The Gates Principle of Future Disruption
“We always over-estimate the change that will occur in the next two years, and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.”
- Bill Gates
Preparing for change…
Proprietary and Confidential to Novarica, Inc. 4
• iPad, iPhone, Mobile apps
• Hadoop, NoSQL
• Viable driverless cars
• “The Internet of Things”
• More things than people connected to the Internet
• Social Media (Facebook and Twitter barely a year old)
• AI outside of the lab
Things that didn’t exist:
Looking back ten years to April 2007…
Preparing for change…
• Direct online sales of commercial insurance as a viable concept
• The idea of persistent low interest rates in the United States
• Widespread use of catastrophe bonds
• Silicon Valley VCs who could spell insurance
Proprietary and Confidential to Novarica, Inc. 5
Insurers are flipping the Gates Principle
Most insurers believe the industry will be radically different in ten years. But few believe it will be radically different in the short term.

Examples from Previously Overhyped FinTech Categories

Decade Trend Examples What the Industry Learned What Happened?
1990’s“Internet-Only Banks”
Security First, Wingspan
People like the convenience of online banking, but online-only banks don’t have mass appeal.
Start-ups acquired by tech providers or re-absorbed into major banks that funded them.
1990’sOnline Trading
E-Trade,Ameritrade
People like online trading, bigger segment than previously understood willing to trade advice for low prices.
Some sold their tech, some merged, some stayed independent and went head-to-head with existing discount brokers.
2000’sInnovativeLending
OnDeckIt’s possible to price loans using additional data/analytics beyond credit scores.
It’s still hard to sell loans. Some banks partnered to use models.
2010Mobile-Only banks
SimpleMobile/Social banking has niche appeal
Bought by major bank.

The ABCs of “InsureTech”
“InsureTech” isn’t really a single category of thing. There are four main categories that serve very different purposes.
Insurers should understand the potential values and threats of each different class of players
InsureTech

InsureTech
Proprietary and Confidential to Novarica, Inc. 16
Beneficial Bots
Drones, IoT, blockchain, and other new technology tools or platforms that can be leveraged to improve insurance processes and products.
• May change the cost basis of some key dramatically, e.g.:
• Drones and offshore oil rig inspections
• IoT and equipment monitoring
• Blockchain and… (TBD)
• Change in cost basis can change viability of pricing and products
Human Condition Safety(http://hpsafety.com), wearable technology to reduce worker injury. AIG is a strategic partner.
Meshify (http://meshify.com), industrial Internet of Things, acquired by Hartford Steam Boiler/Munich RE.

Creative Carriers
Innovative carriers designing new products or processes starting from customer need.
• Can supplement incumbent carrier main product offerings

Proprietary and Confidential to Novarica, Inc. 18
Digital Distributors
New channel for incumbent insurers
• Some competition with existing channels, but more likely to be opening up new market segments than eroding current channels
• Provide examples of best practices in addressing customer needs and expectations
• May become reasonably successful distributors if they can manage growth expectations appropriately; may be acquired by major brokers or intermediaries
• e.g. Evosure acquired by IVANS
CoverHound (http://coverhound.com), online P&C broker with investment from Chubb, American Family, and others.

What is “Predictive Analytics”?
While actuarial models predict risk across a book, predictive models are used to make specific determinations about individual cases (risks, claims, customers, etc.).
• Typically generate a score used to assess risk, indicate customer profitability, claim severity, or any other area.
• “Predict” both the future (underwriting risk) and the likelihood of pattern match (fraudulent claims).
• Current trends and attributes:
• Increased complexity and sophistication of modeling techniques;
• Breadth and depth of both internal and external data sources; and
• The use of a single "score" as the output of the analysis that can be used to guide decision-making – human or machine.
• Can be coupled with machine learning to improve models in real-time.

Predictive Analytics Deployment Rates
There is a predictive analytics gap between large and midsize insurers. Midsize insurers are conducting more pilots, but large insurers continue to invest to maintain their leads.
18% of insurers believe there is a high probability that predictive analytics will create material affects this year.
