NAIC Quarterly Guidance Updates
To keep insurers updated on the latest regulatory guidance changes regarding investment accounting and reporting, Clearwater delivered several enhancements to NAIC reporting that allow our clients to have more accurate and timely reporting for NAIC regulatory guidance.
- NAIC Designation Category Updates. In this release, NAIC Designations were replaced with NAIC Designation Categories (NAIC Designations with Modifier) to align with the increase of NAIC designations.
- Schedule D and Schedule DB Updates. With updates to Schedule D parts 1 through 5 and the Schedule DB for derivatives, Clearwater enhanced our offering for logic-driven, in-depth reporting that aligns to our clients’ specific data fields, delivering greater accuracy.
- Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Reports. With risk-based capital reports, Clearwater has updated the book adjusted carrying value for mortgage loans. This update provides greater accuracy in reports that are in line with RBC reports and NAIC designations.
New Enhancements for Solvency II Reports
Given that insurers have a year to prepare for new Solvency II reporting requirements, Clearwater has created new tooling that allows clients to override input values to their desired values for SCR calculations.
Introduction of Hybrid/Blended Benchmarks Methodology
To meet specific benchmark needs that require a combination of data sources, hybrid benchmarks were introduced so that our clients can combine two or more indexes on a percentage basis, allowing for more in-depth and accurate reporting and analysis.
New Price Type of “Universal Close” for Listed Derivatives
Clearwater further enhanced the scope of its pricing offering to include more accurate Listed Derivatives pricing evaluations.
Updated Calculation for Clearwater LPx
Clearwater updated its Net Asset Value (NAV) calculation rules for limited partnerships to bring Clearwater’s NAV calculation rules into conformity with those articulated in the Institutional Limited Partnership Association’s Principles, Practices & Policy model.
New Cash Flow and Yield Analysis Reports
The new “Cash Flow and Yield Analysis” reports are lot level reports that include key data points to provide users with greater insight into amortization calculations and inputs. The reports include such data as cash flow source and cash flow effective date, amortization adjustment dates, interest recognition guidance, and future looking cash flows projections summarized at the lot level.
