This session aims at explaining the evolution of the Volatility Adjustment (VA) under the current formula versus the new formula following the SII review and how the deficiencies have been addressed. We also focus on how to manage basis risk coming from the VA as part of the ORSA.

Participants are expected to have some basic knowledge on Solvency II and the Volatility Adjustment (VA).´
