Should Solvency II capital weightings reflect responsible investing? Lloyd’s CEO Inga Beale has hinted the Bank of England should consider different capital weightings under the Solvency II regime depending on what a company’s investment policy is. The weightings do not currently take into account if companies are involved in ‘green investments’ such as renewable energy.
