Debt
- SCS has developed strong relations with a variety of debt providers
- Both Solvency II and the Scandinavian regulations impose, or are likely to impose, rigid rules that clearly define which debt can be included as solvency qualifying capital
- Generally speaking SCS expects the following to apply:
- To qualify as admissible solvency capital all debt must be subordinated debt
- To achieve full value this subordinated debt must also have an original term of at least 5 years at time of inception
- Once the remaining duration of the subordinated debt reaches 4 years or lower this will reduce the eligible value that can be counted as solvency qualifying capital
- The maximum percentage of subordinated debt that will be allowed as solvency qualifying capital is 50% of the full qualifying solvency capital
- SCS has and continues to develop the most suitable construction of debt to best meet the needs of clients and this will likely evolve as the new regulations are invoked
