Question

Guaranteed level information. For eg, GMAB and GMDB guaranteed level could be based on Account Value or Single premium base, the the level is around 1. For GMWB and GMIB, guarantee level is a rate and around 5% for example.

Sometimes, it is the roll up rate that is guaranteed, in this case, we put the roll up rate. It makes the guaranteed level information very uncomparable between different type of guarantees. Is the logic of putting guarantee level fine? 

EIOPA answer

We confirm that the logic of putting guarantee level is correct. We are aware that it makes the guaranteed level information not completely comparable between different type of guarantees.
