We recommend that the full details of each Club’s announcement be reviewed carefully. It is also relevant to note that some Clubs apply the GI to the Advanced Call whereas others apply it to the Estimated Total Call so the numbers announced do need to be carefully understood to be compared properly. .
In addition, some Clubs apply the GI to any additional Group Reinsurance costs (which are now finalized with substantial reductions) and there are also changes in the way that GXL premium is being accounted for which could have a negative effect on records. The point being, the headline numbers should not be taken in isolation as the comparison is not straight forward and each Member’s position needs to be reviewed.
