Objective of this reporting standard

This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001 (the Collection of Data Act). It requires general insurers (insurers), including foreign general insurers (foreign insurers) operating in Australia through branch operations, to report to APRA, generally on a quarterly and annual basis, the composition of their investments.

This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of this information to APRA. It should be read in conjunction with:

• Form GRF 140.3 Investments – Loans and Advances and Risk Charge (Form GRF 140.3) and the instructions to that form (which are attached and form part of this reporting standard); and
• any prudential standards referenced in the attached instructions.
