Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

After the successful completion of the course, students are able to describe the general framework of the pan European Solvency II regime. They can categorize the requirements in the three pillars of the framework and differentiate between their aims. Not only will they be able to search the four levels of the Solvency II regime to answer relating questions, but they also can highlight the required governance structure and break down quantitative aspects of risk assessment. They are able to explain the idea behind the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and to differentiate between the factor and scenario-based approach for calculating risk modules. Furthermore, they are able to illustrate the reasoning of why the SCR is compared to the eligible own funds for calculating the solvency ratio, which is the regulatory key figure under Solvency II.
