Basic Track III 1999 CLRS September 1999 Scottsdale, Arizona
THIS SESSION WILL DISCUSS I. Expected Loss Ratio Techniques II. Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses III. Unallocated Loss Adjustment Expenses IV. Schedule P - Part 1 Summary
EXPECTED LOSS RATIO TECHNIQUE EXPECTED LOSS RATIO (ELR) The anticipated ratio of projected ultimate losses to earned premiums. Sources: (1) Pricing assumptions. (2) Historical data such as Schedule P. (3) Industry data.
EXPECTED LOSS RATIO TECHNIQUE EXAMPLE OF ELR USING PRICING ASSUMPTIONS Commissions 20% Taxes 5% General Expenses 15% Profit (2%) Total 38% Amount to pay for loss & loss expense ---- 62% of premium

BORNHUETTER-FERGUSON APPROACH APPLIED TO A NON INSURANCE EXAMPLE Given the following, how many home runs will Ken Griffey, Jr. hit this year? • He has hit 20 home runs through 40 games. • There are 160 games in a season Three pieces of information are need to perform a B-F projection: • Expected Ultimate Value • Cumulative Loss Development Factor • Amount Incurred To Date The three pieces of information for our example : • Before the season started, how many home runs would we have expected Ken Griffey, Jr. to hit? Expected Ultimate Value = 40 • To project season total from current statistics, multiply the current statistics by 4 since the season is 1/4 completed. Cumulative Loss Development Factor = 4.000 • He has already hit 20 home runs. Amount Incurred To Date = 20
BORNHUETTER-FERGUSON APPROACH APPLIED TO A NON INSURANCE EXAMPLE B-F Projection: Ultimate Value = (Expected Value*IBNR Factor)+(Inc. to Date) IBNR Factor = 1.000 - (1.000/LDF) = 1.000 - (1.000/4.000) = .75 (In Other Words, 75% of the season is left to be played) Ultimate Value = (40 * .75) + 20 = 50 The B-F Method projects that Ken Griffey, Jr. will hit 50 home runs this year. Games 0-40 Games 41-80 Games 81-120 Games 121-160 20 Home Runs 10 Home Runs 10 Home Runs 10 Home Runs Comparison of B-F with Two Other Methods Incurred Loss Development Method Ultimate Value = Incurred To Date * Cumulative LDF = 20 * 4.000 = 80 Home Runs Games 0-40 Games 41-80 Games 81-120 Games 121-160 20 Home Runs 20 Home Runs 20 Home Runs 20 Home Runs Expected Loss Ratio Method Ultimate Value = Expected Value = 40 Home Runs Games 0-40 Games 41-80 Games 81-120 Games 121-160 10 Home Runs 10 Home Runs 10 Home Runs 10 Home Runs

EXPECTED LOSS RATIO TECHNIQUESReserves Based on ELR and Reported Incurred(BORNHUETTER-FERGUSON) ADVANTAGES Compromises between loss development and expected loss ratio methods Avoids overreaction to unexpected incurred losses to date Suitable for new or volatile line of business Can be used with no internal loss history Easy to use DISADVANTAGES Assumes that case development is unrelated to reported losses Relies on accuracy of expected loss ratio and reporting pattern Less responsive to losses incurred to date Relies on accuracy of earned premium
ALAE RESERVING METHODS ALLOCATED LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE (ALAE) Previous Definition : Expenses that are specifically assigned to an individual claim Current Definition (eff. 1/1/98) : Limits ALAE to internal or external expenses relating to the following · Defense · Litigation · Medical Cost Containment Therefore, the ability to assign a particular type of expense to a single claim is no longer the determining factor as to whether the expense is ALAE or ULAE “Loss Adjustment Expenses” other than allocated expenses are assigned to the group Unallocated Loss Adjustment Expense

ULAE RESERVING UNALLOCATED LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE (ULAE) Previous Definition : Expenses incurred in connection with settling claims which are not readily assigned to specific claims Current Definition (eff. 1/1/98) : Those expenses, other than allocated expenses, assigned to the expense group “Loss Adjustment Expense”. Unallocated expenses include but are not limited to the following : · Fees of adjustors and settling agents · Attorney fees incurred in the determination of coverage, including litigation between insurer and policyholder · Fees or salaries for appraisers, private investigators, hearing representatives, reinspectors and fraud investigators
ULAE RESERVING Assumptions in Applying “50/50” Rule Age of claim does not affect the ratio of paid ULAE to Losses ULAE and Losses are paid at the same rate These assumptions should be reviewed for each situation where the “50/50” rule is used
ULAE RESERVING Recent Developments in ULAE Reporting Effective with the 1997 Annual Statement, the “50/50” rule no longer underlies annual statement Schedule P reporting of paid unallocated expenses. Rather, unallocated loss expenses payments and reserves should be allocated to the years in which the losses were incurred based on the number of claims reported, closed and outstanding in those years. An insurer is permitted to use the “50/50” rule or some other reasonable procedure when suitable claim information is not available.
