(9) When the amount of the mathematical reserves referred to in subsection (2)(a), or the amount of the capital at risk referred to in subsection (3)(a), is to be calculated for the purposes of determining the required margin of solvency, the day as on which that amount is calculated shall be the same as that as on which the margin of solvency is determined; and the mathematical reserves referred to in subsection (8) shall also be calculated as on that day when the capital at risk in question is that referred to in subsection (3)(a), but shall be calculated as at the end of the last preceding financial year when the capital at risk in question is that referred to in subsection (3)(b). (Enacted 1995) Cap 41F s 5 Long term class C (1) For long term business of class C, the required margin of solvency shall be determined in accordance with subsections (2) to (5). (2) In so far as an insurer bears an investment risk, the first calculation shall be applied. (3) In so far as- (a) an insurer bears no investment risk; (b) the total expired and unexpired term of the relevant contract exceeds 5 years; and (c) the allocation to cover management expenses in the relevant contract has a fixed upper limit which is effective as a limit for a period exceeding 5 years,the first calculation shall be applied, but as if section 4(2)(a) contained a reference to 1% instead of 4%. (4) If neither subsection (2) nor (3) applies, then, subject to subsection (5), the required margin of solvency is zero. (5) Where an insurer covers a death risk, a sum arrived at by applying the second calculation (section 4(5) and (6) being disregarded) shall be added to any required margin of solvency, including a required margin of solvency of zero, arrived at under subsection (2), (3) or (4).
