§ 33-12-109. Credit Risk Attributable To Derivative Statement

Credit risk attributable to derivative statement. (1) The amount of credit risk equals: (a) the market value of the over-the-counter derivative instrument if the liquidation of the derivative instrument would result in a final cash payment to the insurer; or (b) zero if the liquidation of the derivative instrument would not result in a final cash payment to the insurer. (2) If over-the-counter derivative instruments are entered into under a written master agreement that provides for netting of payments owed by the respective parties and the domiciliary jurisdiction of the counterparty is either within the United States or if not within the United States, within a foreign jurisdiction listed in the Purposes and Procedures of the Securities Valuation Office as eligible for netting, the net amount of credit risk must be the greater of zero or the net sum of: (a) the market value of the over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into under the agreement, the liquidation of which would result in a final cash payment to the insurer; and (b) the market value of the over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into under the agreement, the liquidation of which would result in a final cash payment by the insurer to the business entity. (3) For open transactions, market value must be determined at the end of the most recent quarter of the insurer's fiscal year and must be reduced by the market value of acceptable collateral held by the insurer or placed in escrow by one or both parties.
