The development of standardized measures of institution‐wide volatility
exposures has so far lagged that for measures of asset price and interest‐rate

calculated and allocated in a multi‐year context. This is an important issue,
since strategic management and decision making within insurance companies
require a multi‐year time horizon (instead of a one‐year time horizon, as set
