Introduction
This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of GRF 140.4 Investments – Indirectly Held by Insurer and Risk Charge.
Information on this form will be used by APRA to obtain an investment profile of the reporting insurer and to calculate in part the Investment Risk Charge. Specific information in these forms will also be used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for statistical purposes.
For the purposes of completing the respective investment forms, only include investments that are included in the aggregate balance disclosed for the asset item titled “Investments (related to GRF 140 series of forms)” designated as a current and non-current asset on GRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position. Do not include in these investment forms asset items reported in any of the other asset categories in GRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position (e.g. “Other investments”). Otherwise the asset items will be subject to two investment risk charges, one in GRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position and another in the respective investment forms.
Investment Risk Charge
The Investment Risk Charge applicable for an insurer’s (and reinsurer’s) on-balance sheet Investment/Asset exposures is calculated in accordance with GPS 110 Capital Adequacy. The form categorises assets into investment capital factor groupings to calculate the applicable investment risk capital charge for each asset category. The aggregate Investment risk charge calculated is included in the calculation of the insurer’s minimum capital requirement.
The Investment Risk Charge is calculated based on the fair value of assets disclosed.
