  49. Slide 49: Risk margins – key concepts

    RISK MARGINS – KEY CONCEPTS • Outcomes of risks from individual policies are unknown when underwritten • However, when many similar risks are underwritten, expected results of total portfolio become more predictable • Claims are driven by: – Frequency (or probability) of a claim event occurring, and

  52. Slide 52: Quantifying risk margins

    QUANTIFYING RISK MARGINS • Quantified by use of a risk measure, generally Coefficient of Variation (CoV) = Std. Dev. / Mean • Size of CoV indicates uncertainty of risk for same PoS • A higher CoV = a higher risk margin • Hierarchy of CoVs exists based on relative variability by class • Generally, th

  56. Slide 56: Capital and risk – a simple illustration

    CAPITAL AND RISK - A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION Assume an insurer commits to pay claims based on the roll of a dice - 100 rolls representing the uncertain underwriting results for 100 “policies” : If 1 is result, insurer pays a claim of $1 If 2 is result, insurer pays a claim of $2 • etc. • If 5 is result,

  57. Slide 57: What should the liability in the balance sheet be before the dice is rolled?

    WHAT SHOULD THE LIABILITY IN THE BALANCE SHEET BE BEFORE THE DICE IS ROLLED? • Insurer’s maximum / minimum payout is $500 / Nil • Insurer’s expected payout is $250 • Assume the premium has been set at $3 per throw – does that impact the liability? • Assume for simplicity that there are no operationa

  58. Slide 58: The cost of capital concept

    THE “COST OF CAPITAL” CONCEPT • The insurer will also need at least $200 of capital (net assets) available for one year before receiving the $300 premium on day one, to avoid the risk of insolvency • Assume the risk free interest rate is 4% p.a. • If investors require a total return on equity of 10%

  59. Slide 59: The pre-claim liability will be

    THE PRE-CLAIM LIABILITY WILL BE • $300 if using unearned premium only • $240 (=$250 / 1.04) if using central estimate only • $252 (=$262 / 1.04) if using 75% PoA • $262 (=$272 / 1.04) if using 90% PoA • $260 if using the “Cost of Capital” concept PAGE 59

  60. Slide 60: Profit of insurer

    PROFIT OF INSURER • $50 “Expected” average profit over whole process, plus investment earnings on funds held over 1 year • $Nil on Day 1 under AASB 1023 using unearned premium • $48 on Day 1 for 75% PoA under IASB proposal • $38 on Day 1 for 90% PoA under IASB proposal • $40 on Day 1 if using the “C

  61. Slide 61: What is the emerging IASB view?

    WHAT IS THE EMERGING IASB VIEW? • Reported profitability should be based on outstanding claims liabilities that are based on – Realistic central estimates – Risk margins calibrated by real cost of capital employed to support liabilities rather than by PoA (so a target of, say, 90% PoA becomes less r

  62. Slide 62: Linking PoA with IASB exit value

    LINKING PoA WITH IASB “EXIT” VALUE • Compare for typical portfolios – Net present value (at cost of capital in excess of risk free rate) of requirement to hold funds in excess of the central estimate up to the 99.5th percentile of outstanding claims (assumed solvency level) – This will be equal to t

  64. Slide 64: Linking PoA with exit value – conclusions

    LINKING PoA WITH EXIT VALUE – CONCLUSIONS • PoA equivalent to cost of capital varies significantly by duration of business (and CoV) – Around 60% - 70% for short-tail – Around 70% - 80% for medium-tail – Around 80% - 90% for long-tail • Average over a ‘balanced’ portfolio will be around 75% PoA • Fo

  65. Slide 65: The cost of capital impact

    THE “COST OF CAPITAL” IMPACT • Depending upon interpretation and using a 75% average PoA, IAG’s outstanding claim liabilities as at 30 June 2007 could change From $6,799m Undiversified Diversified To $6,504m $6,188m Change $295m to $611m PAGE 65
