superávit pasivo

English translation: suprplus liability

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Insurance
Spanish term or phrase: superávit pasivo
The full phrase is 'Asignación superávit pasivo'
I have very little context I'm afraid as the translation consists of the literal headings on a table. I have no other context other than that they refer to insurance. I presume that it is some kind of breakdown or statement.

Any help you can give is much appreciated.
