Introduction
A modeling framework that captures important risks that we may have been missing.
Important applications:–Impact of reinsurance, especially casualty–Cross-lines correlation and whole company models:

Getting the Structure Right
Catastrophe models “understand” the risk that’s being modeled.–The most dangerous risks are those that act in a
correlated way on accumulated exposure.
We require a model structure for other types of underwriting risk that reflect the impact of correlation and accumulation.
7
Some Historical Casualty Killers
Runaway Trends– WC: 1970 through 1990 (California, Texas, etc.)– Med Mal: Late 1960’s through early 1980’s (e.g. NY) and then again
in the 1990’s.– All casualty 1970’s through early 1980’s.
Extended Downcycles– E.g., early 1980’s, late 1990’s
Latent Losses– E.g. asbestos, environmental, construction defects
For the risk model to be meaningful, these types of risk must be captured.

Systemic Risks Are Crucial
Systemic Risks:–Difficult to Measure–Affect all LOB’s -- but–Greatest Impact in Casualty
Systemic Risks Accumulate
10
Elements of Systemic Risk
Time Related Risk–Trend and Development Parameters.–Changing Trends –Simultaneously impact new business and accumulated reserves.
Market Related Risk
Also: Casualty catastrophes–But we’re not yet modeling these.
11
Casualty Markets are More Volatile
Price is driven by the lowest estimated costs.
Long tails increase: –Risk of misestimated costs.–Positive cash flows.
Therefore:
Long tail casualty market cycles are the most severe.
12
Components of RiskOther than diversifying process risk Limitations of the sample
Uncertainty in other analysis parameters– Trend factors– Loss development factors– Payment patterns
Market Risks (pricing / underwriting)– Imperfect exposure data / on-level process– Actual prices achieved differ from targets– Risk quality changes (underwriting selection)
External Conditions– Changes in inflation– Changes in insurance loss trends / social inflation– Other economic conditions (line specific)
Differences in exposure between the data and the future period
13
Summarized Elements of Systemic Risk
Time Related Risk (i.e. the tail)–Trend and Development Parameters.–Changing Trends –Simultaneously impact new business and accumulated reserves.
Market Related Risk (i.e. the cycle)
Also: Casualty catastrophes
14
The Risk Factor Model Model Structure (one LOB, one AY)
Nominal Incremental Paid for accident year i = AYi for a single simulation.
Each RV is sampled once per simulation.
RV’s are mutually independent
AYi = A x B x C(Fi-E) x Di
E : Average date of payment in historical data
Fi : Average date of payment for period i
15
Risk Factor Model Components: “Process+” Risk
AYi = A x B x C(Fi-E) x Di
Input Loss Distribution
Reflects both process risk and sample-size related parameter risk–The data “sample” in this case is usually claims at
estimated ultimate values, trended to the appropriate prospective level.
–Reflects risks that typically do not correlate across lines of business
Alternatively, A can be a placeholder for output from another model.
16
Risk Factor Model Components: Accident Year Deviation
AYi = A x B x C(Fi-E) x Di
Structured as an independent random variable multiplied by the overall aggregate losses
Multiply B by expected frequency in a frequency/severity model.
Parametric distribution – Usually mean 1.0
May be considered to reflect:– Market risk (pricing / underwriting)– Non-diversifying frequency risk (contagion)– Differences between past and future exposures
17
Risk Factor Model Components: Trend/Development Parameter Risk
AYi = A x B x C(Fi-E) x D
Structured as an annualized error
Annual error is compounded from the average date of payment in the experience data to each future payment– The period includes both the “development” and “trend” periods– The structure is appropriate for both trend parameter error and
development parameter error
C ~ N(1,σ) or C ~ L-N(0,σ) are reasonable choices.
Compounded error factor for each payment is multiplied by the payment

Risk Factor Model Components: Future Trend Process Risk
AYi = A x B x C(Fi-E) x Di
The result of a time series model
The dynamic risk component -- reflects unpredictable changes in future trends / external conditions
Can also be considered as a reflection of specification error
Future trend deviation is modeled as a time series:–First order auto-regressive (AR(1))–The simplest mean-reverting time series (reverts to mean of
zero)

Accumulated Risk
Trend and development risks accumulate over many years of underwriting.
Extended down cycles accumulate losses over several years of underwriting.
This appears as reserve risk.
Risk decisions you make now affect reserves for years to come.
The business you write this year absorbs capital for years to come.
25

“As-If” Reserves: An Approach to Accumulated Risk
Reserves “As If” the company had been writing the business consistently over time.
Equivalent to capital to be allocated in the future.
Can reflect the correlated risks on accumulated exposure.
Can measure the impact of reinsurance over time.
27
Accumulation of Systemic Risks
Trend and development parameter risk is identical (100% correlated) between the new AY and the reserves.
Risk of changing trends is identical (100% correlated) between the new AY and the reserves.
The model for changing trend risk can also be a surrogate for latent losses and emerging exposures.
Market risk is partially correlated between successive AY’s.
