Probable Maximum Loss for LMIs

Authority

1.              This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

Purpose

1.              Information collected in Form GRF 116.1 Probable Maximum Loss for LMIs – Standard Loans, Form GRF 116.2 Probable Maximum Loss for LMIs – Non-Standard Loans, Form GRF 116.3  Probable Maximum Loss for LMIs – Commercial Loans, Form GRF 116.4 LMI Concentration Risk Charge and Form GRF 116.5 Probable Maximum Loss for LMIs – Additional Information (the GRF 116.1 series) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with the capital standards.

Application and commencement

1.              This Reporting Standard applies to all general insurers authorised under the Insurance Act 1973 (insurers) that are lenders mortgage insurers under paragraph 8 of Prudential Standard CPS 001 Defined terms (CPS001). This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 1 April 2025. 

Information required

1.              An insurer must provide APRA with the information required by the GRF 116.1 series for each reporting period.

Forms and method of submission

1.              The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA:

1.           in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website; or

(b)     by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.

Reporting periods and due dates

1.              Subject to paragraph 7, an insurer must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard:

1.           in respect of each quarter based on the financial year of the insurer; and
2.           in respect of each financial year of the insurer.

Note: The annual information required from an insurer by paragraphs 4, 5 and 6(b), together with certain annual information required by other reporting standards, will form part of the insurer’s yearly statutory accounts within the meaning of section 3 of the Insurance Act 1973 (the Insurance Act). This means that the information must be audited in accordance with paragraph 49J(1)(a) of the Insurance Act.  Under subsection 49J(3), the principal auditor of the insurer must give the insurer a certificate relating to the yearly statutory accounts, and that certificate must contain statements of the auditor’s opinions on the matters required by the prudential standards to be dealt with in the certificate.

1.              If, having regard to the particular circumstances of an insurer, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more or less frequently than as provided by subparagraph 6(a) or 6(b), APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specify reporting periods, for the particular insurer.  
2.              The information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of an insurer must be provided to APRA:
   1.           within the time stated in Reporting Standard GRS 001 Reporting Requirements (GRS 001); or
   2.           in the case of information provided in accordance with paragraph 7, within the time specified by notice in writing.

Note: Paragraph 49L(1)(a) of the Insurance Act provides that the auditor’s certificate required under subsection 49J(3) of that Act must be lodged with APRA in accordance with the prudential standards.  The prudential standards provide that the certificate must be submitted to APRA together with the yearly statutory accounts.  Accordingly, the auditor’s certificate relating to the annual information referred to in subparagraph 6(b) must be provided to APRA by the time specified in GRS 001 (unless an extension of time is granted under GRS 001).

Quality control

1.              The information provided by an insurer under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the Appointed Auditor of the insurer. This will require the Appointed Auditor to review and test the insurer’s systems, processes and controls designed to enable the insurer to report reliable financial information to APRA. This review and testing must be done on:

1.           an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the Appointed Auditor to form an opinion on the reliability and accuracy of data; and
2.           at least a limited assurance engagement consistent with professional standards and guidance notes issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AUASB) as may be amended from time to time, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the requirements of Prudential Standard GPS 310 Audit and Related Matters.
   1.          All information provided by an insurer under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the insurer for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the Board and senior management of the insurer to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.

Authorisation

1.          When an officer, or agent, of an insurer provides the information required by this Reporting Standard using an electronic format it will be necessary for an officer, or agent, to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
2.          If an insurer provides the information required by this Reporting Standard through an agent who submits using an electronic format on the insurer’s behalf, the insurer must:
   1.           obtain from the agent a copy of the completed form with the information provided to APRA; and
   2.           retain the completed copy.
3.          An officer, or agent, of an insurer who submits the information under this Reporting Standard for, or on behalf of, the insurer must be authorised by either:

1.           the Principal Executive Officer of the insurer; or
2.           the Chief Financial Officer of the insurer.

Variations

1.          APRA may, by written notice to the insurer, vary the reporting requirements of the GRF 116.1 series in relation to that insurer.

Transition

1.          An insurer to which the Reporting Standard applies must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:

old reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked in the determination making this Reporting Standard; and

transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:

1.           that ended before the date of revocation; and
2.           in relation to which the insurer was required, under the old reporting standard, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standard.

Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if an insurer was required to report under an old reporting standard, and the reporting documents were due before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard, the insurer is still required to provide any overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.

1.   Total 

This is automatically calculated as the sum of Items 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

1.               LMI Concentration Risk Charge (LMICRC) calculation 

This represents the years for the Prescribed Stress Scenario which is in the form of a three-year economic or property downturn. The PML must be allocated in the proportion of 25 per cent to year one, 50 per cent to year two and 25 per cent to year three of the downturn.

1.           PML 

This represents the total PML across all loan types, coverage types and origination channels. Total PML is automatically allocated in the proportions of 25 per cent to year one, 50 per cent to year two and 25 per cent to year three of the Prescribed Stress Scenario.

1.           Adjustment to the PML 

For a lenders mortgage insurer (LMI) no longer writing new business (i.e. in run-off), the sum insured is expected to decrease over the three-year scenario and it may be appropriate for an LMI in run-off to adjust its PML downwards. The methodology for adjusting an LMI’s PML in a run-off situation must be approved by APRA and documented in the LMI’s Reinsurance Management Strategy (ReMS).

A reduction in PML is to be entered as a positive amount. Do not enter any other adjustments to PML in this field.

1.           Adjusted PML 

This is automatically calculated as Item 2.1 less Item 2.2.

1.           Available reinsurance 

Report the amount of available reinsurance for each of the three years of the Prescribed Stress Scenario. The methodology for calculating available reinsurance is detailed in Attachment A of GPS 116.

1.           Allowable reinsurance    

This is the lesser of Available reinsurance and 60 per cent of the Adjusted PML. It is automatically calculated by the form.

1.           PML net of reinsurance    

This is automatically calculated as Item 2.3 less Item 2.5.

1.           Net premiums liability deduction    

In determining the LMI Concentration Risk Charge (LMICRC), this is the value of the deduction from the PML, allowed under GPS 116, for net premiums liability of the LMI that relates to an economic downturn.

It is to be reported as a positive amount.

1.           Adjustments to LMICRC as approved by APRA
