volatility all played roles

(1) Includes policies written by Citizens Property Insurance Corp. (Florida) and Citizens Property Insurance Corp. (Louisiana), Alabama Insurance Underwriting Association, Mississippi Windstorm Underwriting Association, North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association and South Carolina Wind and Hail Underwriting Association. Other southeastern states have wind pools in operation and their data may not be included in this chart. Based on the HO-3 homeowner package policy for owner-occupied dwellings, 1 to 4 family units. Provides “all risks” coverage (except those specifically excluded in the policy) on buildings and broad named-peril coverage on personal property, and is the most common package written.

(2) The Texas Department of Insurance developed home insurance policy forms that are similar but not identical to the standard forms. In addition, due to the Texas Windstorm Association (which writes wind-only policies) classifying HO-1, 2 and 5 premiums as HO-3, the average premium for homeowners insurance is artificially high.

Note: Average premium=Premiums/exposure per house years. A house year is equal to 365 days of insured coverage for a single dwelling. The NAIC does not rank state average expenditures and does not endorse any conclusions drawn from this data.Source: ©2014 National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

Mississippi ranked as the 5th most expensive state for homeowners insurance in 2012, with an average expenditure of $1,314.

Distribution of Nonlife Premium: Industrialized vs. Emerging Markets, 2013

Sources: Swiss Re sigma No.4/2013; Insurance Information Institute research.

Emerging market’s share of nonlife premiums increased to 19.5% in 2013, up from 17.3% in 2012 and 14.3% in 2009. The share of premiums written in the $2 trillion global nonlife market remains much larger (80.5%) but continues to shrink.

The financial crisis and sluggish recovery in the major insurance markets will accelerate the expansion of the emerging market sector

Additional Disruptors

“Peak Auto”

Peak vehicle ownership per person/household likely already reached

Less interest in auto ownership among youth

Preference of youth to live in urban areas, use public transit

The “Sharing Economy”: Vehicles & Homes On Demand

Vehicles on Demand: Fewer vehicles likely need in the future as the technologies of driverless vehicles and ride sharing (e.g., Uber, Lyft)

Dwellings on Demand: Airbnb

Page 44: What Really Keeps Insurance CEOs Awake at Night? Trends, Challenges & Opportunities Ole Miss Insurance Symposium Oxford, MS March 19, 2015 Download at

75

Additional Disruptors (continued)

Disintermediation

For commodity products, the power resides with whoever has contact with the customer

Fear that tech firms such as Google or Apple or a major retailer such as Walmart or Amazon could disintermediate agency forces (or insurers themselves if regulatory environment were to permit)

Big Data

Ushering a new era of advanced/predictive analytics which will presumably improve underwriting a pricing

Could drive down pricing but also open up new risks to underwrite

Page 45: What Really Keeps Insurance CEOs Awake at Night? Trends, Challenges & Opportunities Ole Miss Insurance Symposium Oxford, MS March 19, 2015 Download at

76

Additional Disruptors (continued)

The Digital Economy

Increasing share of GDP is intangible

Insuring of “bits and bytes” and associated liability risks is in its infancy compared to “brinks and mortar” products

Reduced Relevancy of Insurance

Many consumers, given the option, will forego the purchase of insurance (p/c and life/retirement)

Mispreception of risk, cost, product complexity, moral hazard due to government subsidies, etc., are all factors

Consumer perceptions need to adjusted

U.S. health care expenditures have been on a relentless climb for most of the past half century, far outstripping population growth,

inflation of GDP growth

From 1965 through 2013, US health care expenditures had

increased by 69 fold. Population growth over the same period increased by a factor of just 1.6. By 2022, health spending will have

increased 119 fold.

Recession2-Yr Yield10-Yr Yield

Yields on 10-Year U.S. Treasury Notes have been essentially below 5% for a full decade.

Since roughly 80% of P/C bond/cash investments are in 10-year or shorter durations, most P/C insurer portfolios will have low-yielding bonds for years to come.

U.S. Treasury yields plunged to historic lows in 2013. Longer-

term yields rebounded then sank fell again.

in longer maturities while short term interest rate increases are unlikely until mid-to-late 2015

Auto/Light Truck Sales, 1999-2020F

Source: U.S. Department of Commerce; Blue Chip Economic Indicators (2/15 and 10/14); Insurance Information Institute.

New auto/light truck sales fell to the lowest level since the late 1960s. Forecast for 2014-15 is

still below 1999-2007 average of 17 million units, but a robust recovery is well underway.

Job growth and improved credit market conditions will boost auto sales in

2014 and beyond

Truck purchases by contractors are

especially strong

Yearly car/light truck sales will likely continue at current levels, in part replacing cars that were held onto in 2008-12. New vehicles will generate more physical damage insurance coverage but will be more expensive to

repair. PP Auto premium might grow by 5% - 6%.

Sales have returned to pre-

crisis levels

Insurers Are Continue to See Meaningful Exposure Growth in the Wake of the “Great Recession” Associated with Home Construction: Construction Risk

Exposure, Surety, Commercial Auto; Potent Driver of Workers Comp Exposure

New home starts plunged 72% from 2005-2009; A net

annual decline of 1.49 million units, lowest since records began

in 1959

Job growth, low inventories of existing homes, low mortgage rates and demographics should continue to stimulate new home construction
