C1 - Capital performance

(a)  Capital required to write life new business, internal rate of return and payback period

The Group generates a significant amount of capital each year which supports both shareholder distribution and reinvestment in new business. The new business written requires up front capital investment, due to set-up costs and capital requirements.

      The internal rate of return (IRR) is a measure of the shareholder return expected on this capital investment. It is equivalent to the discount rate at which the present value of the post-tax cash flows expected to be earned over the life time of the business written, including allowance for the time value of options and guarantees, is equal to the total invested capital to support the writing of the business. The capital included in the calculation of the IRR is the initial capital required to pay acquisition costs and set up statutory reserves in excess of premiums received ('initial capital'), plus required capital at the same level as for the calculation of the value of new business.

      The payback period shows how quickly shareholders can expect the total capital to be repaid. The payback period has been calculated based on undiscounted cash flows and allows for the initial and required capital.

      The projected investment returns in both the IRR and payback period calculations assume that equities, properties and bonds

earn a return in excess of risk-free, consistent with the long-term rate of return assumed in operating earnings.

      The internal rates of return on new business written during the period are set out below:

1    'Corporate' and 'other Business' includes centrally held tangible net assets, the main UK staff pension scheme surplus and also reflects internal lending arrangements. These internal lending arrangements, which net out on consolidation, include the formal loan arrangement between Aviva Group Holdings Limited and Aviva Insurance Limited (AIL). Internal capital management in place allocated a majority of the total capital of AIL to the UK general insurance operations with the remaining capital deemed to be supporting residual (non-operational) Pillar II ICA risks.

2                      The definition of tangible capital employed has been adjusted in 2014 to deduct only goodwill from "tangible capital". Goodwill includes £1,302 million (FY13: £1,480 million including £4 million within assets held for sale) of goodwill in subsidiaries and £25 million (FY13: £30 million) of goodwill in joint ventures. AVIF and other intangibles are maintained within the capital base. As at FY14, AVIF and other intangibles comprise £1,028 million (FY13: £1,068 million) of intangibles in subsidiaries and £62 million (FY13: £30 million) of intangibles in joint ventures, net of deferred tax liabilities of £(180) million (FY13: £(189) million) and the non-controlling interest share of intangibles of £(198) million (FY13: £(215) million). Under MCEV, Goodwill has been further impaired by £99 million (FY13: £105 million) which has been reflected in the additional value of in-force long-term business in the MCEV balance sheet.

3    Total debt comprises direct capital instruments and fixed rate tier 1 notes, Aviva Plc preference share capital and core structural borrowings.  In addition preference share capital of GA plc of £250 million within non-controlling interests has been included.

4    In preparing the MCEV information, the directors have done so in accordance with the European Insurance CFO Forum MCEV Principles with the exception of stating held for sale operation at their expected fair value, as represented by expected sale proceeds, less cost to sell.

 

Total capital employed is financed by a combination of equity shareholders' funds, preference capital, subordinated debt and borrowings. At FY14 the Group had £17.6 billion (FY13: £16.1 billion) of total capital employed in our trading operations measured on an IFRS basis and £23.7 billion (FY13: £22.6 billion) of total capital employed on an MCEV basis.

      In April 2014 the Group redeemed £200 million and €50 million of Lower Tier 2 subordinated debt at their first call dates. In July 2014 the Group issued €700 million of Lower Tier 2 subordinated debt callable in 2024. This was used to repay a €700 million direct capital instrument at its first call date, in November 2014.  On a net basis, these transactions did not impact on Group IGD solvency and Economic Capital measures. Tangible debt leverage, the ratio of external senior and subordinated debt to tangible capital employed, is 41% (FY13: 48%) under IFRS basis, and 30% under MCEV basis (FY13: 33%). 

      At FY14 the market value of our external debt, subordinated debt, preference shares (including both Aviva plc preference shares of £200 million and General Accident plc preference shares, within non-controlling interest, of £250 million), and direct capital instruments and fixed rate tier 1 notes was £7,511 million (FY13: £7,573 million).

These sensitivities assume a full tax charge/credit on market value assumptions. The interest rate sensitivity also assumes an equivalent movement in both inflation and discount rate (i.e. no change to real interest rates) and therefore incorporates the offsetting effects of these items on the pension scheme liabilities. A 1% increase in the real interest rate has the effect of reducing the pension scheme liability in the main UK pension scheme by £1.8 billion (before any associated tax impact).

      The 0.5% increased credit spread sensitivities for IFRS and MCEV do not make an allowance for any adjustment to risk-free interest rates. MCEV sensitivities assume that the credit spread movement relates to credit risk and not liquidity risk; in practice, credit spread movements may be partially offset due to changes in liquidity risk. Life IFRS sensitivities provide for any impact of credit spread movements on liability valuations. The IFRS and MCEV sensitivities also include the allocation of staff pension scheme sensitivities, which assume inflation rates and government bond yields remain constant. In practice, the sensitivity of the business to changes in credit spreads is subject to a number of complex interactions. The impact of the credit spread movements will be related to individual portfolio composition and may be driven by changes in credit or liquidity risk; hence, the actual impact may differ substantially from applying spread movements implied by various published credit spread indices to these sensitivities.

 

C2 - Regulatory capital

Individual regulated subsidiaries measure and report solvency based on applicable local regulations, including in the UK the regulations established by the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA). These measures are also consolidated under the European Insurance Groups Directive (IGD) to calculate regulatory capital adequacy at an aggregate Group level, where Aviva has a regulatory obligation to have a positive position at all times. This measure represents the excess of the aggregate value of regulatory capital employed in our business over the aggregate minimum solvency requirements imposed by local regulators, excluding the surplus held in the UK and Ireland with-profit life funds. The minimum solvency requirement for our European businesses is based on the Solvency 1 Directive. In broad terms, for EU operations, this is set at 4% and 1% of non-linked and unit-linked life reserves respectively and for our general insurance portfolio of business is the higher of 18% of gross premiums or 26% of gross claims, in both cases adjusted to reflect the level of reinsurance recoveries. For our businesses in Canada a risk charge on assets and liabilities approach is used.

      Based on individual guidance from the PRA we recognise surpluses of the non-profit funds of our UK life and pensions businesses which are available for transfer to shareholders. These have decreased to £nil as at 31 December 2014 (FY13: £0.1 billion).

The EU Insurance Groups Directive (IGD) regulatory capital solvency surplus has decreased by £0.4 billion since FY13 to £3.2 billion. This total includes an adverse impact of £0.4 billion from recognising the proposed final dividend for 2014 that was announced on 2 December 2014 as part of the announcement of the Group's offer to acquire Friends Life Group Limited. The dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the AGM, but is considered foreseeable and is therefore deducted from the 31 December 2014 IGD surplus. In contrast, the 2013 final dividend of £0.3 billion was not foreseeable as at 31 December 2013, and was not deducted from the 2013 year-end IGD surplus.

1    Market movements include the impact of equity, credit spread, interest rate and foreign exchange movements net of the effect of hedging instruments. In the period market movements also include positive variances in the UK due to the recent revaluation of the equity release business, offset by the higher cost of replacing mortgages after a fall in the risk free interest rate.

(b)  Reconciliation of Group IGD capital resources to FRS capital

The reconciliation below provides analysis of differences between our capital resources and the amounts included in the capital statement made in accordance with FRS 27 and disclosed within our consolidated accounts. The Group Capital Adequacy report is prepared in accordance with the PRA valuation rules and brings in capital in respect of UK life funds valued in accordance with PRA regulatory rules excluding surpluses in with-profit funds. The FRS 27 disclosure brings in the realistic value of UK life capital resources. As the two bases can differ greatly, the reconciliation below is presented by removing the restricted regulatory assets and then replacing them with the unrestricted realistic assets.

(c)  Regulatory capital - UK life with-profits funds

The available capital of the with-profit funds is represented by the realistic inherited estate.  The estate represents the assets of the long-term with-profit funds less the realistic liabilities for non-profit policies within the funds, less asset shares aggregated across the with-profit policies and any additional amounts expected at the valuation date to be paid to in-force policyholders in the future in respect of smoothing costs, guarantees and promises.  Realistic balance sheet information is shown below for the three main UK with-profit funds; New With-Profit Sub-Fund (NWPSF), Old With-Profit Sub-Fund (OWPSF) and With-Profit Sub-Fund (WPSF).  These realistic liabilities have been included within the long-term business provision and the liability for insurance and investment contracts on the Group's IFRS balance sheet at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013.

These realistic liabilities make provision for guarantees, options and promises on a market consistent stochastic basis.  The value of the provision included within realistic liabilities is £1.4 billion, £0.3 billion and £3.0 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively (FY13: £1.4 billion, £0.2 billion and £2.5 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively).

2    Estimated realistic inherited estate at FY13 was £nil, £0.4 billion and £1.5 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively.

3    The support arrangement represents the reattributed estate (RIEESA) of £2.1 billion at 31 December 2014 (FY13: £1.1 billion). The increase arises mainly from the transfer of non-profit business from RIEESA to NWPSF and recognition of the value of this business in RIEESA.

4    The WPSF fund includes the Provident Mutual (PM) fund which has realistic assets and liabilities of £1.7 billion and therefore does not contribute to the realistic inherited estate.

C3 - IFRS Sensitivity analysis

The Group uses a number of sensitivity test-based risk management tools to understand the volatility of earnings, the volatility of its capital requirements, and to manage its capital more efficiently. Primarily, MCEV, ICA, and scenario analysis are used. Sensitivities to economic and operating experience are regularly produced on all of the Group's financial performance measurements to inform the Group's decision making and planning processes, and as part of the framework for identifying and quantifying the risks that each of its business units, and the Group as a whole are exposed to.

      For long-term business in particular, sensitivities of MCEV performance indicators to changes in both economic and non-economic experience are continually used to manage the business and to inform the decision making process. More information on MCEV sensitivities can be found in the presentation of results on an MCEV basis in section F (note F20) of this report.

(a)  Life insurance and investment contracts

The nature of long-term business is such that a number of assumptions are made in compiling these financial statements. Assumptions are made about investment returns, expenses, mortality rates, and persistency in connection with the in-force policies for each business unit. Assumptions are best estimates based on historic and expected experience of the business. A number of the key assumptions for the Group's central scenario are disclosed elsewhere in these statements for both IFRS reporting and reporting under the MCEV methodology.

(b)  General insurance and health business

General insurance and health claim liabilities are estimated by using standard actuarial claims projection techniques.

      These methods extrapolate the claims development for each accident year based on the observed development of earlier years.

In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made as projections are based on assumptions implicit in the historic claims.

(c)  Sensitivity test results

Illustrative results of sensitivity testing for long-term business, general insurance and health and fund management business and other operations are set out below. For each sensitivity test the impact of a reasonably possible change in a single factor is shown, with other assumptions left unchanged.

 

Sensitivity factor

Description of sensitivity factor applied

Interest rate and investment return

The impact of a change in market interest rates by a 1% increase or decrease. The test allows

consistently for similar changes to investment returns and movements in the market value of

backing fixed interest securities.

Credit Spreads

The impact of a 0.5% increase in credit spreads over risk-free interest rates on corporate bonds

and other non-sovereign credit assets. The test allows for any consequential impact on liability

valuations.

Equity/property market values

The impact of a change in equity/property market values by ± 10%.

Expenses

The impact of an increase in maintenance expenses by 10%.

Assurance mortality/morbidity (life insurance only)

The impact of an increase in mortality/morbidity rates for assurance contracts by 5%.

Annuitant mortality (life insurance only)

The impact of a reduction in mortality rates for annuity contracts by 5%.

Gross loss ratios (non-life insurance only)

The impact of an increase in gross loss ratios for general insurance and health business by 5%.

Changes in sensitivities between 2014 and 2013 reflect movements in market interest rates, portfolio growth, changes to asset mix and the relative durations of assets and liabilities and asset liability management actions. The sensitivities to economic movements relate mainly to business in the UK. In general, a fall in market interest rates has a beneficial impact on non-participating business, due to the increase in market value of fixed interest securities and the relative durations of assets and liabilities; similarly a rise in interest rates has a negative impact. Mortality and expense sensitivities also relate primarily to the UK.

C3 - IFRS Sensitivity analysis continued

(g)  Limitations of sensitivity analysis

The previous tables demonstrate the effect of a change in a key assumption while other assumptions remain unchanged. In reality, there is a correlation between the assumptions and other factors. It should also be noted that these sensitivities are non-linear, and larger or smaller impacts should not be interpolated or extrapolated from these results.

      The sensitivity analyses do not take into consideration that the Group's assets and liabilities are actively managed. Additionally,  the financial position of the Group may vary at the time that any actual market movement occurs. For example, the Group's financial risk management strategy aims to manage the exposure to market fluctuations.

      As investment markets move past various trigger levels, management actions could include selling investments, changing investment portfolio allocation, adjusting bonuses credited to policyholders, and taking other protective action.

      A number of the business units use passive assumptions to calculate their long-term business liabilities. Consequently, a change  in the underlying assumptions may not have any impact on the liabilities, whereas assets held at market value in the statement of financial position will be affected. In these circumstances, the different measurement bases for liabilities and assets may lead to volatility in shareholders' equity. Similarly, for general insurance liabilities, the interest rate sensitivities only affect profit and equity where explicit assumptions are made regarding interest (discount) rates or future inflation.

      Other limitations in the above sensitivity analyses include the use of hypothetical market movements to demonstrate potential risk that only represent the Group's view of possible near-term market changes that cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the assumption that all interest rates move in an identical fashion.

As an insurance business, Aviva Group holds a variety of assets to match the characteristics and duration of its insurance liabilities. Appropriate and effective asset liability matching (on an economic basis) is the principal way in which Aviva manages its investments. In addition, to support this, Aviva also uses a variety of hedging and other risk management strategies to diversify away any residual mis-match risk that is outside of the Group's risk appetite.

1        Within the Group's statement of financial position, assets are recognised for deferred tax and current tax. The valuation basis of these assets does not directly fall within any of the categories outlined above. As such, these assets have been reported together with equity accounted items within the analysis of the Group's assets.

 

Fair value hierarchy

To provide further information on the valuation techniques we use to measure assets carried at fair value, we have categorised the measurement basis for assets carried at fair value into a 'fair value hierarchy' described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation as a whole:

· Inputs to Level 1 fair values are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

· Inputs to Level 2 fair values are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. If the asset has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset.

· Inputs to Level 3 fair values are unobservable inputs for the asset. Unobservable inputs may have been used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset at the measurement date (or market information for the inputs to any valuation models). As such unobservable inputs reflect the assumption the business unit considers that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Examples are investment property, certain private equity investment and private placements.

At 31 December 2014, the proportion of total investment property and financial assets classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy was 57.3% (FY13: 60.1%). The proportion of Level 2 investment property and financial assets has increased to 23.8% (FY13: 21.4%) and those classified as Level 3 were 17.1% (FY13: 16.2%). Movements in the proportion of assets held in each fair value hierarchy level reflects an increase in debt securities held within Level 2, driven by the reclassification of certain debt securities from Level 1 to Level 2.

96.7% (FY13: 97.5%) of total investment properties by value are held in policyholder or participating fund assets. Shareholder exposure to investment properties is principally through investments in French commercial property.

      Investment properties are stated at their market values as assessed by qualified external independent valuers or by local qualified staff of the Group, all with recent relevant experience. The investment properties are valued on an income basis that is based on current rental income plus anticipated uplifts at the next rent review, lease expiry, or break option taking in to consideration lease incentives and assuming no further growth in the estimated rental value of the property. This uplift and the discount rate are derived from rates implied by recent market transactions on similar property. These inputs are deemed unobservable.

      99.9% (FY13: 100%) of total investment properties by value are leased to third parties under operating leases, with the remainder either being vacant or held for capital appreciation.

D3 - Analysis of asset quality continued

D3.2 - Loans

The Group loan portfolio is principally made up of:

· Policy loans which are generally collateralised by a lien or charge over the underlying policy;

· Loans and advances to banks, which primarily relate to loans of cash collateral received in stock lending transactions. These loans are fully collateralised by other securities;

· Mortgage loans collateralised by property assets; and

· Other loans, which include loans to brokers and intermediaries.

 

Loans with fixed maturities, including policy loans, mortgage loans (at amortised cost) and loans and advances to banks, are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers. These loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances and adjusted for amortisation of premium or discount, non-refundable loan fees and related direct costs. These amounts are deferred and amortised over the life of the loan as an adjustment to loan yield using the effective interest rate method.

      For certain mortgage loans, the Group has taken advantage of the fair value option under IAS 39 to present the mortgages, associated borrowings, other liabilities and derivative financial instruments at fair value, since they are managed together on a fair value basis. The mortgage loans are not traded in active markets. These investments are classified as level 3 as the assumptions used to derive the credit risk, liquidity premium and property risk are not deemed to be market observable.

The Group's mortgage loan portfolio is mainly focused in the UK, across various sectors, including residential loans, commercial loans and government supported healthcare loans. Aviva's shareholder exposure to mortgage loans accounts for 96% of total shareholder asset loans. This section focuses on explaining the shareholder risk within these exposures.

United Kingdom & Ireland

(Non-securitised mortgage loans)

Residential

The UK non-securitised residential mortgage portfolio has a total current value of £4.1 billion (FY13: £3.1 billion). The movement from the prior year is due to £0.7 billion of net new loans and accrued interest (net of redemptions), and £0.3 billion of fair value gains (which includes a £0.3 billion adverse impact relating to a change to the model used to value these assets - for further details please see note B10(b)(iii) (Insurance liabilities)). These mortgages are all in the form of equity release, whereby homeowners mortgage their property to release cash equity. Due to the structure of equity release mortgages, whereby interest amounts due are not paid in cash but instead rolled into the amount outstanding, they predominantly have a current Loan to Value ("LTV") of below 70%. The average LTV across the portfolio is 27.2% (FY13:29.3%).

Healthcare

Primary Healthcare and PFI businesses loans included within shareholder assets are £4.6 billion (FY13: £4.1 billion) and are secured against primary health care premises (including General Practitioner surgeries), education, social housing and emergency services related premises. For all such loans, government support is provided through either direct funding or reimbursement of rental payments to the tenants to meet income service and provide for the debt to be reduced substantially over the term of the loan. Although the loan principal is not Government guaranteed, the nature of these businesses and premises provides considerable comfort of an ongoing business model and low risk of default.

      On a market value basis, we estimate the average LTV of these mortgages to be 92%, although as explained above, we do not consider this to be a key risk indicator. Income support from the Government bodies and the social need for these premises provide sustained income stability. Aviva therefore considers these loans to be lower risk.

Of the total £8.8 billion of UK non-securitised commercial mortgage loans in the shareholder fund, £8.7 billion are held by our UK Life business, of which £7.6 billion back annuity liabilities, and are stated on a fair value basis. Aviva UK General Insurance hold the remaining £0.1 billion of loans which are stated on an amortised cost basis and are subject to impairment review, using a fair value methodology calibrated to the UK Life approach, adjusted for specific portfolio characteristics. The loan exposures for our UK Life business are calculated on a discounted cash flow basis, and include a risk adjustment through the use of Credit Risk Adjusted Value ("CRAV") methods.

      For the commercial mortgages held by the UK Life and UK General Insurance businesses, loan service collection ratios, a key indicator of mortgage portfolio performance, improved to 1.31x (FY13: 1.20x). Loan Interest Cover ("LIC"), which is defined as the annual net rental income (including rental deposits and less ground rent) divided by the annual loan interest service, also improved to 1.47x (FY13: 1.40x). Average mortgage LTV increased by 2pp compared to FY13 from 83% to 85% (CRAV basis) driven by lower interest rates, largely offset by an increase in property values of c9.4% during the year.

      All loans in arrears have been assessed for impairment. Of the £1,492 million (FY13: £1,583 million) value of loans in arrears included within our shareholder assets, the interest and capital amount in arrears is only £79 million.

      Commercial mortgages are held at fair value on the asset side of the balance sheet.  Insurance liabilities are valued using a discount rate derived from the gross yield on assets, with adjustments to allow for risk. At FY14 this allowance within the liabilities amounted to £0.9 billion (FY13: £1.3 billion). Since FY13, £0.5 billion of the allowance within liabilities has been utilised to take action on certain riskier mortgages, partly offset by a £0.1 billion increase in the cost of replacing lost cash flows on future defaults, caused by lower interest rates and lower spreads on new commercial mortgages.

      Of the £7.6 billion mortgages backing annuity liabilities, £0.5 billion of non-performing loans have been treated as property on a look-though basis in arriving at an appropriate valuation discount rate. For the remainder, and the £4.4 billion of Healthcare and PFI mortgages held by Aviva Annuity UK Limited, the valuation allowance (including supplementary allowances) of £0.9 billion equates to 87 bps at 31 December 2014 (FY13: 124 bps). The total valuation allowance held by Aviva Annuity UK Limited in respect of corporate bonds and mortgages, including Healthcare and PFI mortgages is £1.9 billion (FY13: £2.0 billion) over the remaining term of the UK Life corporate bond and mortgage portfolio. In addition, we hold £56 million (FY13: £148 million) of impairment provisions in our UK General Insurance mortgage portfolio, which is carried at amortised cost.

      The UK portfolio remains well diversified in terms of property type, location and tenants as well as the spread of loans written over time. The risks in commercial mortgages are addressed through several layers of protection with the mortgage risk profile being primarily driven by the ability of the underlying tenant rental income to cover loan interest and amortisation. Should any single tenant default on their rental payment, rental from other tenants backing the same loan often ensures the loan interest cover does not fall below 1.0x. Where there are multiple loans to a single borrower, further protection may be achieved through cross-charging (or pooling) such that any single loan is also supported by rents received within other pool loans. Additionally, there may be support provided by the borrower of the loan itself and further loss mitigation from any general floating charge held over assets within the borrower companies.

      If the LIC cover falls below 1.0x and the borrower defaults then Aviva still retains the option of selling the security or restructuring the loans and benefiting from the protection of the collateral. A combination of these benefits and the high recovery levels afforded by property collateral (compared to corporate debt or other uncollateralised credit exposures) results in the economic exposure being significantly lower than the gross exposure reported above. Over 2014, we have sold a number of property portfolios after taking ownership of the collateral on certain non-performing commercial mortgages.

Securitised mortgage loans

Funding for the securitised residential mortgage assets of £2.4 billion (FY13: £2.2 billion) was obtained by issuing loan note securities. Of these loan notes approximately £210 million (FY13: £180 million) are held by group companies. The remainder is held by third parties external to Aviva. As any cash shortfall arising once all mortgages have redeemed is borne by the loan note holders, the majority of the credit risk of these mortgages is borne by third parties. Securitised residential mortgages held are predominantly issued through vehicles in the UK.

Aviva holds large quantities of debt securities in the form of high quality bonds, primarily to match our liability to make guaranteed payments to policyholders. Some credit risk is taken, partly to increase returns to policyholders and partly to optimise the risk/return profile for shareholders. The risks are consistent with the products we offer and the related investment mandates, and are in line with our risk appetite.

      The Group also holds equities, the majority of which are held in participating funds and policyholder funds, where they form an integral part of the investment expectations of policyholders and follow well-defined investment mandates. Some equities are also held in shareholder funds. The vast majority of equity investments are valued at quoted market prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

8.0%(FY13: 1.9%) of total shareholder exposure to debt securities is fair valued using models with significant unobservable market parameters (classified as fair value Level 3). Where estimates are used, these are based on a combination of independent third party evidence and internally developed models, calibrated to market observable data where possible. Fair value Level 3 has increased due to the transfer of privately placed notes where inputs have been deemed unobservable following the refinement of the discounted cash flow model used during the year.

      28.2% (FY13: 38.2%) of shareholder exposure to debt securities is based on quoted prices in an active market and are therefore classified as fair value Level 1. This has decreased due to the reclassification of certain debt securities to Level 2 as a result of the enhanced understanding of price vendor methodologies for the fair value classification.

The overall quality of the book remains strong. 46% of shareholder exposure to debt securities is in government holdings (FY13: 44%). Our corporate debt securities portfolio represents 49% of total shareholder debt securities (FY13: 51%).

      The majority of non-rated corporate bonds are held by our businesses in the UK.

      At 31 December 2014, the proportion of our shareholder debt securities that are investment grade increased to 91.3%

(FY13: 90.2%). The remaining 8.7% of shareholder debt securities that do not have an external rating of BBB or higher can be split as follows:

· 0.8% are debt securities that are rated as below investment grade;

· 7.9% are not rated by the major rating agencies.

 

Of the securities not rated by an external agency most are allocated an internal rating using a methodology largely consistent with that adopted by an external rating agency, and are considered to be of investment grade credit quality; these include £2.5 billion (FY13: £2.4 billion) of debt securities held in our UK Life business, predominantly made up of private placements and other corporate bonds, which have been internally rated as investment grade.

      The Group has extremely limited exposure to CDOs, CLOs and 'Sub-prime' debt securities.

      Out of the total asset backed securities (ABS), £611 million (FY13: £496 million) are held by the UK Life business. 89.6% of the Group's shareholder holdings in ABS are investment grade (FY13: 86.1%). ABS that either have a rating below BBB or are not rated represent approximately 0.2% of shareholder exposure to debt securities (FY13: 0.2%).

89.6% of our total shareholder exposure to equity securities is based on quoted prices in an active market and as such is classified as Level 1 (FY13: 69.1%). The decrease in Level 3 shareholder equity securities reflects the disposal of a strategic holding in Italian banks during 2014.

D3.3 - Financial investments continued

D3.3.5 - Exposures to peripheral European countries

Included in our debt securities and other financial assets are exposures to peripheral European countries. All of these assets are valued on a mark to market basis under IAS 39, and therefore our statement of financial position and income statement already reflect any reduction in value between the date of purchase and the balance sheet date. The significant majority of these holdings are within our participating funds where the risk to our shareholders is governed by the nature and extent of our participation within those funds.

      Net of non-controlling interests, our direct shareholder and participating fund asset exposure to the government (and local authorities and agencies) of Italy is £4.9 billion (FY13: £4.9 billion). Gross of non-controlling interests, 98% of our shareholder asset exposure to Italy arises from the investment exposure of our Italian business.

 

Direct sovereign exposures to Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain (net of non-controlling interests, excluding policyholder assets)

D3.4 - Reinsurance assets

The Group assumes and cedes reinsurance in the normal course of business, with retention limits varying by line of business. Reinsurance assets primarily include balances due from both insurance and reinsurance companies for ceded insurance liabilities. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provisions or settled claims associated with the reinsured policies and in accordance with the relevant reinsurance contract.

      If a reinsurance asset is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount accordingly and recognises that impairment loss in the income statement. A reinsurance asset is impaired if there is objective evidence, as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset, that the Group may not receive all amounts due to it under the terms of the contract, and the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Group will receive from the reinsurer.

      For the table below, reinsurance asset credit ratings are stated in accordance with information from leading rating agencies.

D3.5 - Receivables and other financial assets

The credit quality of receivables and other financial assets is managed at the local business unit level. Where assets classed as 'past due and impaired' exceed local credit limits, and are also deemed at sufficiently high risk of default, an analysis of the asset is performed and a decision is made whether to seek sufficient collateral from the counterparty or to write down the value of the asset as impaired. At FY14, 99% (FY13: 98%) of the receivables and other financial assets were neither past due nor impaired.

      Credit terms vary from subsidiary to subsidiary, and from country to country, and are set locally within overall credit limits prescribed by the Group credit limit framework, and in line with the Group Credit Policy.

      The Group reviews the carrying value of its receivables at each reporting period. If the carrying value of a receivable or other financial asset is greater than the recoverable amount, the carrying value is reduced through a charge to the income statement in the period of impairment.

 

D3.6 - Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at banks and in hand, deposits held at call with banks, treasury bills and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Such investments are normally those with less than three months maturity from the date of acquisition, and include certificates of deposit with maturities of less than three months at date of issue.

 

D4 - Pension fund assets

In addition to the assets recognised directly on the Group's statement of financial position outlined in the disclosures above, the Group is also exposed to the "Scheme assets" that are shown net of the present value of scheme liabilities within the IAS 19 net pension surplus. Pension surpluses are included within other assets and pension deficits are recognised within provisions in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. Refer to Note B16 for details on the movements in the main schemes' surpluses and deficits.

      Scheme assets are stated at their fair values. Total scheme assets are comprised in the UK, Ireland and Canada as follows:

Risk management and asset allocation strategy

The long-term investment objectives of the trustees and the employers are to limit the risk of the assets failing to meet the liabilities of the schemes over the long term, and to maximise returns consistent with an acceptable level of risk so as to control the long-term costs of these schemes. To meet these objectives, the schemes' assets are invested in a portfolio consisting primarily (approximately 75%) of debt securities. The investment strategy will continue to evolve over time and is expected to match the liability profile increasingly closely with swap overlays to improve interest rate and inflation matching. The schemes are generally matched to interest rates on the funding basis.

Main UK Scheme

The Company works closely with the trustee, who is required to consult it on the investment strategy.

      Interest rate and inflation risk are managed using a combination of liability-matching assets and swaps. Exposure to equity risk has been reducing over time and credit risk is managed within appetite. Currency risk is relatively small and is largely hedged. The other principal risk is longevity risk. On 5 March 2014, the Aviva Staff Pension Scheme entered into a longevity swap covering approximately £5 billion of pensioner in payment scheme liabilities. 

Other schemes

The other schemes are considerably less material but their risks are managed in a similar way to those in the main UK scheme.

 

D5 - Available funds

To ensure access to liquidity as and when needed, the Group maintains £1.6 billion of undrawn committed central borrowing facilities with various highly rated banks, £0.75 billion of which is allocated to support the credit ratings of Aviva plc's commercial paper programmes. The expiry profile of the undrawn committed central borrowing facilities is as follows:

D6 - Guarantees

As a normal part of their operating activities, various Group companies have given guarantees and options, including investment return guarantees, in respect of certain long-term insurance and fund management products.

      For the UK Life with-profit business, provisions in respect of these guarantees and options are calculated on a market consistent basis, in which stochastic models are used to evaluate the level of risk (and additional cost) under a number of economic scenarios, which allow for the impact of volatility in both interest rates and equity prices. For UK Life non-profit business, provisions do not materially differ from those determined on a market consistent basis.

      In all other businesses, provisions for guarantees and options are calculated on a local basis with sensitivity analysis undertaken where appropriate to assess the impact on provisioning levels of a movement in interest rates and equity levels (typically a 1% decrease in interest rates and 10% decline in equity markets).
