Creating financial security
We match our liabilities with assets
by finding investments that reflect the longevity of our policyholders
We keep a healthy balance sheet
by reducing volatility of assets and liabilities to protect surplus capital from credit spread changes

We protect our solvency
by monitoring our solvency position every day and avoiding risky assets
