Question

What are the requirements to S.05.01.01 regarding investment management expenses for unit-linked products: in case investment management expenses are built in a product as a charge on the policyholders’ investment returns, should they be reported in S.05.01.01 or not? (OBS: A company is including these expenses in best estimate calculation.)

Answer

Investment management expenses for unit-linked business should be reported in S.05.01. Please note that Investment management expenses are usually not allocated on a policy by policy basis but at the level of a portfolio of insurance contracts. As the amount is reported by LoB the analysis of the expenses for Unit-linked business has to take this aspect into consideration but the amounts should be reported.
