New with-profit sub-fund (NWPSF) changes in management policy include increase in the value of the reattributed estate (RIEESA) as a result of the transfer of the non-profit business from RIEESA to NWPSF of £1.1 billion.

Included within transfers, acquisitions and disposals is £550 million of cash consideration paid from life operations to other non-life operations within the Group for the sale of Aviva Life & Pensions Ireland Limited and Aviva
Powszechne Towarzystwo Emerytalne BZ WBK S.A.
IFRS Financial statements
Further analysis of the movement in the liabilities of the long-term business can be found in notes 41 and 42.
The analysis of movements in capital provides an explanation of the movement in available capital of the Group’s life business
for the year. This analysis is intended to give an understanding of the underlying causes of changes in the available capital of the
Group’s life business, and provides a distinction between some of the key factors affecting the available capital.
The negative shareholders’ funds balance within the UK with-profit funds arises in NWPSF as a result of regulatory valuation
and admissibility differences in the reattributed estate which is valued on a realistic regulatory basis compared to the disclosure on
an IFRS basis.
NWPSF is fully supported by the reattributed estate of £2,111 million (this is known as RIEESA) at 31 December 2014 (31
December 2013: £1,105 million) held within NPSF1 (a non-profit fund within UKLAP included within other UK life operations) in
the form of a capital support arrangement. This support arrangement will provide capital to NWPSF to ensure that the value of
assets of NWPSF are at least equal to the value of liabilities calculated on a realistic regulatory basis, therefore it forms part of the
NWPSF available capital resources.
The with-profit funds and the RIEESA use internal hedging to limit the impacts of equity market volatility.
In aggregate, the Group has at its disposal total available capital of £22.2 billion (2013: £18.6 billion), representing the
aggregation of the solvency capital of all of our businesses.
This capital is available to meet risks and regulatory requirements set by reference to local guidance and EU directives.
After effecting the year-end transfers to shareholders, the UK with-profit funds have available capital of £3.9 billion (2013: £3.2
billion) (including amounts held in RIEESA). Subject to certain conditions, the RIEESA capital can be used to write new non-profit
business, but the primary purpose of this capital is to provide support for the UK with-profit business. The capital (including RIEESA)
is comfortably in excess of the required capital margin, and therefore no further support is required by shareholders.
For the remaining life and general insurance operations, the total available capital amounting to £18.3 billion (2013: £15.4
billion) is higher than the minimum requirements established by regulators and, in principle, the excess is available to shareholders.
In practice, management will hold higher levels of capital within each business operation to provide appropriate cover for risk.
The total available capital of £22.2 billion is arrived at on the basis of local regulatory guidance, which evaluates assets and
liabilities prudently and includes the Group’s unallocated divisible surplus of overseas life operations. This is a limitation of the
Group Capital Statement which, to be more meaningful, needs to evaluate available capital on an economic basis and compare it
with the risk capital required for each individual operation, after allowing for the considerable diversification benefits that exist in
our Group.
Within the Aviva Group there exist intra-group arrangements to provide capital to particular business units. Included in these
arrangements is a subordinated loan of £200 million from Aviva Life Holdings UK Limited to Aviva Annuity Limited to provide
capital to support the writing of new business.
The available capital of the Group’s with-profit funds is determined in accordance with the ‘Realistic balance sheet’ regime
prescribed by the PRA’s regulations, under which liabilities to policyholders include both declared bonuses and the constructive
obligation for future bonuses not yet declared. The available capital resources include an estimate of the value of their respective
estates, included as part of the unallocated divisible surplus. The estate represents the surplus in the fund that is in excess of any
constructive obligation to policyholders. It represents capital resources of the individual with-profit fund to which it relates and is
available to meet regulatory and other solvency requirements of the fund and, in certain circumstances, additional liabilities may
arise.
The liabilities included in the balance sheet for the with-profit funds do not include the amount representing the shareholders’
portion of future bonuses. However, the shareholders’ portion is treated as a deduction from capital that is available to meet
regulatory requirements and is therefore shown as a separate adjustment in the capital statement.
In accordance with the PRA’s regulatory rules under its realistic capital regime, the Group is required to hold sufficient capital in
its UK life with-profit funds to meet the PRA capital requirements, based on the risk capital margin (RCM). The determination of
the RCM depends on various actuarial and other assumptions about potential changes in market prices, and the actions
management would take in the event of particular adverse changes in market conditions.

These realistic liabilities include the shareholders’ share of accrued bonuses of £(0.2) billion (31 December 2013: £0.1 billion). Realistic liabilities adjusted to eliminate the shareholders’ share of accrued bonuses are £33.0 billion (31
December 2013: £33.4 billion).These realistic liabilities make provision for guarantees, options and promises on a market consistent stochastic basis. The value of the provision included within realistic liabilities is £1.4 billion, £0.3
billion and £3.0 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively (31 December 2013: £1.4 billion, £0.2 billion and £2.5 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively).
Estimated realistic inherited estate at 31 December 2013 was £nil, £0.4 billion and £1.5 billion for NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF respectively.
This represents the reattributed estate (RIEESA) of £2.1 billion at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: £1.1 billion).The increase arises mainly from the transfer of non-profit business from RIEESA to NWPSF and recognition of the
value of this business in RIEESA.
The WPSF fund includes the Provident Mutual (PM) fund which has realistic assets and liabilities of £1.7 billion and therefore does not contribute to the realistic inherited estate.
Under the PRA regulatory regime, UK life with-profits business is required to hold capital equivalent to the greater of their
regulatory requirement based on EU directives (regulatory peak) and the PRA realistic bases (realistic peak) described above.
For UK non-participating business, the relevant capital requirement is the minimum solvency requirement determined in
accordance with PRA regulations. The available capital reflects the excess of regulatory basis assets over liabilities before deduction
of capital resources requirement.
For UK general insurance businesses, the relevant capital requirement is the minimum solvency requirement determined in
accordance with the PRA requirements.
For overseas businesses in the European Economic Area (EEA), Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore, the available capital and the
minimum requirement are calculated under the locally applicable regulatory regimes. The businesses outside these territories are
subject to the PRA rules for the purposes of calculation of available capital and capital resource requirement.
For fund management and other businesses, the relevant capital requirement is the minimum solvency requirement determined
in accordance with the local regulator’s requirements for the specific class of business.
The available capital resources in each regulated entity are generally subject to restrictions as to their availability to meet
requirements that may arise elsewhere in the Group. The principal restrictions are:
• (i) UK with-profits fund – (NWPSF, OWPSF and WPSF) – any available surplus held in each fund can be used to meet the
requirements of the fund itself, be distributed to policyholders and shareholders or in the case of NWPSF and OWPSF, transferred
via the capital support arrangement explained above (for OWPSF only to the extent support has been provided in the past). In
most cases, with-profit policyholders are entitled to at least 90% of the distributed profits while the shareholders receive the
balance. The latter distribution would be subject to a tax charge, which is met by the fund.
• (ii) UK non-participating funds – any available surplus held in these is attributable to shareholders. Capital in the non-profit
funds may be made available to meet requirements elsewhere in the Group subject to meeting the regulatory requirements of
the fund. Any transfer of the surplus may give rise to a tax charge subject to availability of tax relief elsewhere in the Group.
• (iii) Overseas life operations – the capital requirements and corresponding regulatory capital held by overseas businesses are
calculated using the locally applicable regulatory regime. The available capital resources in all these businesses are subject to local
regulatory restrictions which may constrain management’s ability to utilise these in other parts of the Group. In several business
units, Group companies and other parties jointly control certain entities; these joint venture operations may constrain
management’s ability to utilise the capital in other parts of the Group. Any transfer of available capital may give rise to a tax
charge subject to availability of tax relief elsewhere in the Group.
• (iv) General insurance operations – the capital requirements and corresponding regulatory capital held by overseas businesses
are calculated using the locally applicable regulatory regime. The available capital resources in all these businesses are subject to
local regulatory restrictions which may constrain management’s ability to utilise these in other parts of the Group. Any transfer of
available capital may give rise to a tax charge, subject to availability of tax relief elsewhere in the Group.
58 – Risk management
This note sets out the major risks our businesses and its shareholders face and describes the Group’s approach to managing these.
It also gives sensitivity analyses around the major economic and non-economic assumptions that can cause volatility in the Group’s
earnings and capital position.
(a) Risk management framework
The risk management framework (RMF) in Aviva forms an integral part of the management and Board processes and decisionmaking framework across the Group. The key elements of our risk management framework comprise risk appetite; risk
governance, including risk policies and business standards, risk oversight committees and roles and responsibilities; and the
processes we use to identify, measure, manage, monitor and report (IMMMR) risks, including the use of our risk models and stress
and scenario testing.
For the purposes of risk identification and measurement, and aligned to Aviva’s risk policies, risks are usually grouped by risk
type: credit, market, liquidity, life insurance, general insurance, asset management and operational risk. Risks falling within these
types may affect a number of metrics including those relating to balance sheet strength, liquidity and profit. They may also affect
the performance of the products we deliver to our customers and the service to our customers and distributors, which can be
categorised as risks to our brand and reputation or as conduct risk.
