57 (5) and r.

14) regulatIons relatIng to aCtuarIal ValuatIon of lIabIlItIes 1.

The basis of valuation adopted shall be such as to place a proper value upon the liabilities, having regard to the mortality experience among the persons whose lives have been insured by the insurer, to the average rate of interest from investments and to the expenses of management (including commission), and shall be such as to ensure that no policy shall be treated as an asset.

The value placed upon the aggregate liabilities of a statutory fund in respect of policies by reason of the adoption of any basis of valuation shall not be less than it would have been if it had been calculated on the minimum basis in accordance with the provisions of the Seventh Schedule.

The actuary who makes the valuation shall certify whether, in his opinion, the value placed upon the aggregate liabilities of a statutory fund in respect of policies by the valuation is not less than the value which would have been placed upon those aggregate liabilities if it had been calculated on the minimum basis in accordance with the provisions of the Seventh Schedule.

Where the balance sheet of the insurer includes amongst the assets of the long-term insurance business to which a statutory fund relates any sums representing expenses of organisation or extension, or the purchase of business or goodwill or other intangible assets, and the amount of the other assets of that business (after deducting debts due by the insurer in respect of that business) is less than the balance of the revenue accounts, as the case may be, as shown in the balance sheet in respect of that business (a) where the statutory fund relates to one class of long-term insurance business only, the balance of revenue account shall be shown in the appropriate valuation balance sheet as reduced by the amount of the deciency; and (b) where the statutory fund relates to more than one class of long term insurance business, the balances of the revenue accounts in respect of each class of long-term insurance business shall each be shown in the appropriate valuation balance sheet as reduced by a portion of the amount of the deciency, being a portion ascertained by apportioning the amount of the deciency between those revenue accounts so that the amount to be apportioned to each account bears to the amount to be apportioned the same proportion as the balance of that account bears to the sum of the balances of those accounts.

The liability in respect of a policy other than the type of policy referred to in paragraph (4) shall be the difference between the capitalized values as at the valuation date of (a) the reversion in the sum insured, including any reversionary bonuses declared in respect of the policy and still attaching to the CAP210.

2012 [Subsidiary] policy at the valuation date; and (b) the future adjusted net premium, less any reduction of those premiums which may have been granted as a bonus, or obtained by the giving of any valuable consideration according to the contingencies upon which they are respectively payable.

For the purpose of rule 5 adjusted net premiums means the net premium for the policy increased by the difference between the net premium and the net premium that would apply (according to the rate of interest and rates of mortality assumed) if (i) the policy had been issued one year after the actual date of its issue; and (ii) in cases where the premiums are payable for a limited period, the premiums were payable for a period one year less than that limited period; net premium means such premium exclusive of any addition for bonuses, ofce expenses and other charges, as (according to the rate of interest and rates of mortality assumed and the age, at the date of the issue of the policy, of the person whose life is insured) is sufcient to provide for the risk incurred by the company in issuing the policy.

No policy shall be treated as an asset.

In respect of any policy (other than a policy for the whole term of life where the premiums are payable throughout life), on which the maximum number of annual premiums payable is xed and premiums are of uniform amount, the paid-up sum assured, exclusive of bonus additions, shall be the sum CAP250.

487 Insurance [Rev.

2012 [Subsidiary] which bears to the original sum insured the same proportion as the number of complete months premiums which have been paid on the policy bears to the number of months premium originally payable.

In respect of any policy for the whole term of life (where the premiums are payable throughout life), the paid-up sum assured, exclusive of bonus additions, shall be a sum bearing the same proportion to the value of the policy as the sum of one shilling bears to the present value (at the attained age of the person whose life is insured) of the reversion in the sum of one shilling according to the contingency upon which the sum insured under the original policy was payable.

If it is the practice of an insurer to permit paid up policies to participate in prots and if the insurers actuary is of the opinion that the paid-up value arrived at by the application of rule 1 or 2 of this Schedule should be reduced suitably, it may be so done with the approval of the Commissioner of Insurance.

(1) For the purpose of rule 2, the value of the policy shall be the difference between the present values (at the attained age of the person whose life is insured) of (a) the reversion in the sum insured according to the contingency upon which it is payable; and (b) the future net premiums.

(2) Net premium as used in subrule (1) (b) means such premium, exclusive of any addition for bonuses, ofce expenses and other charges, as is sufcient (according to the rate of interest and rates of mortality assumed and on the assumption that the age of the person whose life is insured is the age at his birthday next following the date one year after the date of the issue of the policy) to provide for the risk incurred by the insurer in issuing the policy.

(1) For the purpose of this scheme, the calculations shall be made as at the day immediately preceding that on which the rst premium which has not been paid falls, or fell due.

(2) For the purposes of this rule, any premium which has not been paid in cash and which is deemed to be a debt owing to the insurer shall be deemed to have been paid.

For the purposes of rules 2 and 4 (a) interest shall be assumed at the rate of 3 per centum per annum; (b) the rates of mortality shall be assumed, in the case of an ordinary life policy, according to the ultimate table of mortality included in the tables published for the Institute of Actuaries in England and Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland under the title A 1949-52 Tables for Assured Lives and, in the case of a policy of industrial life Rev.

THIRTEENTH SCHEDULE (s.

25) rules for asCertaInIng the surrender Value of a PolICy 1.

The surrender value of a policy at any date shall be the present value (according to the contingency upon which the policy is payable) of the amount of the paid-up policy which would be granted as at that date, determined according to the rules prescribed in the Twelfth Schedule or the amount payable at death if death were to occur at the date as at which the surrender value is calculated, whichever is the less.

For the purposes of determining the present value of the amount of paid-up policy under rule 1 (a) interest shall be assumed at the rate of 6 per centum per annum for contracts registered in terms of the Income Tax Act and 5 per centum per annum for all other contracts; (b) the rate of mortality shall be assumed, in the case of an ordinary life policy, according to the ultimate table of mortality included in the tables published for the Institute of Actuaries in England and Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland under the title A 1949-52 Tables for Assured Lives and, in the case of a policy of industrial assurance, according to the ultimate table of mortality included in the tables published for the Institute of Actuaries in England and Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland under the short title A 1924-29 Table; and (c) in the case of a policy issued for a term other than the whole term of life, the remaining term at the date as at which the surrender value of the policy is calculated shall be obtained by deducting from the original term of the policy the duration of the policy in completed years and months at that date.
