18 EIOPA s advice on pensions
19 Background April 2011: Commission asked EIOPA s advice on review of IORP (occupational pensions) directive February 2012: EIOPA s advice delivered 19
20 What are the key elements of the advice? Entire EU regulatory framework for occupational pensions Acknowledgement of the social and labour law context Scope unchanged, but Commission to consider Valuation of assets and liabilities market-consistent Holistic balance sheet - later Common principles for the governance of IORPs Information to members of defined contribution schemes to include a key information document and an annual statement 20
21 What will be the impact on different sorts of scheme? Defined contribution schemes Defined benefit schemes Cross-border schemes 21
22 Defined contribution schemes Aim: members should have confidence in their DC IORP regardless of where in the EU it is located Information o Correct, understandable and not misleading o Key information document o Annual statement Default funds etc. o Identification and diffusion of best practice o Possibility that some elements mandatory/regulated at EU level Governance/disclosure 22
23 Defined benefit schemes Principles o Transparency o Comparability o Comprehensiveness Recommendations o Valuations market consistent o Valuations include enforceable elements of pensions promise o Holistic balance sheet o Prudent person rule for investments 23
24 Defined benefit schemes: holistic balance sheet Diversity of security mechanisms for IORPs Holistic balance sheets includes all economic exposures Prudential supervisory assessment tool Recommended in principle In practice: o Methodology for quantification o Cost effectiveness of methodology 24
25 Illustration of holistic balance sheet 25
26 Defined benefit schemes: how does this relate to the Solvency II framework for insurance? Similarities o Market-consistent approach o Explicit recognition of risks and of sources of finance and other support o Common governance principles Differences o Recognition that some sources of IORP support are absent or uncommon for insurance o Recognition of specific features of IORPs o Particular emphasis on proportionality 26
27 Cross-border schemes 84 out of 140,000 Simplified definition of cross-border: o When IORP and sponsoring activity in two different member states Definition of prudential regulation 27
28 Other issues: governance Common level of principles In general, Solvency II the starting point Governance requirements o Fit and proper o Risk management o Own risk and solvency assessment o Internal controls o Internal audit o Actuarial function o Outsourcing o Custodian/depository 28
29 Other issues: supervision Supervisors should have the power to carry out stress tests Potential pro-cyclical impact considered If greater harmonisation, then should be increased harmonisation of information to supervisors 29
30 What happens next? A process not an abrupt outcome QIS o Comprises a quantitative study of the impact on IORPs in different member states of the capital requirements section of the advice o Provides quantification of the costs of the different options and bases o Does not however include a cost-benefit analysis of the results o EIOPA will consider whether to offer further views on those aspects of valuation and capital requirements which are affected by the QIS. The current intention is to complete the QIS by end-q
