An insurer's asset-liability management policy must—

(a)clearly specify the nature, role and extent of the insurer's asset-liability management activities and their relationship with product development, pricing functions and investment management;
(b)co-ordinate the management of risks associated with assets and liabilities and the complexity of those risks;
(c)recognise the interdependence between the insurer's assets and liabilities and take into account the correlation of risk between different asset classes and the correlations between different products and business lines; and
(d)take into account any off-balance sheet exposures that the insurer may have and the contingency that risks transferred may revert to the insurer.
