offers investment products from a rang of other companies in addition to its own products. This gives customers a wider choice of funds to invest in and access to a larger pool of money management professionals.

 

Pension risk transfer (PRT)

 

PRT represents bulk annuities bought by entities that run final salary pension schemes to reduce their responsibilities by closing the schemes to new members and passing the assets and obligations to insurance providers.

 

Present value of future new business premiums (PVNBP)*

 

PVNBP is equivalent to total single premiums plus the discounted value of annual premiums expected to be received over the term of the contracts using the same economic and operating assumptions used for the new business value at the end of the financial period. The discounted value of longevity insurance regular premiums and quota share reinsurance single premiums are calculated on a net of reinsurance basis to enable a more representative margin figure.  PVNBP therefore provides an estimate of the present value of the premiums associated with new business written in the year.

 

Platform

 

Online services used by intermediaries and consumers to view and administer their investment portfolios. Platforms usually provide facilities for buying and selling investments (including, in the UK products such as Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) and life insurance) and for viewing an individual's entire portfolio to assess asset allocation and risk exposure.

 

Profit before tax attributable to equity holders (PBT)*

 

Profit attributable to shareholders incorporating actual investment returns experienced during the year but before

the payment of tax.

 

Purchased interest in long term business (PILTB)

 

An estimate of the future profits that will emerge over the remaining term of life and pensions policies that have been

acquired via a business combination.

 

Real assets

 

Real assets encompass a wide variety of tangible debt and equity investments, primarily real estate, infrastructure and energy.  They have the ability to serve as stable sources of long term income in weak markets, while also providing capital appreciation opportunities in strong markets.

 

Release from operations

 

The expected release of IFRS surplus from in-force business for the UK non-profit Insurance and Savings and LGR businesses, the shareholder's share of bonuses on with-profits business, the post-tax operating profit on other UK businesses, including the medium term expected investment return on LGC invested assets, and dividends remitted from LGA. Release from operations was previously referred to as operational cash generation.

 

Return on equity (ROE)*

 

ROE measures the return earned by shareholders on shareholder capital retained within the business. ROE is calculated as IFRS profit after tax divided by average IFRS shareholders' funds (by reference to opening and closing shareholders' funds in the period).

 

Risk appetite

 

The aggregate level and types of risk a company is willing to assume in its exposures and business activities in order

to achieve its business objectives.

SCR coverage ratio

 

The eligible own funds on a regulatory basis divided by the group solvency capital requirement. This represents the number of times the SCR is covered by eligible own funds.

 

SCR coverage ratio (proforma basis)

The proforma basis solvency II SCR coverage ratio incorporates the impacts of a recalculation of the Transitional Measures for Technical Provisions and the contribution of with-profits fund and our defined benefit pension schemes in both Own Funds and the SCR in the calculation of the SCR coverage ratio.

 

SCR coverage ratio (shareholder view basis)

In order to represent a shareholder view of group solvency position, the contribution of with-profits fund and our defined benefit pension schemes is excluded from both the group's Own Funds and the group's solvency capital requirement, by the amount of their respective solvency capital requirements, in the calculation of the SCR coverage ratio. This incorporates the impacts of a recalculation of the Transitional Measures for Technical Provisions based on end of  period economic conditions. The shareholder view basis does not reflect the regulatory capital position as at 30 June 2018. This will be submitted to the PRA in August 2018.

 

Single premiums

 

Single premiums arise on the sale of new contracts where the terms of the policy do not anticipate more than one premium being paid over its lifetime, such as in individual and bulk annuity deals.

 

Solvency II

 

Taking effect from 1 January 2016, the Solvency II regulatory regime is a harmonised prudential framework for insurance firms in the EEA. This single market approach is based on economic principles that measure assets and liabilities to appropriately align insurers' risk with the capital they hold to safeguard policyholder.

 

Solvency II new business contribution

 

Reflects present value at the point of sale of expected future Solvency II surplus emerging from new business written in the period using the risk discount rate applicable at the end of the reporting period.

 

Solvency II Risk Margin

 

An additional liability required in the Solvency II balance sheet, to ensure the total value of technical provisions is equal to the current amount a (re)insurer would have to pay if it were to transfer its insurance and reinsurance obligations immediately to another (re)insurer. The value of the risk margin represents the cost of providing an amount of Eligible Own Funds equal to the Solvency Capital Requirement (relating to non-market risks) necessary to support the insurance and reinsurance obligations over the lifetime thereof.

 

Solvency II Surplus

 

The excess of Eligible Own Funds on a regulatory basis over the Solvency Capital Requirement. This represents the amount of capital available to the company in excess of that required to sustain it in a 1-in-200 year risk event.

 

Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)

 

The amount of Solvency II capital required to cover the losses occurring in a 1-in-200 year risk event.

 

Total shareholder return (TSR)

 

TSR is a measure used to compare the performance of different companies' stocks and shares over time. It combines the share price appreciation and dividends paid to show the total return to the shareholder.

 

Transitional Measures on Technical Provisions (TMTP)

 

This is an adjustment to Solvency II technical provisions to bring them into line with the pre-Solvency II equivalent as at 1 January 2016 when the regulatory basis switched over, to smooth the introduction of the new regime. This will decrease linearly over the 16 years following Solvency II implementation but may be recalculated to allow for changes impacting the relevant business, subject to agreement with the PRA.

 

Unbundled DC solution

 

When investment services and administration services are supplied by separate providers. Typically the sponsoring employer will cover administration costs and scheme members the investment costs.

 

With-profits funds

 

Individually identifiable portfolios where policyholders have a contractual right to receive additional benefits based on factors such as the performance of a pool of assets held within the fund, as a supplement to any guaranteed benefits. An insurer may either have discretion as to the timing of the allocation of those benefits to participating policyholders or

may have discretion as to the timing and the amount of the additional benefits.

 

Yield

 

A measure of the income received from an investment compared to the price paid for the investment. It is usually expressed as a percentage.
