On November 26, 2020, the Office of the Superintendent of
Financial Institutions ("
OSFI") issued
for public comment a draft revised Guideline B-2,
Property and
Casualty Large Insurance Exposures and Investment
Concentration (the "
Draft
Guideline") which would replace the current Guideline
B-2,
Investment Concentration Limit for Property and Casualty
Insurance Companies (the "
Current
Guideline").
The significant changes to the Draft Guideline address single
large insurance exposures of federally regulated property and
casualty insurers ("
P&C Insurers").
The Draft Guideline departs from a proposal in 2018 (the
"
2018 Proposal") that, among other
things, required that P&C Insurers be able to cover their three
largest policy limit losses.
