Qualitative analysis of change in solvency ratio

The results above represent a comparison of the December 31st, 2023 and January 1st, 2023 solvency for the Branch. Note the Branch was established on January 1st, 2023. Through 2023 the Branch issued additional new business and withdrew excess assets which caused a strain on solvency. Offsetting this was a reduction in required margin due to a methodology update related to Mortality Level risk. The ratio remains strong relative to the branch’s long- term internal target.
