  • (b) 0.5% of the amount of provisions in respect of Long-Term Insurance Business that is investment-linked insurance, where the contracts are not subject to a capital guarantee;
  • (c) 3% of the amount of provisions in respect of Long-Term Insurance Business other than business described in paragraphs (a) and (b);
  • (d) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of capital at risk under paragraph 9.3 by 0.1%;
  • (e) if the AIFC-Incorporated Insurer issues policies that are contingent on mortality—the amount of anticipated claims cost arising from a 0.5 per thousand increase in the rate of lives insured dying over the following year.

(1) Capital at risk of an AIFC-Incorporated Insurer means the total amount of sums assured on Long-Term Insurance Contracts issued by the AIFC-Incorporated Insurer, less:

  • (a) the total amount of mathematical reserves for those contracts; and
  • (b) any expected reinsurance and non-reinsurance recoveries as at the Solvency Reference Date.
