    • PIN A6.4 Guidance

      The purpose of the default risk component is to require an Insurer to set aside capital to cover the risk that amounts receivable from counterparties will not be received. The basic calculation model for this component, as it applies to Insurers that are not Protected Cell Companies, is set out in PIN section A4.4. The provisions in this section apply this basic model to the segments of a Protected Cell Company.

      (a) assets that are Invested Assets: the table set out in PIN Rule A4.4.1(a); and

    • PIN A6.4.2

      The provisions of Rules PIN A4.4.2, PIN A4.4.3, PIN A4.4.4, PIN A4.4.5, and PIN A4.4.6 must be applied, mutatis mutandis, to assets of a segment as though references in those Rules to an Insurer were instead references to a segment.

    • PIN A6.4.3

      Notwithstanding anything else in this section:

      (a) the default risk component in respect of any asset that is subject to a fixed or floating charge, mortgage or other encumbrance must be 100% of the value of the asset to the extent of that charge, mortgage or encumbrance. In the case of such assets, the percentages set out in the tables referred to above must be applied only to the amount, if any, by which the value of the asset exceeds the amount of the charge, mortgage or encumbrance; and
      (b) no default risk component must be calculated in respect of assets excluded from Adjusted Cellular Capital Resources or Adjusted Non-Cellular Capital Resources in accordance with Rules PIN A5.4.3(e), PIN A5.4.3(f), PIN A5.4.3(i), PIN A5.4.3(j), PIN A5.8.3(e), PIN A5.8.3(f), PIN A5.8.3(g), PIN A5.8.3(h), PIN A5.8.3(k) or PIN A5.8.3(l).
