Noting that this is the 'old' regime.
For S2, the notes say you discount liability cash-flows with risk-free rate (allowing for illiquidity premium). No adjustments there for whether you back that asset with an equity or a bond (apart from illiquidity adj?)
Doesn't S2 mean less protection compared to old regime? As if the risk-free rate is 4% say and dividend yield is 2% then under S2 you would discount at higher rate hence lower reserves?
