  1. 1. Required capital is shown net of implicit items permitted by local regulators to cover minimum solvency margins.

The shareholders' net worth is the market value of the shareholders' funds and the shareholders' interest in the surplus held in the non-profit component of the long-term business funds, determined on a statutory solvency basis and adjusted to add back any non-admissible assets. Required capital, net of implicit items, is included within the net worth.

The value of in-force covered business includes 'cost of required capital' - the effect of holding shareholders' capital to support the level of required capital and allowing for projected future releases.
