Abstract

Das prinzipienorientierte Aufsichtssystem von Solvency II erkennt als zentralen Grundsatz, dass nach dem Prinzip "Substanz über Form" die ökonomische Wirkung eines Risikotransferinstrumentes und nicht die formale Einbettung desselben als Entscheidungskriterium der Berücksichtigungsfähigkeit gilt. Dieser Grundsatz trägt den Entwicklungen auf dem Rückversicherungsmarkt insoweit Rechnung, da dadurch auch alternative Formen des vt. Risikotransfers grundsätzlich Anerkennung finden können, wenn sie den Anerkennungsvoraussetzungen der aufsichtsrechtlichen Vorgaben entsprechen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Aufbau und die Mechanik dieser alternativen Formen des vt. Risikotransfer insbesondere eine (ökonomisch) abweichende Bewertung hinsichtlich des vt. Basisrisikos und Ausfallrisikos bedingen können. Kern der vorliegenden Arbeit ist deshalb die Prüfung, inwieweit die Vorgaben von Solvency II diese Unterschiedlichkeit zur Berücksichtigung von vt. Basisrisiko ökonomisch adäquat abbilden. Dabei wird dargestellt, dass insbesondere eine nach Solvency II im Vergleich zum Marktverständnis weit gefasste Definition der Begrifflichkeit sowie eine uneinheitliche Anwendung innerhalb der Gesetzestexte der einheitlichen Berücksichtigung potentiell zuwiderlaufen oder uneinheitliche Prüfungserfordernisse an ökonomisch gleich wirkende Instrumente stellen. Darüber wird hergeleitet, dass die Vorgaben nach Solvency II Regelungen enthalten, welche die ökonomische Wirkung des vt. Basisrisikos (z. B. aus Währungsinkongruenzen) inadäquat widerspiegeln.
