Overview • Underwriting strategy • Focus on differentiating risks via an engineering informed underwriting process • Underwriting appetite reflects an expertise-based segment avoidance strategy • For example, in ocean marine – blue water hull not written owing to undervaluation of exposures/inadequate rates; in energy and production – drilling contractors avoided due to, among other things, high value of moveable assets (aggregation concerns) • Superior on-staff expertise via market leading underwriters, qualified risk engineers and claims professionals trained in maritime law • Typically focused on small to midsized clients, avoiding major corporations • Market entry for targeted classes via partnership strategy (MGU) • Look to maintain portfolio balance by keeping maximum policy limit offered within annual premium volume
Overview (cont.) • Catastrophe management strategy • Line setting guidance in place based on specific account criteria such as client size, maximum loss potential and cat exposure • Maintain portfolio balance – per risk and portfolio / NAT CAT capacity • NAT CAT monitored by region / segment / occupancy, set against pre-determined loss thresholds • Platforms scored based on probability of failure in major wind event • Aggregate exposures measured, deterministically as the sum of all limits and coverages, captured using industry software; Exploration and Production: Open Xposure/Static Marine: Risk Browser/RMS • PMLs, storm tracks, Lloyds Realistic Disaster Scenario run nightly and/or as needed in real time
Second year of operation for C&F under the leadership of individuals with a combined 27 years marine and energy underwriting experience Ocean Marine Exploration & Production 2012 GPW: $9.3M (Q1&2) 2012 GPW: $7.7M (Q1&2)
