Question

Is our understanding correct, that if the best estimate is negative, then it should be reported as an asset in the reports S.26.03 and S.26.04?

Answer

Negative best estimates remain a liability and should not be reported as an asset. In template S.26.03, as an example, the column of the Assets should only include the values of the assets subject to mortality risk, e.g. derivatives or structure products.
