Bank Run Scenario Unlikely To Hit Canada's Lifecos But Impacts May Ari...

DBRS Morningstar published a commentary discussing the impact of unrealized investment losses on Canadian life insurance companies’ balance sheets and solvency levels in the context of rising interest rates. Key highlights include the following: -- Canadian insurers' unrealized losses are considered insignificant in relation to their invested assets as a result of asset-liability matching and accounting measurement that provides for a largely offsetting movement in liabilities. -- Insurance...

Sun Life Financial: Equity Market Volatility Drives Decline in Q3 Earn...

Sun Life Financial Inc. reported net income attributed to common shareholders of $466 million for Q3 2022, a 54.3% decline compared with Q3 2021 primarily driven by unfavourable equity market-related impacts, a $170 million charge related to the sale of Sun Life UK, and an increase in SLC Management's acquisition-related liabilities. Overall results equated to a return on equity (as calculated by DBRS Morningstar) of 7.7%, down from 17.6% a year ago.

Sun Life Financial Inc. reported good net income attributed to common shareholders of $858 million for Q1 2022 that resulted in a return on equity (as calculated by DBRS Morningstar) of 14.4%. However, net income decreased by 8.4% from $937 million reported in Q1 2021 owing to less favourable market-related impacts, partially offset by a restructuring charge from the prior year's quarter and better results from MFS Investment Management.

Canada's federal budget that was tabled on April 7, 2022, contains several measures affecting life insurance companies. For example, the budget offered additional details on the government's previously announced prescription drugs and dental benefit programs as well as income tax increases arising from both permanent and temporary tax measures, including from IFRS 17 adoption. The budget also makes climate-related disclosures mandatory for insurance companies and banks starting in 2024. Key hig...

Canada's Road to Net Zero, and the Potential Impact on the Ratings of ...

Canada has committed to attaining net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and subsequently set its target goals into law in June 2021. It joins only about a dozen other jurisdictions around the world that have introduced net-zero laws. Canadian insurance companies are also increasingly making commitments to achieve net zero emissions in their operations and in their investment portfolios by 2050. Key highlights include: -- Canada's transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions will b...

Canadian Insurance Debt Issuance: Strong in 2021 but Likely to Wane in...

Canadian insurance debt issuance in 2021 decreased 10% compared with 2020 levels but remained well above historical averages for the industry. Canadian insurance companies issued almost $12 billion in bonds and preferred shares in 2021, supporting our view that the industry continues to benefit from strong access to funding, particularly for large international acquisitions. However, insurance debt issuances are likely to temper in 2022. Key highlights include: -- Canadian insurance companies ...

Regulatory capital levels have increased for banks and stayed at healthy levels for insurers. As a result, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) announced on November 4, 2021, that it is immediately lifting its restrictions on dividend increases and share buybacks. Capital management activity restrictions were impleme...

Sun Life Financial Inc. reported very strong net income attributed to common shareholders of $1.02 billion for Q3 2021, a 35.9% increase from $750 million in Q3 2020, resulting in a reported return on equity (ROE) value of 17.6%. This was primarily driven by favourable market-related impacts from changes in the fair value of investment properties but also as a result of assumption changes and management actions.
