Question
In the case of unit linked regular premium policies (which exclude future premiums and become paid-up from the valuation date), should full regular premium expenses be allowed for after this countract boundary applies, or should a "Paid Up/PUP" expense assumption be set up?
EIOPA answer
Undertakings should do a projection and allocation of expenses that considers realistic assumptions on future business, i.e. even if full expenses should be considered, they should be apportioned between existing and future business.
Where this is consistent with expense assumptions for contracts in paid-up state, paid-up expenses can be set up.
