DD&R/Extended Reserve Panel Laura A. Johnson, FCAS, MAAA
Actual Practice - Using the Model proposed in the Walker & Skrodenis article • Changes to the Model • Additional Considerations
Changes to the Model • Expected number of free tail executions • Lapses • Average load across all ages • Applying the load • Reserve calculation if other than start up year
Changes to the Model - Expected Number of Free Tail Executions • Apply Death, Disability & retirements rates all to the beginning of the year population rather than cumulative • More Conservative - assumes no “overlap” exists in the rates • Impact is small -> 12.166% changes to 12.322% • Specific calculation -> pg. 338, (7)=(3)x[(4)+(5)+(6)]
Changes to the Model - Lapses • Apply Lapse (non renewal) rates to the beginning of the year population rather than to the end of year population • Correct method depends on how the lapse rate itself is calculated • Impact is moderate ->12.322% changes to 12.081% • Specific calculation ->pg. 338, (9) = (3) x (8)
Changes to the Model - Average Load across all ages • Short term approach - weight together based on current insureds • Long term approach - give more weight to younger insureds since they will be around funding longer - i.e., weight by insured and time Advantages - average load does not change every year - consistent with calculation by age Danger - if in practice, the load is recalculated each year any way, you’ll end up short if you use the long term average • Impact -> 12.081% under short term approach 10.780% under long term approach • Specific calculation -> pg. 344, (4) (avg) = sum of (16) from Model 2 times number of insureds at each age over all ages divided by the sum of (14) from Model 2 times number of insureds at each age over all ages in other words, weight the numerator and the denominator and sum across those first, then divide
Changes to the Model - Applying the Load • Note load is stated as a percentage of pure premium (loss) • Can use that pure premium load as a rate load only if there • are no Fixed Expenses • Otherwise, need to convert to a rate load
Changes to the Model - Reserve Calculation • Reserve = Future DD&R Losses - Future DD&R Premium • Thus, same age insureds need the same reserve regardless of what • their entry age (the age they began funding) was • Need to restate Future DD&R Losses and Premiums so that the current • age is “time 0” • Impact -> none if current age = entry age (i.e., start up year) • -> potentially huge impact otherwise: 50-75% lower in our • experience • Specific calculation -> pg. 339, column (18) and (19): divide current • formula by column (10)
Additional Considerations • No age bands - matrix of insureds by entry age and current age • Retirement requirements for free tail: i.e., 55&10 or 65&5 • Experience modification factor (note: don’t include expense • considerations) • Actual utilization rate • Expected future funding of the reserve • Expected redundancy/inadequacy of future rates
