ACME: Solvency II

The case focuses on the conversations of this insurance company's management team regarding the impact of the forthcoming implementation of the prudential regulation known as Solvency II, applicable to this type of company.

The executives discuss how the new regulation will affect management of the company, investment and subscription policies, the branches in which it will remain active or otherwise, the pros and cons of the rule, whether there will be concentration processes etc. The case reflects the misgivings towards Solvency II within the industry.
