Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV)

a refinement and closer specification of the previous principles of European Embedded Value (EEV). In particular, the market-consistent calculation method is intended to bring about better comparability. The MCEV is established using risk-neutral assumptions in relation to the expected investment income and the discounting approach. In addition, the swap curve is adopted as a risk-neutral interest rate structure.
