Abstract

Analysis of the structure of capital requirements within life underwriting sub-module of an example endowment product revealed the importance of lapse risk as a major component. Therefore, the initial solvency capital requirements optimization efforts consist in analyzing the possible reduction of capitals that would correspond to this risk. Results of the analysis indicate that standard formula might not be prudent enough in case of products similar to the studied.
