3 Introduction
4 External Context The reality out there: Political Economic Technological Social & Demographics Regulatory & Supervisory impact of all the aforementioned (BUT also business) 4
5 Regulatory context Regulation has been a Top 3 risk for executives (Banana skins). Why? Uncertainty and change Prudential regulatory pendulum has shifted Growth as new driver. Conduct regulation as the new area of focus for regulators and politicians! Conduct risk is here to stay. FSB focus, IAIS focus, Regional and local focus as well. Conduct supervision will come (where it is not already business as usual). Compliance functions are still trying to find their way within companies: Are they a pure control function or (similar to the Risk Function) they can evolve towards adding value? 5
6 Hot topics for today and tomorrow
7 Hot topics (in a nutshell) TODAY Solvency II (implementation, interpretation, review(s)) ORSA ( fresh EIOPA report, enhanced expectations) ICS at a global level Brexit and its side effects Conduct risk (including IDD) (GDPR) (IFRS17) TOMORROW From Conduct to Culture Recovery and Resolution PEPP 7
8 Some challenges to be aware of
9 Challenges 01 Excess of Regulation Lack of holistic approach Regulation as a cost Not tailored to local needs? (Greek specific risks and opportunities) Why always wait until last minute? Who owns it? 06 9
10 IDD
11 IDD: What & Why What is IDD? A regulatory piece aimed at regulating How you sell products but also What products you (can) sell, to Whom and at What price. IDD Why IDD?. Why is IDD important? Because it exceeds compliance and gets into business models and strategy. Relevance to companies Under the radar Most companies focused on PRIIPS when the exercise started Strong links and dependencies to other areas Need to involve different departments in the Company Affects all companies and will change how Home-Host business model was built. 11
12 IDD: When There are less than 9 months left to prepare for IDD with even less time to shape the way the regulator will approach the implementation IDD applies from February 23rd, 2018 Q1: EIOPA Thematic Review of unit linked products Q1: EIOPA advice Delegated Acts Q4: Mystery shopping by EIOPA? You need to be on the front foot in your response as IDD will shape the way the industry approaches customers and product design, as: 1. It articulates a formalised need to care about insurance customers 2. It reflects increasing board expectations surrounding customer centricity and accountability 3. It is evidence of regulators new approaches such as behavioural economics 4. National authorities will fine those found to be noncompliant MiFiD II PRIIPs - KID IDD? 12

22 Content: Building Ideas for your Product Supervision and Governance (POG) Agreements on Product Supervision and Governance (POG) are intended to ensure that the interests of customers throughout the life cycle of an insurance product are taken into account. This includes the process of designing and manufacturing the product, commercialization it in the market and monitoring the product once it has been sold. From 2018 onwards, POG will be an integrated part of a centered approach on the customers. Product design Many companies already know that their current focus on the product governance will not meet the new requirements, even if it is only because they are not able to demonstrate their fulfillment. Given that the insurance companies do not have other choice but implementing the new regulation, What are the odds? Product monitoring Customer Sales & Marketing POG 22
23 Content: New Requirements in the Design process and Distribution of the Insurance Products Objetives Manufacturers must clearly identify the Target market of each of the products as well as establish a proper distribution strategy. Procedures Implications of process Establishment of procedures and mechanisms, including process of design, approval and periodic review of products, definition of Target Market and distribution strategy. Product Governance Design & Distribution Distributors must ensure that they have adequate procedures and mechanisms in order to obtain the necessary information from the manufacturer for proper marketing of the product among its customers. Target Market Target Market definition: Determine an appropriate approach to define the identified target market of end customers within the category of customers Monitoring and reviewing on an on going basis the compatibility of products with the needs and characteristics of Target Market. Exchange of information Improving the flow of information between manufacturers and distributors: review and amendment of current information exchange agreements. 23
24 Lessons Learned: Most relevant IDD Challenges ? Technology Inducements Business vs Compliance Deadlines Joint ventures Legal uncertainty IT changes require a great investment in time and money and for this reason they have to be prioritized and identified as soon as possible. The companies are worried about the inducements for their salesforce and how they can ensure the competitiveness. Insurers are looking for the right balance between Marketing, profitability and compliance with IDD. Insurers are not aware of the urgency and the short time available to adapt all issues before deadlines. When the company is involved in a joint venture, the efforts regarding IDD have to be shared, and this cooperation has to be monitored. The legal framework remains uncertain, Europe has no homogeneity regarding local laws, and the delegated acts are not public. 24
25 Risks and Success Factors Risks Success factors Very theoretical and exclusively regulatory. Not properly integrated in business. Insufficient approach to the Technological impact. Absence of clear reflection on business implications and decisions. Increase of deadlines and costs. Multidisciplinary and multidivisional teams. Clarity regarding project ownership Agile decision-making model of governance. Focus on the outcome not on the article. Approach by unconnected silos without global vision. 25
