1 Insurance Risk Study Brian Alvers 2014 Analytics Insights Conference July Prepared by Aon Benfield Analytics
2 Aon Benfield Insurance Risk Study Informed Parameterization of Risk Models Objective Insurance Risk Study determines credible global insurance volatility benchmarks for use in underwriting risk modeling Motivation: robust empirical quantification of all aspects of underwriting risk Systemic volatility parameters by country, by line Forty nine countries, 90% of global premium Results for eight core lines of business Available as input to any simulation tool Loss ratio correlation between lines within country Correlation between macroeconomic and insurance variables Aon Benfield approach to growth strategies Insurance profitability, economic variables, and demographics by country Detailed country profile of six individual insurance markets Recognized by major US rating agencies Published annually in September Eighth edition released in
3 Introduction Convergence of capital markets and insurance markets a reality for property catastrophe Pension fund, high-net worth individual, hedge fund and other capital Made it cheap to transfer catastrophe risk into the capital markets Exciting prospect: extension to other, largely non-catastrophe driven perils Requires capital market and investor acceptance of underlying risk modeling Just what the Aon Benfield Insurance Risk Study has been focused on since 2006 For the first time, we are reporting combined ratios by country in order to identify potential growth opportunities Plus six in-depth country studies Study is the cornerstone of Aon Benfield Analytics integrated and comprehensive risk modeling and risk assessment capabilities Reinsurance optimization framework ERM and economic capital modeling 3

10 Coefficient of Variation of Loss Ratio for Each Line by Country Reported CVs are of gross loss ratios, except for Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Uruguay and Venezuela, which are of net loss ratios. Accident & Health is defined differently in each country; it may include pure accident A&H coverage, credit A&H, and individual or group A&H. In the U.S., A&H makes up about 80 percent of the Other line of business with the balance of the line being primarily credit insurance. Property volatility statistics include catastrophe losses. 10

It varies between -1 and +1, with +1 indicating a perfect increasing linear relationship and -1 a perfect decreasing relationship. The closer the coefficient is to either +1 or -1 the stronger the linear association between the two variables. A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship whatsoever. All correlations in the Study are estimated using the Pearson sample correlation coefficient. In each table the correlations shown in bold are statistically different from zero at the 90 percent confidence level. 21

40 Characteristics of Property Cat Risk Natural Demand Property values and demographics have driven huge concentrations in the industry relative to even today s very adequate capital levels, which in turn drives a natural demand for risk transfer products. Loss Modeling The development of computer models for natural catastrophes, on-going since the late 1980 s, has created a generally accepted currency to value the loss potential a given risk portfolio. Modeling has been successful in part because natural catastrophe events are driven by laws of nature and are not social science phenomenon with changing, reflexive and reactive parameters and causes. Loss Triggers Modeling, and the physical drivers of loss, also allows for a range of non-indemnity loss triggers. Rating Agency Capital Rating agency capital models have separated out catastrophe risk and assigned a clearly defined capital charge specifically to cover it, unencumbered by complications of diversification benefits and other technicalities. The rating agency credit is often as much, or greater than, a company s own economic capital model credit. Credit Risk Purchasers of traditional covers are always concerned with the credit risk of the product they purchase, especially for top layers, as well as the historical volatility in pricing and availability. As a result, they are open to alternative solutions and find fully collateralized ILS structures very attractive. 40
41 Characteristics of Property Cat Risk, ctd. Default Profile The loss profile of high layer catastrophe programs mirrors bond default profiles very closely: there is a low probability of a loss, but given a loss a reasonably high probability of a total loss, producing a loss profile familiar to fixed income investors. Equity Tranche As a result of the loss profile, there is no need for an equity tranche in a cat bond. Equity tranches are a big complication in many (non-insurance) securitizations because they create a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) residual interest that generally remains on the balance sheet of the issuer. Uncorrelated Returns The loss profile of cat bonds is manifestly uncorrelated with other asset classes, at least a priori. Investors saw the attractiveness of the ILS asset class during the financial crisis (collateral trust problems notwithstanding, but these problems have now been solved). Quick Emergence Major property catastrophe risk events are headline news; the fact of a loss or potential loss emerges very quickly, indeed instantaneously for earthquakes. Quick Loss Settlement Losses from property catastrophe events generally reach their final settlement valuation in a matter of months. There are very few issues with late reported claims or slow loss development. 41
