Investor presentation summary
26 Mar, 2026Overview of the economic value-based solvency regulation and response policy
New economic value-based solvency regulations effective March 31, 2026, aim to enhance policyholder protection, risk management, and information disclosure.
ESR will be measured and disclosed per new standards, with business management aligned to these ESR standards.
Solvency regulations introduce three pillars: solvency requirements, internal control and supervisory review, and enhanced disclosure.
ESR standards set intervention thresholds, requiring recovery actions if ratios fall below set levels.
Key disclosures of new EV and ESR figures are scheduled for mid-May and late July 2026.
ESR indicators after the introduction of new regulations
ESR as of September 30, 2025, is 197%, down 11 points from the old standard due to inclusion of mass lapse risk and use of standard stress coefficients.
Qualifying capital remains at ¥4.75 trillion, with required capital at ¥2.41 trillion under the new standard.
Changes reflect broader risk coverage and adjustments in risk calculation methodology.
Breakdown and sensitivity of required capital
Surrender and lapse risk remains a significant portion of required capital, with asset management risks also prominent.
Sensitivity to yen interest rate fluctuations has increased due to mass lapse risk.
Required capital breakdown: insurance underwriting risk 38%, asset management risk 54%, operational risk 7%.
