The income from technical interest is the amount earned by assumed insurance<br />

business from the mainly risk­free investment of the premium income.<br />

Its composition varies from segment to segment, depending on the type of<br />

insurance business conducted and the related statutory regulations. In the<br />

property­casualty segment, it corresponds both in reinsurance and primary<br />

insurance to the risk­free interest on our technical provisions, as derived from<br />

our replication portfolio. In the case of discounted provisions (personal accident<br />

insurance with premium refund, workers’ compensation insurance), it<br />

corresponds to the regular unwinding of the discount.<br />

For the life and health segment in reinsurance, the interest on the provisions<br />

is based mainly on contractual agreements (in Germany, for example, at least<br />

the guaranteed interest rate).<br />

In primary insurance, the income from technical interest in the life segment<br />

corresponds to the policyholders’ participation in investments and the other<br />

non­technical result components in the form of guaranteed interest and profit<br />

sharing (provision for current and deferred premium refunds), plus net unrealised<br />

gains from unit­linked life insurance. In the health segment, the income<br />

from technical interest corresponds to the allocation of interest to the ageing<br />

reserve (actuarial interest) and the allocation to the provision for current and<br />

deferred premium refunds, which is based on the investment result exceeding<br />

the actuarial interest and on policyholders’ participation in the other nontechnical<br />

result components.
