*Reversing Course Again: On April 3, 2020, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) - the European Union’s financial regulatory body which replaced the Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors (CEIOPS) – in the context of the corona virus, released a statement urging insurers to “temporarily suspend all discretionary dividend distributions and share buybacks aimed at remunerating shareholders” in order to preserve capital. In an odd reversal of course, EIOPA has updated its commentary surrounding European insurance capital management; and  *Asia-Pacific Insurers Still At Risk: Asia-Pacific insurance counterparts previously acted in capital solidarity with their Western peer during COVID-19. Many Asia-Pacific insurers purchased USD-denominated assets in their desperate search for yield in this low/negative rate environment where the impact of credit default and ratings agency downgrades on their investment portfolios is likely to continue to be outsized and challenge capital their ratios. We are hopeful that the Asia-Pacific insurers - particularly in Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and South Korea – don’t behave as desperately as their European counterparts have.

All investments involve some degree of risk. In finance, risk refers to the degree of uncertainty and/or potential financial loss inherent in an investment decision. When making decisions we evaluate a variety of risks, business, economic, volatility, etc. Among them, regulatory risk is one of the most difficult ones to always get a grip on, across countries. Regulatory risks which many a times comes out of sharp changes in Government policy, are often unforeseen or least expected. Such risks often include seemingly and irrationally high unexpected doses of taxation, investors are caught blindsided, wondering how they could have missed handicapping such an event when building their investment case.The outcome of such actions often precipitates a violent reaction in the stock price of companies directly impacted, giving investors no time to respond or react when the first stab of price action happens. These are the proverbial bolts from the blue, that knock the stuffing out of stock prices for quite some time before some recover their pose, while many don’t for years. As markets enter phases of rising volatility, the risks of stock taking knocks from unexpected actions rise and we have seen quite a few this year. Our piece this month is inspired by some of these.
