OSFI continues to update and amend the MCCSR guideline in response to emerging issues. The capital requirements for segregated fund guarantees were amended in 2008 and the Company expects that the requirements will increase for new business issued after December 31, 2010. The extent of the increase in requirements has not been finalized and discussions with OSFI are on-going. The Company expects further changes in segregated fund guarantee requirements, likely in 2013, that will impact its existing business. The impact of these future changes is uncertain.
