What to Expect/Learning Objectives • Understand current risk financing challenges for 2014 including terrorism legislation coming up at year-end, updates to Property modelling, collateral, and Reputation Risk. • Proven, cutting edge financing solutions and new tools from real life case studies. • Framework for risk financing communications with senior management.
Investing in your property exposure data may pay big dividends as CAT Models play a bigger role in pricing your property insurance • Insurance underwriters use several methods to come up with premium • One method for CAT exposed accounts is to multiply the RMS Annual Average Loss by a multiplier • Improving the RMS data quality typically improves the average annual loss • RMS typically defaults to a worse assumption if data is unavailable • A typical range that insurers may multiply the AAL by is 1.5 to 1.7 using 1.6 • EQ AAL down $1.5M is $2.4M less cat premium loading • Windstorm AAL down $300,000 is $0.5M less cat premium loading

Reputation Risk: • Changing internal and external environmental factors • Can create division between stakeholder expectations and company behaviors • Reputation risk evolves when stakeholder expectations are not met • Reputation risk can expand the risk, volatility and cost of other operational risks
Reputation Risk • A strong reputation already does not necessarily protect the firm in tough times. • Instead, organizations with strong reputations already may suffer more consequences of stakeholder disappointment. • Case Study: BP • Source: Corporate Executive Board
Caught Off Guard • Even the most respected companies can be caught off guard when there is a shift in public sentiment. • Case study: Cadbury Schwepps “Get Active” promotion. • Source: Corporate Executive Board

Market uncertainty: Terrorism backstop (TRIPRA) • Current version of federal terrorism backstop (TRIPRA) expires 12/31/2014 • Casualty lines impacted: • General and excess liability • Workers compensation • Market focus on workers compensation due to aggregation risk • Conventional wisdom suggests TRIPRA will be renewed with greater risk borne by private sector

TRIPPA Reauthorization: Which direction will it go? • The Right: • Pulling for higher private sector share • The Left: • Pulling for continuation of public sector support
