In our capacity as an insurance broker, we collect premiums from insureds and, after deducting our commissions and/or fees, remit these premiums to underwriting enterprises. We hold unremitted insurance premiums in a fiduciary capacity until we disburse them, and the use of such funds is restricted by laws in certain states and foreign jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. Various state and foreign agencies regulate insurance brokers and provide specific requirements that limit the type of investments that may be made with such funds. Accordingly, we invest these funds in cash and U.S. Treasury fund accounts. We can earn interest income on these unremitted funds, which is included in investment income in the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings. These unremitted amounts are reported as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, with the related liability reported as premiums payable to underwriting enterprises. Additionally, several of our foreign subsidiaries are required by various foreign agencies to meet certain liquidity and solvency requirements. We were in compliance with these requirements at December 31, 2020.

Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company continues to review the other-than-temporarily impaired securities for additional other-than-temporary impairments. As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) voted to delay the implementation of the impairment measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF Issue No. 03-1”), in order to redeliberate certain aspects of the consensus. The ultimate completion of EITF Issue No. 03-1 may impact the Company’s current other-than-temporary impairment evaluation process.

These initiatives are implemented over a period of several years and the estimate of the reorganisation provisions is inherently uncertain. The provision at the balance sheet date represents the best estimate of the expected redundancy costs and are expected to be sufficient to cover these costs.

Reporting requirements PRA rules require insurance companies to submit annually their audited annual accounts, statements of financial position and life insurers’ annual reports from the actuary performing the actuarial function with the regulator. There is also a requirement to report the annual solvency position of the insurance company’s ultimate parent. The PRA uses the annual return to monitor the solvency (i.e. the ability to meet current and future obligations such as claims payments to policyholders) of the insurance company. For general insurance business, the return is also used to assess retrospectively the adequacy of the company’s claims provisions. The directors of an insurance company are required to sign a certificate, which includes a statement as to whether they have complied in all material respects with the requirements of Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls (SYSC), Principles for Businesses (PRIN), Interim Prudential Sourcebook for Insurers (IPRU (INS)), General Prudential Sourcebook (GENPRU) and Prudential Sourcebook for Insurers (INSPRU). The directors must also certify that the company has completed its return to the PRA properly in accordance with the PRA’s instructions, and that the directors are satisfied that the company has complied in all material respects with the requirements set out in the PRA rules.

Accounts receivable represent uncollected premiums related to coverage periods prior to the balance sheet date, and are stated at the estimated collectible amounts, net of an allowance for bad debts. The Company continuously monitors the timing and amount of its premium collections, and maintains a reserve for estimated bad debt losses. The amount of the reserve is based primarily on the Company's historical experience and any customer-specific collection issues that are identified. The Company believes its reserve for bad debt losses is adequate as of December 31, 2002. However, there can be no assurance that the bad debt losses ultimately incurred will not exceed the reserve for bad debts established by the Company.

The income tax benefit recognized in 2009 of $16.1 million primarily represents the reduction of the valuation allowance applied to the deferred tax assets as a result of the growth in unrealized gains. In the fourth quarter of 2009, changes in the tax law allowed net operating losses to be carried back five years as opposed to two years, thereby allowing the recoupment of additional taxes. Going forward, we expect to continue to incur operating losses for tax purposes and generate net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes for which we will effectively be unable to receive any immediate benefit in our Statements of Operations.

Risk management is not only embedded in Zurich’s business but is also aligned with the Group’s strategic and operational planning process. The Group assesses risks systematically and from a strategic perspective through its proprietary Total Risk Profiling™ (TRP) process, which allows Zurich to identify and then evaluate the probability of a risk scenario occurring, as well as the severity of the consequences should it occur. The Group then develops, implements and monitors appropriate improvement actions. The TRP process is integral to how Zurich deals with change, and is particularly suited for evaluating strategic risks as well as risks to Zurich’s reputation. At Group level this process is performed annually, reviewed regularly and tied to the planning process.

Marine: Generally, two key assumptions are used by our actuaries in setting IBNR loss reserves for major products in this line of business. The first assumption is that our historical experience regarding paid and reported losses for each product where we have sufficient history can be relied on to predict future loss activity. The second assumption is that our underwriters’ assessments as to potential loss exposures are reliable indicators of the level of our expected loss activity. The specific loss reserves for marine are then analyzed separately by product based on such assumptions, except where noted below, with the major products including marine liability, cargo, P&I, transport and bluewater hull.

Income from continuing operations increased by $300 million, or 53%, to $867 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $567 million for the comparable 2003 period. Included in this increase is an improvement in net investment gains (losses) of $242 million, net of income taxes. This increase includes additional fee income of $154 million, net of income taxes, primarily related to separate account products. In addition, improvement in interest rate spreads contributed $77 million, net of income taxes, to the year over year increase. These spreads are generally the percentage point difference between the yield earned on invested assets and the interest rate the Company uses to credit on certain liabilities. Therefore, given a constant value of assets and liabilities, an increase in interest rate spreads would result in higher income to the Company. Interest rate spreads include income from certain investment transactions, including corporate joint venture income and bond and commercial mortgage prepayment fees, the timing and amount of which are generally unpredictable. As a result, income from these investment transactions may fluctuate from year to year. These types of investment transactions contributed $38 million, net of income taxes, to the improvement in interest rate spreads. Additionally, the charge of $31 million, net of income taxes, in 2003 related to certain improperly deferred expenses at New England Financial, and a reduction in policyholder dividends of $39 million, net of income taxes, in 2004 contributed to the increase in income from continuing operations. These increases in income from continuing operations are partially offset by a reduction in earnings of $78 million, net of income taxes, resulting from an increase in the closed block-related policyholder dividend obligation, associated primarily with an improvement in net investment gains (losses). Higher DAC amortization of $74 million, net of income taxes, also increased expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004. Additionally, offsetting these increases are lower net investment income on traditional life and income

Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) ING Bank has an Operational Risk Capital model in place in which the risk profile is closely tailored to the internal risk profile of ING Bank and its divisions, by using scenario data for capturing severe risks and internal loss and RCSA data for capturing day-to-day risks. The business has a strong role in assessing scenario severities and the ORM function in validating the results. The internal data are combined with external loss data (ORX) in the AMA capital calculation. In April 2013 ING Bank obtained accreditation for use of its enhanced AMA model for regulatory supervision purposes. ING Bank reports the regulatory capital numbers on a quarterly basis. The AMA capital for the fourth quarter of 2015 amounts to EUR 3,451 million. For the fourth quarter of 2014 the AMA capital amounted to EUR 2,700 million. The increase reflects higher operational RWA mainly caused by a model recalibration (EUR 277 million) and the increased impact of external loss data (EUR 317 million).

Our primary life products continues to be reinsurance of ordinary life insurance, primarily for mortality risk. Profitability of our life reinsurance line depends in large part on the volume and amount of death claims incurred. While death claims are reasonably predictable over a long time horizon, they are less predictable over shorter periods and are subject to fluctuation from quarter to quarter and year to year. Significant fluctuations from period to period could adversely affect the results of our operations, as occurred in 2002. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the total face amount of our life insurance in force amounted to approximately $117.5 billion and $117.4 billion, respectively. At March 31, 2003, we estimate our life reinsurance in force to be approximately $72 billion, reflecting the novations, terminations and recaptures of certain of our reinsurance agreements that had occurred since December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had retroceded approximately $1.26 billion and $493 million of our obligations under our life reinsurance contracts to other reinsurers, respectively, or 1.07% and 0.42% of our life insurance in force, respectively.

The closed block supports the continuation of policyholder dividend scales in effect for 1999, assuming continuation of the experience underlying those dividend scales.

Moreover, our Plan of Reorganization contemplates that the fair value of corporate purpose assets is included in the calculation of consideration payable to our participating individual life insurance policyholders upon our demutualization. As a result, our participating individual life policyholders are not expected to be impacted unfavorably by the transfer of the corporate purpose assets.

When considering our liquidity, it is important to note that we hold cash in a fiduciary capacity as a result of premiums received from clients that have not yet been paid to insurance carriers. The fiduciary cash is recorded as an asset on our balance sheet with a corresponding liability, net of commissions, to insurance carriers. We earn interest on these funds during the time between receipt of the cash and payment to insurance carriers. In some states, fiduciary cash must be kept in separate bank accounts subject to specific guidelines, which generally emphasize capital preservation and liquidity, and is not available to service debt or for other corporate purposes. Insurance brokerage transactions typically generate large cash flows, and the timing of such cash flows can significantly affect the net cash balances held at month end. Additionally, the seasonality of some of our businesses, particularly in the Specialized Benefits Services segment, can create period-to-period fluctuations in our cash flows.

Additionally, at December 31, 2004, 70.8% of our fixed maturity securities were invested in corporations backed by the implied full faith and credit of the U.S. government, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies, including U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. All of these securities are backed by or bear the implied full faith and credit of the U.S. government. We evaluate the carrying value of our fixed maturity and equity securities at least quarterly. A decline in the fair value of any fixed maturity or equity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in the fair value of the fixed maturity or equity security. With the exception of SPLIC, virtually all subsidiaries’ investments are in corporate bonds that carry the implied full faith and credit of the U.S. government, Treasuries or agencies of the U.S. government. SPLIC has significant investments in corporate and municipality bonds. Based upon our emphasis on investing in fixed maturity securities primarily composed of obligations of U.S. government sponsored corporation, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of the U.S. government and agencies, including U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and callable instruments issued by U.S. government agencies and our analysis whether declines in fair value below cost are temporary or other than temporary, management believes that our investments in fixed maturity and equity securities at December 31, 2004 are not impaired, and no “other than temporary losses” need to be recorded.
