          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs):</by>  SAFA, through its insurance division SAICORP, maintains solvency reserves or free reserves in its Insurance Fund 1 to meet potential risks such as catastrophes, random fluctuations in individual claims experience, unanticipated trends or changes in the collective claims experience and investment and economic risks.</text>
        <text id="20120529b22ac392c40540a980000387">The level of free reserves is determined by an actuarial based calculation based on several risk components.</text>
        <text id="20120529b22ac392c40540a980000388">SAFA aims to maintain its actual level of free reserves within a target range of 65 per cent to 135 per cent of the actuarially determined level.</text>
        <text id="20120529b22ac392c40540a980000389">Any change to this target range requires the Treasurer's approval.</text>
