Insurance Regulatory Capital (IRC) offers subordinated debt as a capital solution to mid-sized insurance companies. Sub debt is eligible as regulatory capital under Solvency II and is specifically constructed to be a hybrid instrument between debt and equity. 

As such, insurance companies receive all the benefits of debt (tax deductible, fixed rate, long term but finite) without the drawbacks of equity (dilution of control, expensive, high administration, non-flexible).  In addition, under new Solvency II guidelines sub debt instruments are designed to alleviate financial pressure in times of stress.  With the Solvency II deadline looming demand for subordinate debt is increasing rapidly.

IRC’s subordinated debt product is tailored to match the requirements set out in the regulations for Tier 2 capital under Solvency II.
