In this article, the authors provide an update on the changes with respect to the future treatment of risk-absorbing capital instruments under the revised Swiss insurance regulations, following the conclusion of the partial revision of the regulatory framework for the supervision of Swiss insurance undertakings earlier this year. This article serves as an update to the authors’ previous article on risk-absorbing capital instruments, which was published in CapLaw 3/2022 based on an earlier draft of the revised Ordinance on the Supervision of Private Insurance Undertakings.
