Life insurance companies are increasingly focused on optimizing their capital requirements


In today’s world, Life insurers are facing complex capital management and / or reporting challenges. 
In addition to global headwinds for the insurance industry caused by macroeconomic conditions and tough competition for business growth, regulatory (i.e. Solvency II) and accounting changes (i.e. IFRS 17 and Principle-Based Reserving (PBR)) are putting additional pressure on our clients to find the optimal spot within the so called “Magic Triangle”.
