A method to allocate capital in insurance to lines of business is developed based on an economic definition of solvency and the market value of the insurer balance sheet. Solvency , and its financial impact, is determinde by the value of the insolvency exchange option. The allocation of capìtal is determined using a complete markets' arbitrage-free model and, as a result, has desirable properties, such as the allocated capital "adds up" and is consistent with the economic value of the balance sheet assets and liabilities
