The objective of ERM is not to eliminate risk. Rather, it is to manage risks within a framework that includes self-imposed limits. In setting limits for risk, the insurer should consider its solvency position and its risk tolerance. Limits should be set after careful consideration of corporate objectives and circumstances and, where appropriate, should take into account the projected outcomes of scenarios run using a range of plausible future business assumptions which reflect sufficiently adverse scenarios. Within these limits, risks can be reduced if this is cost effective, or increased, if justified by the expectation of enhanced returns and the availability of additional capital, without endangering the capacity of the insurer to meet its commitments to policyholders.
