Ins., pension and st. guarantee sch
Insurance, pension and standardised guarantee schemes exists of six subcategories:
(a) non-life insurance technical reserves;
(b) life insurance and annuity entitlements;
(c) pension entitlements;
(d) claims of pension funds on pension managers;
(e) entitlements to non-pension benefits ; and
(f) provisions for calls under standardised guarantees.
Non-life insurance technical reserves: Non-life insurance technical reserves are financial claims that non-life insurance policy holders have against non-life insurance corporations in respect of unearned premiums and claims incurred.
Life insurance and annuity entitlements: Life insurance and annuity entitlements consist of financial claims that life insurance policy holders and beneficiaries of annuities have against corporations providing life insurance.
Pension entitlements: Pension entitlements comprise financial claims that current employees and former employees hold against either:
(a) their employers;
(b) a scheme designated by the employer to pay pensions as part of a compensation agreement between the employer and the employee; or
(c) an insurer.
Claims of pension funds on pension managers and entitlements to non-pension benefits. For the Netherlands this category only relates to claims of pension funds on pension managers, entitlements to non-pension benefits don't occur here. The claims of pension funds on pension managers are only applicable to corporate pension plans with defined benefit schemes. The positive and negative reserves are attributed to employers and not to the employees.

Provisions for calls under standardised guarantees are financial claims that holders of standardised guarantees have against institutional units providing them. Provisions relating to calls under standardised guarantees are prepayments of net fees and provisions to meet outstanding calls under standardised guarantees. Like provisions for prepaid insurance premiums and reserves, provisions for calls under standardised guarantees include unearned fees (premiums) and calls (claims) not yet settled. Standardised guarantees are guarantees that are issued in large numbers, usually for fairly small amounts, along identical lines. Such arrangements involve three parties: the borrower, the lender and the guarantor. Either the borrower or the lender may contract with the guarantor to repay the lender if the borrower defaults. Examples are export credit guarantees and student loan guarantees.
