There is a multitude of business model objectives in practice which qualify for
measurement at FVOCI. For example, a bank may hold a portfolio of financial assets for
liquidity purposes in stress scenarios, but the regulator requires the bank to demonstrate
the liquidity of the assets by regularly selling significant volumes of financial assets.
Alternatively, an insurance company may hold a portfolio of debt instruments to fund its
portfolio of insurance contract liabilities and, as the liabilities change over time, the insurer
needs to rebalance the portfolio of debt instruments, resulting in frequent and significant
sales. In both these cases, holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling financial
assets are an integral part of the business model. Hence, the portfolios in these examples
are measured at FVOCI.
