Hidden reserves occur if the market values of assets are higher than book values. Life insurers had a lot of them before interest rates started to increase sharply recently.
This affects how companies can manage market risks. This new rating explicitly takes into account these reduced hidden reserves when assessing financial strength.
The impressive thing we do at RealRate is to deliver utterly fair and independent company ratings, bringing together expert knowledge and innovative artificial intelligence in one package. Our AI model computes the all-important Economic Capital Ratio figure.
Looking at our model in more detail, one can see it is very much unbiased and only uses audited public data. We are not part of any insurance company.
We are fair, explain ourselves very well, and we also avoid any all-important conflicts of interest.
