Asset Defaults: None in Canadian Life Minor elsewhere in other insurance Equities: Very small segregated fund portfolio Material impact in traditional life Disability: Less impact than expected from an economic downturn Impacts
Lower interest rates Provide for 50% excess credit spread Keeping ahead of ultimate reinvestment rate reductions Looks a lot like last year’s DCAT adverse interest rate scenario Asset Extension Better matching generated liability reductions in CALM Impacts
Small income impact from volatility in the Initial Reinvestment Rate: Market value change on excess HFT assets tends to offset much of the impact of IRR changes Quarterly income volatility from equity assets held in the general account Impacts
Investment Restrictions: Tight money lending conditions Asset sector limits Limitation on commercial mortgages Impacts
Universal Life Less change in policyholder behaviour than expected Deposits still being made No significant difference in fund transfers or partial surrenders Policy lapses not significantly impacted Impacts
No impact from asset default Equity market downturn noticeable Providing for lower interest rates Disability experience slightly adverse Universal Life neutral Asset extension favourable to income Limitations in asset choices “not really that bad a year” Summary
