MEMORANDUM
TO: Kevin Fry, Chair, Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force
Members of the Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force
FROM: Bob Carcano, Senior Counsel, NAIC Investment Analysis Office;
CC: Charles Therriault, Director, NAIC Securities Valuation Office;
Eric Kolchinsky, Director, NAIC Structured Securities Group

DATE: December 28, 2017
RE: Proposed Amendment to the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC Investment Analysis Office (P&P
Manual) –Definitional Changes and Mapping Framework for an Expanded NAIC RBC Framework
Showing the Amendment Adopted on June 11, 2018 by the VOS TF
and as revised on Aug. 5, 2018
1. Introduction - The Investment Risk-Based Capital (E) Working Group has adopted a proposal to increase the
number of risk-based capital (RBC) categories for bonds to 20 based using credit rating default probabilities of NAIC CRPs.
The Task Force received the Working Group’s proposal at the 2016 Fall National Meeting and directed SVO and SSG to
evaluate the proposal and provide recommendations. The IAO presented its report on April 9, 2017 which was subsequently
adopted on Aug. 7, 2017 and referred to the Working Group.
2. Discussion - The IAO report outlined the staff’s intent to create an NAIC Designation Category as the framework
the Working Group would use to assign more granular RBC factors linked to the prevailing NAIC Designation framework.
The new NAIC Designation Category would apply to NAIC Designations produced by the SVO, independently or based on
CRP credit ratings for filing exempt and PL securities as well as those assigned to RMBS and CMBS based on financial
modelling by the SSG or other structured securities subject to the modified filing exempt process. During the Aug. 7 meeting,
the Task Force considered holding a joint conference call with the Working Group and the Capital Adequacy (E) Task Force
to consider adoption of the proposed RBC framework. That meeting could not be arranged as initially thought although the
target implementation date is still Jan. 1, 2019 for insurer reporting by year-end Dec. 31, 2019. The IAO therefore proposes
the amendments to the P&P Manual shown below. The amendments weave the NAIC Designation Category concept into that
of NAIC Designations and provide for mapping of NAIC CRP credit ratings to the RBC factors. Adoption of these
amendments early in 2018, would permit the staff to develop and implement administrative, technology and operational

components for the new process as well as develop any new process that may be required for filing or reporting purposes.
The IAO recommends that the Task Force make the amendments effective Jan. 1, 2019 with the understanding the
implementation could be moved if all necessary components are not in place by that time.
3. Proposed Amendment –The proposed amendments shown below describe and explain the purpose of NAIC
Designation Categories and their relationship to NAIC Designations and provide additional mapping tables for use in the
NAIC RBC process along those now used to produce NAIC Designations for filing exempt and PL securities.

Part One Purposes, General Policies and Instructions to the SVO
Section 2 – Policies Defining the SVO Staff Function
(b) SVO Regulatory Products
(i) NAIC Designations
The result of SVO's credit analysis, as it pertains to credit risk (hereafter defined), shall be
expressed as an opinion of credit quality by assignment of an NAIC Designation, notched to
reflect the position of the specific liability in the issuer’s capital structure. Collectively, NAIC
Designations categories, defined in Part One, Section 3 b) (i) of this Manual, describes a credit
quality-risk gradation range from highest quality (least risk) to lowest quality (greatest risk).
Subject to the application of Part One, Section 2(f) of this Part, NAIC Designations express
opinions about credit risk except when accompanied by the NAIC Designation subscript,
described in paragraph (iii) below.
Credit risk is defined as the relative financial capability of an obligor to make the payments
contractually promised to a lender. Credit analysis is performed solely for the purpose of
designating the quality of an investment made by an insurance company to enable the NAIC
member's department of insurance to determine regulatory treatment.
Credit risk is determined by analyzing the information and documentation provided to the SVO
by the reporting insurance company and its advisors. The SVO does not audit the information
submitted and assumes the information to be timely, accurate and reliable.
The ability of an insurance company to realize payment on a financial obligation can be affected
by factors not related to credit risk or by the manner in which the repayment promise has been
structured.
NAIC Designations do not measure other risks or factors that may affect repayment, such as
volatility/interest rate, prepayment, extension or liquidity risk.
An NAIC Designation must be interpreted by the NAIC member in context of the NAIC
Financial Conditions Framework, other characteristics of the investment, and the specific
regulatory status of the insurance company.

The result of SVO's credit analysis, expressed as an opinion of credit quality by assignment of
an NAIC Designation shall be further expanded into NAIC Designation Categories as, and for
the purposes, discussed in Part One, Section 3 b) (i) of this Manual.
…
Section 3 Internal Administration
(b) Definitions of NAIC Designation, NAIC Designation Categories, Valuation Indicators, Administrative
Symbols and Conventions
(i) Definition of NAIC Designation Categories
NAIC Designations are proprietary symbols that the NAIC SVO uses to denote a category or
band of credit risk. NAIC Designations are produced for statutory accounting, reporting, state
investment laws and other purposes identified in the NAIC Financial Regulation Standards and
Accreditation Program and or other NAIC developed regulatory guidance embodied in state
law.
NAIC Designations are adjusted in accordance with the notching procedures described in
subparagraph (iii) (A), (B) and (C) below, so that an NAIC Designation for a given security
reflects the position of that specific security in the issuer’s capital structure.
NAIC Designations may also be adjusted by notching to reflect the existence of other non-
payment risk in the specific security in accordance with the procedures described in
subparagraph (ii) and (iii) (C) below.
When applied to preferred stock, the valuation indicator P is placed in front of the NAIC
Designation to indicate that the SVO has classified the security as a perpetual preferred stock.
The valuation indicator RP is placed in front of the NAIC Designation to indicate that the SVO
has classified the security as a redeemable preferred stock for the purposes of valuation under
SAP.
NAIC 1 is assigned to obligations exhibiting the highest quality. Credit risk is at its lowest and
the issuer's credit profile is stable. This means that interest, principal or both will be paid in
accordance with the contractual agreement and that repayment of principal is well protected. An
NAIC 1 obligation should be eligible for the most favorable treatment provided under the NAIC
Financial Conditions Framework.
NAIC 2 is assigned to obligations of high quality. Credit risk is low but may increase in the
intermediate future and the issuer's credit profile is reasonably stable. This means that for the
present, the obligation's protective elements suggest a high likelihood that interest, principal or
both will be paid in accordance with the contractual agreement, but there are suggestions that an
adverse change in circumstances or economic, financial or business conditions will affect the
degree of protection and lead to a weakened capacity to pay. An NAIC 2 obligation should be
eligible for relatively favorable treatment under the NAIC Financial Conditions Framework.
NAIC 3 is assigned to obligations of medium quality. Credit risk is intermediate and the issuer's
credit profile has elements of instability. These obligations exhibit speculative elements. This
means that the likelihood that interest, principal or both will be paid in accordance with the
contractual agreement is reasonable for the present, but an exposure to an adverse change in
circumstances or economic, financial or business conditions would create an uncertainty about

the issuer's capacity to make timely payments. An NAIC 3 obligation should be eligible for less
favorable treatment under the NAIC Financial Conditions Framework.
NAIC 4 is assigned to obligations of low quality. Credit risk is high and the issuer's credit
profile is volatile. These obligations are highly speculative, but currently the issuer has the
capacity to meet its obligations. This means that the likelihood that interest, principal or both
will be paid in accordance with the contractual agreement is low and that an adverse change in
circumstances or business, financial or economic conditions would accelerate credit risk,
leading to a significant impairment in the issuer's capacity to make timely payments. An NAIC
4 obligation should be accorded stringent treatment under the NAIC Financial Conditions
Framework.
NAIC 5 is assigned to obligations of the lowest credit quality, which are not in or near default.
Credit risk is at its highest and the issuer’s credit profile is highly volatile, but currently the
issuer has the capacity to meet its obligations. This means that the likelihood that interest,
principal or both will be paid in accordance with the contractual agreement is significantly
impaired given any adverse business, financial or economic conditions. An NAIC 5 Designation
suggests a very high probability of default. An NAIC 5 obligation should incur more stringent
treatment under the NAIC Financial Conditions Framework.
NAIC 6 is assigned to obligations that are in or near default. This means that payment of
interest, principal or both is not being made, or will not be made, in accordance with the
contractual agreement. An NAIC 6 obligation should incur the most severe treatment under the
NAIC Financial Conditions Framework.
(ii) NAIC Designation Categories
Upon the determination of an NAIC Designation, the SVO produces NAIC Designation
Categories, as described and defined in Part Two, Section 1 of this Manual below. .

NAIC Designation Categories are a subset of NAIC Designations and are used by the VOS/TF
to link the NAIC risk-based-capital (RBC) framework adopted by the NAIC Capital Adequacy
(E) Task Force to the VOS/TF’s credit assessment process. The NAIC Capital Adequacy (E)
Task Force assigns RBC factors to each NAIC Designation Category as shown below.

Comment [RC3]: Do we want to publish the RBC factors in the P&P Manual with an appropriate disclaimer – shown below.
Comment [CAT4]: American Academy of Actuaries proposal to the IRBCWG in their Ocotber 10, 2017 letter.
Comment [KM5]: 1.Table will be deleted. The final table with the approved RBC factors can be included in the future when they are finalized.
2. The two additional proposed identifiers for U.S. Government entities as a 1.US and U.S. government sponsored entities (GSEs) as a 1.GS was intended to facilitate reporting for RBC purposes by providing a consistent means to identify NAIC designations based upon these policy exceptions. The intent was not to introduce changes in differences in treatment. If that is the effect of this proposal we would delete these portions of the proposal. IRBCWG and Capital Adequacy can decide if it will be useful to have these additional administrative symbols for reporting purposes. 6/4/18

NAIC Designation means any one of the gradations of credit quality and credit risk identified by the NAIC 1 through NAIC
6 symbols defined in Part One, Section 3(b)(i) of this Manual and may reflect notching pursuant to one or both of the
notching procedures discussed in Part One, Section 3 (b) (iii) of this Manual.
NAIC Designation Category means and refers to 20 more granular delineations of credit risk in the NAIC 1 through NAIC
6 credit risk scale used by the VOS/TF to relate credit risk in insurer owned securities to a risk based capital factor assigned
by the NAIC Capital Adequacy (E) Task Force. Each delineation of credit risk is represented by a letter (a Modifier) which
modifies the NAIC Designation grade to indicate a more granular measure of credit risk within the NAIC Designation grade.
The more granular delineations of credit risk are distributed as follows: 7 for the NAIC 1 Designation grade indicated by the
letters A through G; 3 delineations each for each of the NAIC Designation grades NAIC 2, NAIC 3, NAIC 4 and NAIC 5
indicated by the letters A, B and C and 1 delineation for NAIC Designation grade NAIC 6. indicated by the letter Aand 1
delineation for non-designated securities with an NAIC Designation grade of NAIC NR. The NAIC Designation Category
framework is shown in Part Three, Section 1 (e) of this Manual. All Modifiers roll up into the respective NAIC Designation
grade as they are a subset of them.
Part Three Credit Assessment
Section 1 - Corporate and Preferred Stock
(b) Procedure Applicable to Filing Exempt (FE) and to Private Letter (PL) Rating Securities
(iii) Direction and Procedure
The SVO shall produce NAIC Designations for FE securities by applying the following
procedure in conjunction with the List of Credit Rating Providers and the Equivalent of their
Credit Ratings to NAIC Designations, shown below.
A Bond or Preferred Stock that has been assigned an Eligible NAIC CRP Rating will
be assigned the equivalent NAIC Designation.
If two Eligible NAIC CRP Ratings have been assigned, then the lowest credit rating
will be used to assign the equivalent NAIC Designation.
In case of a Bond or Preferred Stock that has been assigned three or more Eligible
NAIC CRP Ratings, the Eligible NAIC CRP Ratings for the Bond or Preferred Stock
will be ordered according to their NAIC equivalents and the credit rating falling second
lowest will be used to determine the equivalent NAIC Designation, even if that rating
is equal to that of the first lowest. …
(vii) CRP Credit Rating Equivalents to NAIC Designations and to NAIC Designation Categories
Please note that the existence of a rating does not eliminate the requirement to file on SAR on
any insurer owned security not currently listed in the VOS manual unless exempted from filing
as detailed in Part Three, Section 1 (b) of this Manual.
