Abstract: For some time now, Solvency II requires that insurance companies calculate minimum capital requirements to face the risk of insolvency, either in accordance with the Standard Formula or using a full or partial Internal Model. An Internal Model must be based on a market-consistent valuation of assets and liabilities at a 1-year time span, where a real-world probabilistic structure is used for the first year of projection. In this paper, we describe the major risks of a non-life insurance company, i.e. the non-life underwriting risk and market risk, and their interactions, focusing on the non-life premium risk, equity risk, and interest rate risk. This analysis is made using some well-known stochastic models in the financial-actuarial literature and practical insurance business, i.e. the Collective Risk Model for non-life premium risk, the Geometric Brownian Motion for equity risk, and a real-world version of the G2++ Model for interest rate risk, where parameters are calibrated on current and real market data. Finally, we illustrate a case study on a single-line and a multi-line insurance company in order to see how the risk drivers behave in both a stand-alone and an aggregate framework.
