Introduction

Purpose of case study– To demonstrate approaches to determine solvency provisions

for various risks– To illustrate concepts for advanced internal modeling– To highlight issues a factor-based approach must address

Page 4: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

4

Internal Modeling

Develop models to quantify various risks being considered– Analyze each risk separately

Generate scenarios in which liabilities vary only on the risk being measured

– Aggregate into total company solvency requirement

Focus on total solvency provisions– Sum of reserves and capital

Page 5: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

5

Internal Modeling

Model cash flows over time horizon appropriate to risk being modeled– Systematic (non-diversifiable) risks over entire term of liability– Non-systematic (diversifiable) risks over shorter horizon

Liabilities defined as present value of future liability cash flows discounted at risk-free rate

Solvency provision defined as difference between average liabilities of worst 1% of scenarios and best estimate liabilities– CTE(99) minus CTE(0)

approximately equivalent to 99.5th percentile

Page 6: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

Risks Analyzed in the Case Study

Mortality (systematic risks)– Mortality level risk– Mortality trend risk

Lapse (systematic risks)– Lapse level risk

Non-systematic insurance risks– Mortality volatility risk– Mortality catastrophe risk– Lapse volatility risk

Market risks– Credit risk– Mismatch risk

The Insurance Company

Medium-sized insurance company– term, whole life and immediate annuity non-participating

products

Assets managed at the segment level– segments for insurance products, annuity products and surplus– liabilities supported by high grade fixed income securities– surplus also invested in stocks

Various reinsurance arrangements in place

Mortality Risks

Level risk– misestimation of the mean

Trend risk– deterioration of the mean

Volatility risk– statistical fluctuations

Catastrophe risk– spike in mortality experience

Page 13: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

13

Mortality Level Risk

Misestimation of the mean

Mortality assumptions based on mortality studies and industry data– but mortality studies are based on observations that are volatile

In a mortality study, we may presume that historical observations represent the best estimate level of mortality– but it is possible that the observations are in the tail of the true

mortality distribution

Mortality Level Risk

The smaller the portfolio, the larger the range of possible outcomes for future mortality– might also partially rely on industry data

To evaluate mortality level risk, assume that observations were actually at, say, 99th percentile of the true distribution– by using inverse Normal Power approximation– or by simulating claims experience and using 99th percentile

For case study, revalue liabilities with mortality assumption distribution to calculate CTE(99) – or simply revalue liabilities at 99.5th percentile of assumptions

Mortality Trend Risk

Deterioration of the mean– misestimation of the trend

We can estimate a “best estimate trend” based on past observations and expert opinions– uncertain due to volatility in past observations– also due to systematic changes in the trend

Quantify trend uncertainty by revaluing liabilities under other trend assumptions

Mortality Volatility Risk

Statistical fluctuations around the expected assumptions– assume that the best estimate assumption is correct

Time horizon– level and trend risks were measured over the entire term of the liability– volatility risk can be diversified by management action

project out for a two year time horizon

Simulation approach taken for case study– analytic methods are also feasible to quantify volatility risk

One-time spike in mortality experience– for example, Spanish Flu

Highly subjective

Deterministic approach taken for case study– doubling of mortality for one year

Interaction between catastrophe risk and volatility risk– capital for catastrophe risk is difference between CTE(99) at higher

mortality and CTE(99) at normal mortality

26

Lapse Risks

Can be analyzed in similar fashion to mortality risks

But several other factors to consider:– lapse rates may be correlated with economic assumptions for some

portfolios very difficult to model

– lapse assumption highly dependent on product and how it is sold– impact to company can vary for different policy durations and products

Case study analyzes inaccuracies due to statistical error

Page 27: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

27

Lapse Risks

Level risk– Misestimation of the best estimate

Volatility risk– Statistical fluctuations

Page 28: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

28

Lapse Level Risk

Misestimation of the best estimate

From lapse studies, we can determine best estimate lapse rates and their standard deviations– we can assume a distribution for the lapse rates and solve for lapse

rates at alternate percentiles e.g. assume lapses are normally distributed and grade from 10% to

1% over 12 years– 90th percentile lapse assumption may be 12.4% grading to 1.2%– 10th percentile lapse assumption may be 8.7% grading to 0.8%

Need to account for policyholder behavior / economic environment

Statistical error may not always be one-sided

Market Risks

Mismatch risk– ALM risk

Asset default risk– credit risk

Page 32: CS-12 IAA Progress on RBC Life Case Study Les Rehbeli

32

Mismatch Risk

ALM risk– the risk that best estimate asset cash flows do not match best estimate

liability cash flows– reinvestment and disinvestment risk– the risk that the market price of assets changes unfavorably at a time

when those assets need to be liquidated

Case study projects best estimate asset and liability liabilities under many future reinvestment rate scenarios

Effects of Reinsurance

Factor-based systems cannot fully capture the characteristics of the risks a company faces– especially when reinsurance is used

Case study analyzes six reinsurance arrangements:– YRT 45% coinsurance at neutral reinsurance rates– YRT excess reinsurance at neutral insurance rates– YRT 90% coinsurance at neutral reinsurance rates– YRT 45% coinsurance at low reinsurance rates– YRT excess reinsurance at low insurance rates– Quota share

Conclusions

Advanced models can be developed to better understand the net risks faced by an insurance company

These models can be used to develop a standardized approach for risks that are well understood and for which there is ample historical data– difficult to accurately capture the impact of reinsurance

Must exercise care for risks not modeled in the case study:– impact of policyholder behavior– complex options in policies– complex interactions between risks
