Information
Summary of key updates by section
Changes effective Q1 2024:
- Removal of the Unstructured template filing requirement
- Removal of the embedded formulas from the return template
- Addition of Penalties for Late Filings
Instructions
All federally regulated insurance companies (insurer) are required to complete a Key Metrics Report (KMR). The KMR form is to be submitted to OSFI at least annually and within 30 days of the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) report being reviewed by the insurer's Board of Directors or signed off by its Chief Agent. The following instructions are provided to assist in completing the KMR:
| Structured Return (OP) |
A structured return (OP) will be made available within your RRS Draft Returns folder on a yearly basis. Insurers will have two filing options:
Insurers who wish to include an alternative presentation should do so by submitting an additional schedule to their OSFI Lead Supervisor in addition to the RRS KMR (OP) structured filing. |
|---|---|
| Penalties for Late Filing | The KMR must be received electronically on or before the applicable due date. There are penalties for late filing. Please refer to the Administrative Procedures for the Late and Erroneous Filing Penalty (LEFP) Framework for more information. |
| Column 02 | Instructions |
|---|---|
| General |
The amounts reported as "Regulatory Capital (Margin)" should be those calculated per the MCT / MICAT. |
|
Line 05: MCT / MICAT Minimum |
The amount reported represents the insurer's regulatory MCT / MICAT "Minimum capital (margin) required". Refer to the MCT / MICAT guideline for the detailed calculation approach. |
| Columns 03 & 05 | Instructions |
|---|---|
| For all applicable Lines | The amounts reported represent the percentages of the amount of each applicable line in relation to the amount reported as regulatory capital (margin) on line 05 (A). |
| Column 04 | Instructions |
|---|---|
| General |
The risk categories (e.g. Insurance, Market, Credit, Operational, Other) and amounts reported as an insurer's "ORSA Capital (Margin)" should reflect those determined as part of the insurer's ORSA process. An insurer's allocation of the various components calculations of its Own Capital (Margin) Needs should be consistent with the components of MCT / MICAT "Minimum capital (margin) required" with explanations and details provided. |
|
Lines 06 – 17: Other ORSA Risks (write in) |
Describe and include amounts for other risks not explicitly specified in the MCT / MICAT guideline (e.g. concentration risk) but assessed as part of the ORSA. (These should therefore not be included in any lines under Column 02 vis-à-vis Regulatory Capital (Margin)). |
|
Line 18: ORSA Adjustments – Other |
Include amounts for elements that relate to an adjustment to a number of own risks or to a specific own risk not identified /included on a particular line (e.g. model risk, data quality/quantity or for management tolerances, if not quantified elsewhere). |
|
Line 19: Adjustments – Aggregation / Diversification |
Include amounts for between-risk diversification benefits (i.e. within-risk diversification should be reflected on that individual risk line), net of any dependencies creating, in aggregate, capital (margin) needs that are greater than the sum of the individual risk assessments. |
|
Line 20: ORSA Adjustments - Extremely Severe Scenarios |
May be necessary when sophisticated scenario testing tools uncover dependencies between risks that had not been measured by individual risk assessment, or when it is determined that some plausible but extremely severe scenarios, in aggregate, amount to capital (margin) needs greater than the sum of the individual risk assessments. |
|
Line 21: ORSA Own Capital (Margin) Needs |
The amount reported reflects the insurer's assessment of "Own Capital (Margin) Needs" for all risks. |
| Line 22: ORSA Adjustments – Other | Once an insurer has determined "Own Capital (Margin) Needs" (i.e.: line 21 above), other adjustments may be required to account for external or third party margin expectations, notably OSFI expectations including that the "Internal Target" (line 24) should not be less than the MCT / MICAT Supervisory "Target capital (margin) required". Adjustments applied in line 22 must be positive. |
|
Line 23: ORSA Adjustments – Varying Nature & Severity Scenarios |
In addition to the "Adjustments – Other" (i.e. line 22 above), an insurer may include additional adjustments based on scenarios of varying nature and severity to assess the adequacy of the margin between the amount of its "Own Capital (Margin) Needs" and external expectations (e.g. OSFI's Supervisory Target). Adjustments applied in line 23 must be positive. |
|
Line 24: Internal Target |
The amount reported should be the same as the Internal Target identified in the insurer's Capital Management Policy and disclosed to OSFI. This amount should not be less than OSFI's Supervisory Target. As outlined in Guideline A-4: Regulatory Capital and Internal Targets, the Internal Target should be determined through the ORSA process. |
| Column 06 and Reconciliation of Capital Resources (Net Assets Available) | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Column 06 - Methodology and References | Should identify the methods used in the ORSA process and include references to the sections of the ORSA report that provide a description of how the risk or element was quantified. |
| Reconciliation of Capital Resources (Net Assets Available) | If regulatory "Capital Resources (Net Assets Available)" differs from that used for ORSA purposes (e.g. foreign branch's non-vested assets), insurers should provide details on any "ORSA Capital resources (Net Assets Available)" reconciling items. |
The following should be documented and included within the ORSA report or supporting materials:
A summary calculation and explanation of the between-risks aggregation /diversification adjustment methodology and results (line 19) should be documented and included within the ORSA report or supporting materials.
To determine if the Internal Target is above OSFI's Supervisory Target, compare the dollar ($) amount of the:
- "Internal Target" (column 04 line 24) to
- "Target capital (margin) required (column 02 line 21).
