AM Best has released newly updated tables of net capital charges associated with a representative sample of mortgage-related transactions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s credit risk transfer (CRT) programs—Freddie Mac’s Agency Credit Insurance Structure (ACIS) and Fannie Mae’s Credit Insurance Risk Transfer (CIRT). These tables also highlight some of the key components of the factor-based method used to calculate net capital charges in the Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) model.

“Updated Net Capital Charge Tables for ACIS/CIRT Reinsurance Transactions”
The net capital charge of CRT transactions is represented as B5m—net loss and LAE reserves risk—in the net required capital formula that is part of BCAR. It is based on unexpected losses and premiums associated with the transactions and is represented as a fraction of the original exposures. For this Best’s Special Report, “Updated Net Capital Charge Tables for ACIS/CIRT Reinsurance Transactions,” AM Best has selected approximately half the 160 CRT transactions effective through June 2023 to calculate the net capital charges associated with individual layers of the CRT transactions.
