  • Insurance Sector Responses to COVID-19 by Governments, Supervisors and Industry
    Insurance sector responses to COVID-19 by governments, supervisors and industry www.oecd.org/finance/insurance 2 July 2020 The spread of COVID-19 and the measures implemented to reduce its transmission are having (and will continue to have) significant impacts on the (re)insurance sector, as investors, as providers of insurance coverage and as businesses that will need to adapt their approaches to service delivery. This report provides an overview of the measures that governments, insurance regulators and supervisors and insurance associations and individual companies have taken to respond to COVID-19 across three main areas: (i) ensuring continuity of operations; (ii) managing solvency and liquidity risks; and (iii) providing support to policyholders that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Summary of response measures Ensuring continuity of insurance services Insurance companies have implemented business continuity plans to maintain the delivery of essential insurance functions with a focus on digital service delivery (requiring regulatory adjustments in some jurisdictions) Insurance supervisors are closely monitoring the implementation of business continuity plans and some are providing specific guidance while taking steps to reduce the administrative burden of regulatory and supervisory functions (reporting, policy and regulation development) Managing solvency and liquidity risks Insurance supervisors are monitoring market, underwriting and liquidity risks based on existing financial and supervisory information including relevant past stress tests results. Many jurisdictions have requested additional data from insurance companies related to risks that have come to light as a result of COVID-19. Some insurance supervisors are implementing existing countercyclical supervisory tools while a few others have made some adjustments to regulatory or supervisory requirements in response to the health emergency, including flexibility in the implementation of investment limits or accounting standards.

  • Old Mutual Limited - Climate Change 2020
    Old Mutual Limited - Climate Change 2020 C0. Introduction C0.1 CDP Page 1 of 53 (C0.1) Give a general description and introduction to your organization. Old Mutual was started in Africa in 1845, and rapidly developed into a recognised brand across much of Southern Africa. Over the years our business expanded internationally and in 1999 we listed on the London Stock Exchange. In March 2016, it was decided that the best way forward for the Old Mutual Group was to separate its four strong businesses into independent, standalone companies. The foremost aim of this strategy – called Managed Separation – has been to unlock and create value for shareholders. In short, it became clear that the Group’s complex structure and the high running costs of operating in diverse geographies and regulatory environments actually locked in value. To unlock that value, a Managed Separation of the four underlying businesses – Old Mutual Emerging Markets, Nedbank, UK based Old Mutual Wealth and US based Old Mutual Asset Management – was necessary. As part of that Managed Separation, it was agreed that Old Mutual Emerging Markets (OMEM) would strengthen its focus on Africa and move its primary listing to Africa. As Old Mutual Limited, our primary listing is now on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. We also have a standard listing on the London Stock Exchange and secondary listings on three other stock exchanges in Africa: Namibia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. The growth opportunities in Africa are enormous and exciting – and we are well positioned to make the most of those opportunities, while contributing significantly to the socio-economic progress of the communities we operate in.

  • Insurance Times: MASS. BANKS TRIED HOLDING COMPANY ROUTE BEFORE INSURER LIBERTY MUTUAL December 11, 2001, Vol. XX No. 25 Giant
    Insurance Times: MASS. BANKS TRIED HOLDING COMPANY ROUTE BEFORE INSURER LIBERTY MUTUAL December 11, 2001, Vol. XX No. 25 Giant P/C Insurer Wins Approval to Form MHC by Mark Hollmer InsuranceTimes BOSTON — Eastern Bank was once a small mutual savings bank based in Lynn. But then in 1989, the Massachusetts Division of Banks approved the bank’s application to reorganize as a mutual holding company – the first in the state to do so. Andrew Calamare was Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks at the time. He said the change helped Eastern to become a regional powerhouse. “It has certainly not hurt them,” said Calamare, now president and CEO of the Life Insurance Association of Massachusetts. “Now it is the second largest bank in the … state chartered system,” he said. Liberty Mutual Status Twelve years later, Liberty Mutual has become the state’s first property casualty insurer to win mutual holding company status. Insurance Commissioner Linda Ruthardt approved Liberty Mutual’s mutual holding company application at the end of November, the first mutual insurer to do so under a 1998 state law. The approval allows Liberty mutual to form a holding company that becomes the corporate parent of Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. and sister divisions Liberty Mutual Fire and Liberty Mutual Life. DOI approval to merger Liberty subsidiary Wausau Insurance into the mutual holding company and also reorganize Liberty Mutual Fire within the new system is still pending, however. When all is complete, Liberty Mutual will maintain mutuality but gain the right to offer stock if it chooses. Shareholders can own up to 49 percent of the company, but policyholders will always own at least 51 percent.
