Pillar 2 is very important from a supervisory perspective
SII seeks to promote high and consistent risk management standards
Art 43 requires firms to◦ Have effective risk management systems ◦ Consider all risk exposures, both current and possible◦ Have a risk management system that is fully
integrated into the organisation
It is not just about the SCR!

Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA):◦ Art. 44 requires firms to assess the level of risk in their business and
the level of solvency required to mitigate those risks
