Abstract
Abstract Solvency II imposes not only prudential requirements on individual (re)insurance undertakings in Europe, but also regulatory requirements at group level. Group requirements reflect the view that the group context can generate benefits—such as synergy and diversification effects—and may improve the risk profile of individual entities, while also creating additional risks for group members compared with stand-alone undertakings. Historically, group requirements were regarded as supplementary, and this remains relevant in many respects. However, Solvency II represents a significant step in the maturation of insurance group supervision, raising the question whether group supervision is still truly ‘supplementary’ in all respects. This chapter examines Pillar 1 requirements and analyses the objectives of Solvency II group supervision, with particular emphasis on group solvency requirements. It starts with reflections on the nature, purpose, and objectives of group supervision—especially the supervision of group solvency—and outlines alternative approaches to insurance group supervision. It then turns to Solvency II group supervision, highlighting selected features and issues relevant to group solvency. The chapter concludes by summarising key international developments and drawing overall conclusions.
