Recital 36 a (new)
(36 a) Where the undertaking invests in debt instruments which have a better credit quality than the debt instruments contained in the representative portfolio for the calculation of the volatility adjustment, the volatility adjustment may overcompensate the loss of own funds caused by widening bond spreads and may lead to undue volatility in the own funds. With the objective to offset the artificial volatility caused by such over compensations, in these cases undertakings should be able to apply for a modification of the volatility adjustment that takes into account information on the undertaking specific investments in debt instruments.

Article 77d – paragraph 1 c (new)
1c. Insurance and reinsurance undertakings may, subject to prior approval by the supervisory authority, apply an undertaking-specific adjustment to this risk-corrected spread of the currency referred to in paragraph 3, under the condition that the information that is inherent to the relevant assets of the undertaking and that is reported by the undertaking in line with Article 35(1) to (4) is of sufficient quality to allow a robust and reliable calculation. This adjustment shall correspond to the lowest between 100% and the ratio of the risk- corrected spread calculated based on the undertaking’s portfolio of investments in debt instruments and the risk-corrected spread calculated based on the reference portfolio for the relevant currency. The risk-corrected spread based on the undertaking’s portfolio of investments in debt instruments shall be calculated in the same manner as the risk-corrected spread based on the reference portfolio for the relevant currency, but using undertaking- specific data on the weights and the average duration of the relevant sub- classes within the undertaking’s portfolio of investments in debt instruments for the relevant currency. Where the adjustment is lower than 100%, the volatility adjustment shall not be increased by a macrovolatility adjustment as referred to in paragraph 4.;
