Abstract
A new return and risk measure is presented that captures the whole Assets -Liabilities Runoff for an insurance company. It shows:
(1) that short duration allocations with higher yielding diversified assets are currently safer and more rewarding what refutes duration matching as a method to reduce risk,
(2) that a high Solvency 2 ratio is counterproductive and
(3) that the Solvency 2 framework falls short by being return agnostic.
