  1. The Actuarial Profession▀ making financial sense of the future Cycle survival kit II Working party members Philip Archer-Lock Ian HilderStuart Brown Steven Fisher David Simmons Richard Doman Kevin Wenzel (Chairman)

  2. Agenda • Recap on work from last year • Update of some results • Report on further investigations

  3. Recap • What do we mean by the reserving cycle?

  4. Recap

  5. Recap Conclusions we came to: • There is a reserving cycle in the UK • Apparently correlated with the underwriting cycle • Actuarial methods can generate cycles • Rating indices understate size of the underwriting cycle

  6. Update • This year focus solely on Motor & Liability • FSA data updated to 2002 year end • Data provided by Standard & Poor’s Systhesis

  7. Further investigations • How long for the cycle to flatten? • Impact on total reserves? • Is it a few isolated companies? • Impact of claims inflation? • Further investigations of the chain ladder.

  18. How long for the cycle to flatten • It takes several years • Some years get worse before getting better.

  19. Impact on total reserves?

  20. Impact on total reserves • Previous graphs shown by origin years • Impact on a company is mixture of all past origin years: • some overstated • some understated

  21. Isolated companies?

  22. Isolatedcompanies? So not an isolated company on motor, • what about other lines of business?

  23. Impact of claims inflation?

  24. Claims inflation • Is claims inflation driving the cycle? • Implicit chain ladder assumption of future inflation being an average of past inflation • Try hypothetical data with RPI inflation

  25. Claims inflation • Changing levels of inflation affect the results of methods we use • Not the sole cause of a cycle but could be a contributing factor • ACPC or inflation adjusted methods?

  26. Further investigation of the chain ladder

  27. Further investigation of the Chain Ladder • The chain ladder method reflected the cycle seen in the company figures • Did it under / over estimate for the same origin and development years as the companies? • If so, why did it turn out to be wrong? • Could we have seen the problem at the time?

  33. Could we have seen the problem? • The problem was a change in (future) development pattern. • Are there differences in the past patterns that could have predicted this? • One possible diagnostic was to consider paid/incurred %
