But the capital provided by the owners is what is used to backstop the insurance and ensure the pot always exists. The amount of capital needed is calculated by the actuaries but supplied by the owners.
This is why I’m confused why you listed both an interest on capital and an actuarial adjustment.
Each product needs to sustain itself (risk+actuarial adjustment), pay for itself (admin and distribution costs) and give a return to the owners. You can’t use the actuarial adjustment as return of capital or the company is going to fail eventually.
The owners of the capital want the pool to sustain itself and a return of capital forever. You cant use the same money for both.
