SCOR SE, Canadian Branch (“the Branch”) is subject to the regulations set forth by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (“OSFI”). In accordance with the Superintendent’s regulations and guidelines, the Branch is required to maintain a minimum level of assets, depending on the type and amount of reinsurance policies in effect and on the nature of the Branch’s assets. OSFI oversees the distribution of the Branch’s income by monitoring compliance with the minimum margin requirements.

As part of its asset management, the Branch pursues sound capitalization and solvency objectives to ensure asset protection, meet the requirements established by OSFI and support development and growth.

To reach its objectives, the Branch has adopted sound asset management, business and financial practices to support its strategic directions and financial targets and maintain an adequate margin of assets over liabilities. Internal policies include the following:

• The preparation, follow-up and filing of short term and long-term financial forecasts with the Group’s management indicating financial and regulatory margin requirements;
• An investment policy providing, in particular, for the management of the assets and liabilities maturities to limit the risks related to the mismatching of assets and liabilities and to manage required regulatory margins;
• Product pricing reviews.

As part of the Group, the Branch has established a risk management system whose prime objectives are to identify, measure, monitor, manage and report exposure to strategic, underwriting, market, credit, liquidity, operational, retrocession and emerging risks and to maintain these exposures within acceptable limits. It is comprised of 1) a Risk Appetite Framework, which defines the types of risk SCOR is willing to accept as well as related risk tolerance limits, and 2) an Enterprise Risk Management Framework which covers a range of risk management mechanisms to ensure that the risk profile is dynamically optimized whilst remaining aligned with the risk appetite. In particular, control mechanisms, including risk management policies and various risk limits, are in place to manage all types of risks.

The Branch management is provided with regular risk reports that include a snapshot of the key risks that SCOR is exposed to and their trends, as well as an assessment whether these risks are qualitatively or quantitatively in line with SCOR’s strategy and risk appetite.
