the same definition as in the Swedish Pensions Agency’s Insurance Activities in the Premium Pension System Act (2017:230), unless otherwise specified. In addition, the following definitions apply:

1. deep market: a market where transactions with a large volume of financial
   instruments can occur without significantly impacting the price of the instruments.
2. liquidity risk: the risk that premium pension commitments cannot be met at
   maturity without the cost of obtaining the means of payment increasing considerably,
3. market risk: the risk that the market value of net assets would be negatively
   impacted by a change in the market prices of assets, liabilities and financial contracts,
4. counterparty risk: the risk that a counterparty will not fulfil the obligations in
   lending agreements or other financial contracts,
5. investment guidelines: the general policy document that the Swedish Pensions
   Agency applies as a basis for its investments and the content of which is set out in
   Chapter 5, sections 3–6,

   assets in relation to the nature and duration of the premium pension commitments, FFFS 2022:1 Published on 31 January 2022

FFFS 2022:1
7. monitoring actuary: a person under whose supervision the actuarial investigations
and calculations shall be performed pursuant to Chapter 2, section 4 of the Swedish Pensions Agency’s Insurance Activities in the Premium Pension System Act (2017:230),

transfer to traditional insurance, and
9. transfer: repurchase of premium pension funds in unit-linked insurance or
traditional insurance for transfer of pension rights in the form of premium pension funds to the pension plan that applies to employees in the EU’s central activities.
Chapter 2 Calculation of technical provisions
General provisions
Section 1 When the Swedish Pensions Agency calculates the technical provisions, it
shall use updated and reliable information as well as realistic assumptions. The Swedish Pensions Agency, when performing the calculations, shall

1. use actuarial and statistical methods that are appropriate given the type of
   premium pension commitment and the risks that impact the commitments, and
2. ensure that the data used is appropriate, complete and accurate.
   Estimation of cash flows
   Section 2 When the Swedish Pensions Agency calculates life insurance provisions
   and estimates cash flows, it shall consider incoming and outgoing cash flows that are required to fulfil the premium pension commitments. The estimate shall include as a minimum the following cash flows:
3. future pay-outs to pensions savers and other beneficiaries, and
4. all expenses linked to the premium pension commitments.
   Uncertainty in the cash flows
   Section 3 When the Swedish Pensions Agency calculates life insurance provisions,
   it shall consider uncertainty factors in the cash flows. The Agency shall consider the uncertainty inherent in
5. when the premium pension commitments will fall due,
6. premium pension amounts,
7. pension savers’ behaviour, and
8. other factors.
   If the uncertainty is dependent on two or more factors, the Swedish Pensions Agency shall also consider the dependence between these factors.

FFFS 2022:1
Agreed options and financial guarantees
Section 4 When the Swedish Pensions Agency calculates life insurance provisions,
it shall

1. consider all financial guarantees and agreed options that are included in the
   Agency’s premium pension commitments, and
2. assess the value of an option based on the cost for the Agency if the option is
   utilised and the probability that the option will be utilised.
   Relevant risk-free interest rate structure
   Section 5 When the Swedish Pensions Agency adopts such a relevant risk-free
   interest rate structure as referred to in Chapter 2, section 2 of the Swedish Pensions Agency’s Insurance Activities in the Premium Pension System Act (2017:230), the Agency shall use the information that can be derived from relevant financial instruments. For maturities where such information is missing, the Swedish Pensions Agency shall interpolate and extrapolate risk-free interest term structures. Homogeneous risk groups for pension commitments
   Section 6 When the Swedish Pensions Agency calculates life insurance provisions,
   it shall estimate future cash flows individually for each premium pension commitment. The Swedish Pensions Agency, however, may calculate life insurance provisions collectively using an accepted actuarial method for one or several groups of insurance agreements. This applies if such a method
3. does not introduce any significant differences in the nature and complexity of the
   underlying risks in the insurance agreements in the same group,
4. provides an accurate depiction of the premium pension commitments, and
5. largely generates the same results as if the provision had been calculated with
   individual cash flows, particularly with regard to the financial guarantees and options included in the agreements.
   Chapter 3 Requirement on insight and experience for monitoring
   actuaries
   Monitoring actuary
   Section 1 A monitoring actuary shall meet the requirements set out in sections 2–6
   to be considered to have the insight and experience specified in Chapter 2, section 4 of the Swedish Pensions Agency’s Insurance Activities in the Premium Pension System Act (2017:230). Education

at a Swedish university or university college that includes at least 120 credits in mathematics and mathematical statistics, of which at least 45 credits in each subject.
Section 3 The undergraduate programme referred to in section 2 shall consist of or
be supplemented by completed courses in

1. insurance accounting and insurance law, and
2. life actuarial mathematics and financial mathematics at a level commensurate with
   the actuarial investigations and calculations performed.
   General guidelines
   The undergraduate programme should be supplemented with a master’s degree in actuarial mathematics.
   Section 4 A monitoring actuary, instead of having completed a study programme as
   referred to in sections 2 and 3, may acquire equivalent knowledge by having completed another equivalent course in Sweden or abroad. General guidelines Courses equivalent to those specified in section 3 may be arranged by an actuarial association or an educational organisation. Continued professional development
   Section 5 A monitoring actuary, if necessary, shall undergo further training in order
   to fulfil the requirements on insight and experience.

Appendix 2
Instructions for the supervisory reporting for premium pensions Terms and expressions in in this appendix have the same meaning as in the Annual Accounts at Insurance Undertakings Act (1995:1560) and Finansinspektionen’s regulations and general guidelines (FFFS 2019:23) regarding annual reports at insurance undertakings and institutions for occupational retirement provision, unless otherwise specified. Reporting annual disclosures Information is disclosed in accordance with sections 1–7 below:

1. Income statement
2. Balance sheet
3. Specification of profit and loss
4. Actuarial profit and loss attribution

The amounts may be rounded to the nearest thousand. In the report, expenses are stated as negative figures with a minus sign (including when specifying pure expense items), unless otherwise specified. 1 Income statement Revenue from investment contracts is reported separately, regardless of the item under which they have been recognised in the annual report. In unit-linked insurance business, the return on capital that is attributable to assets on the undertaking’s own account in the non-technical account are reported. However, in traditional life insurance business, returns on capital are reported in the technical account. Specifications of return on capital refer to the total return on capital, i.e. the sum of the return on capital from the insurance business and the financing business. 3 Specification of earnings data Specification of operating expenses

4.6 Change in provisions due to changed specific assumptions
Enter here effects of conversion to new calculation assumptions that are of such a nature they cannot be attributed to mortality, operating expenses, migration, transfer, options, guarantees or return on capital. If the Swedish Pensions Agency has improved its calculation model and makes the assessment that the part of the profit/loss which is due to altering the model would give a distorted view if it were included under the respective assumptions, this part of the profit/loss can instead be entered here. Released charges for safety assumptions are reported here. If the item is used, provide an explanation in the comment field.
4.7 Other unspecified insurance risks
Enter here Items which otherwise affect the profit/loss for insurance risks. If the item is used, provide an explanation in the comment field.

If the item is used, provide an explanation in the comment field.
4.15 Unattributed amount
An unattributed amount is calculated for each class of insurance in such a way that the total for the partial profit/loss is equivalent to the item 4.16.
4.16 Partial profit/loss, by class of insurance
The partial profit/loss for each class of insurance is calculated as the sum of – the technical profit/loss according to the annual report's profit/loss analysis, less – the insurance class’s part of the item in the annual report Return on capital transferred to the financing business.
4.17 Profit/loss for the year in accordance with the annual report
The information corresponds to profit/loss for the year in the income statement. Analysis of mortality assumptions Enter here a comparison between the mortality assumptions in the technical provisions and actual outcome. The figure refers to the sum of the total data, broken down into the insurance classes traditional life insurance and unit-linked insurance.

5.13 Closing technical provision
Closing technical provisions correspond to balance sheet items 2.10 and 2.11 according to section 2. 6 Analysis of bonus calculations Introduction This section intends to analyse applied parameters to the bonus plan (second order level) during the financial year for traditional life insurance, where any surplus or deficit is calculated and distributed among individual insurance policies in the form of forecasts of retrospective reserves (pension capital). The result can vary from year to year, and it is necessary to look at several years in order to determine whether the assumptions are reasonable.
6.1 Description of sub-portfolio
In cases where the Swedish Pensions Agency applies different rules and conditions for handling, for example, consolidation of investments (in light of, e.g., different guaranteed interest rates) or other parts of the business (e.g., different mortality assumptions) that affect the profit/loss and surpluses, the report is broken down into sub-portfolios A, B, and C. If there are no conditions for a breakdown into sub-portfolios, only the sub-portfolio A is reported. The sub-portfolios are reported in decreasing order after the size of the retrospective reserve. The Swedish Pensions Agency may determine how to appropriately delineate the sub-portfolios in its reporting based on the focus of the business, but it shall describe in brief how the delineation was made and what characterises the different portfolios under 6.1. The delineation that the agency chooses should be maintained in the reporting for several years going forward. Other information Please note that the section does not have any direct link to formal and public accounts, unlike other accounting in these instructions – including the description according to section 4 – even though some actual values can be obtained from this
section (see more below).
In this section, the assumptions applied when forecasting the retrospective reserves for long-term insurance business are balanced against the Swedish Pensions Agency’s actual outcome for return on capital, mortality and operating expenses. Differences are then calculated. One positive difference is that the Swedish Pensions Agency for a number of reasons has compensated for, alternately covered life mortality, the outcome more than what is required. One negative difference is that the retrospective reserve has not been sufficiently corrected. Because the section focuses on the changes to the retrospective, this means that the signs for the values are inverse compared to section 4. Each negative value the Swedish Pensions Agency reports in the section is stated with a minus sign. No sign is used when reporting positive values.

FFFS 2022:1
For all divergences from the instructions for this section, an explanation shall be provided. Where it is difficult to produce accurate data, it may be sufficient to perform average value calculations during the year in an appropriate way. Other types of estimates may also be necessary at times. Differences: Comparisons between impact on the retrospective reserve and actual values Information that impacts the retrospective reserve is reported under items 6.2–6.19. Calculated differences refer to all impact during the year, even for insurance policies that were started or terminated during the year. Return on capital In this report, the actual return on capital has a negative value, while the change in the retrospective reserve has a positive value. Even when there is a negative actual return on capital and a negative change in retrospective, this is taken into account when the value is reported.
6.2 Return on capital, net
This item includes unrealised profit or loss on investment assets and increases and decreases in the value of investment assets for which the life insurance policyholder bears the investment risk. Enter this item less operating expenses for asset and property management. Interest on the return is excluded.
6.3 Return on capital allocated to retrospective reserve
The item refers to gross return, in other words return on capital before deductions for tax on returns and operating expense fees. Enter it as a positive value provided that the return is positive. Life mortality Enter here the actual inheritance gains on the retrospective reserve as a positive value and enter the capital at risk that is released as a negative value.
6.5 and 6.8 Inheritance gain on the retrospective reserve
The amount is reported as a positive value.
6.6 and 6.9 Capital at risk actual deaths (second order level)
The amount is reported as a negative value.
Operating expenses
Enter here the actual fees withdrawn from the retrospective reserve as a negative value, and the actual operating expenses in each business are normally reported as a positive value. The data are taken from section 4, are reported here with the opposite sign.
6.14 Actual administrative expenses
The actual operating expenses as per the annual report are reported here. The item is reported as a positive value.

FFFS 2022:1
6.15 Reversed fund management fee
Enter here remuneration from fund managers which is an income the Swedish Pensions Agency in the context of operating expenses. The item is reported as a negative value.
6.16 Difference operating expenses (sum of items 6.12, 6.14 and 6.15)
Enter here the fees charged with the actual net operating expenses the Swedish Pensions Agency has had. A positive difference means that the fees charged do not cover the actual operating expenses. Some other data
6.17 Allocation or reallocation
Enter here the amount that has momentarily changed the retrospective reserve positively or negatively during the year depending on the economic outcome of the business and that is based on a specific decision by the undertaking on the basis of policy documents in respect of the Swedish Pensions Agency’s consolidation level.
6.18 Changes in deficit over the year that apply to technical surrender values
TSV refers to technical surrender values.
An increase in the deficit is reported as a positive value, while a reduction is reported as a negative value. If there is no deficit, the value is reported as zero.
6.19 Changes in deficit over the year that apply to VP
VP refers to disbursement reserves for valid periodic amounts, including supplementary amounts due to bonuses. An increase in the deficit is reported as a positive value, while a reduction is reported as a negative value. If there is no deficit, the value is reported as zero. Consolidation of deficits, technical surrender values, disbursement reserves and retrospective reserves
6.20 Closing deficit in the retrospective reserve that applies to technical
surrender values
If the retrospective reserve is less than the technical surrender amount, the difference between the larger and the smaller value is reported as a deficit. Such a deficit shall only be reported for insurance policies that are being paid.
6.21 Closing deficit in the retrospective reserve that applies to VP
Enter here amounts subject to a payment period. The higher of the two specified variables (max. functions) indicates a positive value for a deficit; otherwise, the value is given as zero. Consolidation Enter here the consolidation level for traditional life insurance. Consolidation level means the ratio between the market value of the assets and the allocated benefit values. Allocated benefit values is the sum of guaranteed obligations and allocated (preliminarily distributed) bonuses.
6.26 Closing distributed asset values, max (retrospective reserve, TSV, VP, 0)
Enter here the largest amount of the retrospective reserve, TSV, VP and 0.

FFFS 2022:1
6.27 Consolidation level (100item 6.25/item 6.26 with one decimal point)
Calculated as one hundred times the ratio between the item 6.25 Closing distributable asset values and item 6.26 Closing distributed asset values. Enter profit/loss with one decimal point. 7 Equity ratio information This includes data on the equity ratio and refers only to traditional life insurance. Enter percentages with one decimal point.

Enter here the percentage of the life insurance provisions that the Swedish Pensions Agency has calculated based on its rules on surplus targets.
7.2 Longevity risk
Enter here the partial profit/loss in the calculated surplus target for the risk associated with assumptions of mortality.
7.3 Interest rate risk
Enter here the partial profit/loss in the calculated surplus target for the risk associated with assumptions of the discount rate.
7.4 Asset risk
Enter here the partial profit/loss in the calculated surplus target for the risk associated with the market value of the assets.
7.7 Actual surplus (100(item 7.6–item 7.5)/item 7.5)
Actual surplus is calculated as the difference between the market value of the assets and the life insurance provision, expressed as a percentage of the life insurance provision.
