Solvency II EU / UK

Solvency II is an EU directive creating a framework to harmonise the capital adequacy requirements of European insurance companies. INREV works to make sure that the data used to calculate the proposed standard capital requirement for real estate reflects the actual volatility of European real estate.

The UK government is currently reviewing Solvency II rules. INREV works to ensure an appropriate treatment for real estate investments funds.
