Total investments

1 ClearView has contracted PIMCO to assist it with asset liability management. The mandate is to manage the shareholder funds that match the insurance liabilities (including inflation), claims and capital reserves and surplus capital in the life company. At 30 June 2024 an investment of $429.0 million including $422.3 million in interest securities and $6.7 million in cash (30 June 2023: $413.4 million including $393.7 million in interest securities and $19.7 million in cash) was held in the PIMCO funds. 2 On 5 November 2020, the Company issued $75 million subordinated, unsecured notes to wholesale investors. These are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations of the Company. Interest accrues on at a variable rate equal to the three-month Bank Bill Swap Rate (‘BBSW’) plus a margin of 6% per annum, until maturity, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company utilised $30 million of the proceeds of the Notes for regulatory capital purposes for its regulated life insurance entity (ClearView Life). ClearView Life pays the Company interest on the $30 million subordinated on the same terms as outlined above.

Financial instruments

Recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the date the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, financial assets are classified as and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and amortised cost. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire, or are transferred. A transfer occurs when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are passed to an unrelated third party. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
