A. Insurance risks
The Company and its subsidiaries management strategy is reviewing the assumptions made in determining our policy liabilities periodically and the review may result in an increase in policy liabilities and a decrease in net income attributable to shareholders. Such assumptions require significant professional judgement, so actual experience may be materially different than the assumptions we make.
B. Financial Risk
1. Credit risks
The Company and its subsidiaries considers the deposit component (cash surrender) when reviewing the policy loan applications with the maximum 80% from its cash surrender. Therefore the maximum exposures for this policy loan is nil due to guaranteed by the related cash surrender owned by the policyholders. There is no concentration of credit risk as the Company and its subsidiaries has a large number of policyholders without any significant individual policyholders.
2. Market risk
In order to limit the impact of any of these financial market changes, the Company and its subsidiaries applied a monitoring system which is based on a variety of different risk measures including sensitivities, asset durations as well as the benchmark portfolio approved by the Board of Directors.
i. Foreign exchange risk
The Company and its subsidiaries risk management strategy to minimize the impact of possible risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rate is by balancing value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in order to avoid the risk of loss from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
ii. Interest rate risk
The Company and its subsidiaries risk management strategy to minimize the interest rate risk is to align the interest rate assumption used in calculating the liabilities by adopting investment strategies to achieve the interest rate that is expected in accordance with the investment product profiles and portofolios. This strategy is carried out regularly and adopted using the prudent principles. The Company and its subsidiaries have no floating rate instrument exposing it to cash flow interest risk.
iii. Price Risk
To manage its price risk arising from investments in securities, the Group diversifies its portofolio. Diversification of the portofolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company and its subsidiaries.
C. Liquidity risk
The Company and its subsidiaries risk management strategy to minimize liquidity risk is by implementing procedures for asset and liability in full, in which the Company and its subsidiaries estimates the benefits that will be due and how the assets are allocated to the payment of these benefits (matching concept), both from the number of funds and time frames. The Company and its subsidiaries also consider the systematic risk that can disrupt the stability of the financial system from the Company and its subsidiaries.
