Extract

1.1. Since its formation in 1974 the General Insurance Study Group has been considering various aspects of the solvency of general insurance companies and a number of papers have been produced for discussion at GISG Seminars. These have been deposited in the library at Staple Inn but have not been presented or made available to a wider audience in the profession.

1.2. At the Dublin Seminar in October 1981, three working parties reported on different aspects of solvency: technical risks, investment risks and reinsurance. These papers covered a wide field but lacked a coherent theme. During 1982 some work was set in hand to draw the threads together. This was not completed for the Stratford Seminar in November 1982 but there was by that time much interest in the Finnish solvency study which had recently been presented to the ASTIN Colloquium in Liège.
