Prudential Standard LPS 117
Capital Adequacy: Asset Concentration Risk Charge Objectives and key requirements of this Prudential Standard This Prudential Standard requires a life company to maintain adequate capital against the asset concentration risks associated with its activities. The ultimate responsibility for the prudent management of capital of a life company rests with its board of directors. The board must ensure that the life company maintains an adequate level and quality of capital commensurate with the scale, nature and complexity of its business and risk profile, such that it is able to meet its obligations under a wide range of circumstances. The Asset Concentration Risk Charge is the minimum amount of capital required to be held against asset concentration risks. The Asset Concentration Risk Charge relates to the risk of a life company's concentration in particular assets resulting in adverse movements in the life company's capital base. This Prudential Standard sets out the method for calculating the Asset Concentration Risk Charge. This charge is one of the components of the Standard Method for calculating the prescribed capital amount for life company statutory funds and general funds.
