FINMA StandRe · SST 2026
How much capital does a reinsurer need?
The Swiss Solvency Test answers it with one number: the capital that carries the balance sheet through the worst 1% of years. This plugin implements StandRe, FINMA’s standard model for reinsurers — five risk components, their aggregation, the one-year risk capital and the market value margin — on top of the reinsurance data model, with no simulation anywhere in the chain.

The five components

StandRe cuts non-life insurance risk along two axes — attritional versus individual events, and prior years versus the current year:

Attritional Individual Nat cat
Prior years (reserve risk) AER IE2
Current year (premium risk) AEP IE1 NE

Prior-year risk is AER + IE2, current-year risk is AEP + IE1 + NE, and the AG component aggregates them into the distribution the capital is read off.

What ships

It reuses the model, it does not copy it

Line of business, region, currency, peril and the yield curves are the existing Reinsurance dimensions, referenced by node path. SST adds no dimension of its own — the StandRe LOB and region taxonomies ship as members of the dimensions the rest of the suite already uses, and the FINMA-prescribed curves ship as ordinary Reinsurance/YieldCurve nodes.

Deterministic, therefore testable

There is no Monte Carlo anywhere: the attritional components are closed-form log-normals, the individual components are compound Poissons by Panjer recursion, and the aggregation is a discrete convolution. Every figure reproduces to the last digit, which is what lets the Tests areas assert on them.
