Motor Postcode Zoning Working Party Duncan Anderson Roger Massey Saideh Charlton Chris Spiller Dave Coughlan (Chair) Kim Pape Mark Harrison James Tanser Stephen Jones Richhard Verrall
Aims • Understand market • Data availability • Possible approach
Importance of zoning • Review of postcodes • 3rd biggest factor • Needed to limit scope • Theft only 10 - 15%
Investigating market rates • EL Systems Præmium • "Average" risk consideredfor every UK post code district • 18 comprehensive quotesobtained from 15 insurers • Some possible interactions also examined • Limited • districts only • no direct writers • off screen discounts

Loadings by postcode • For each company, "average loading" for a district defined as premium for district divided by unweighted average of premiums across all districts • Districts ordered by average"average loading" • Average loading plotted against district
Information available • Complex • Appropriate • Up to date • Higher level view
Data • Internal data • External • Combined/Grouped
Interesting views • Drive around and look • Social deprivation index • Subjective views
Methods • Size of exercise • Consider residual risk • Three main types of approach • - Smoothing • - Credibility • - Market related
Smoothing “Based on underlying assumption that areas “close” each other have similar risk” • Adjacency?
Credibility “The risk associated with a postcode is a mixture of its own experience and some other estimate of expected” Appropriate?
Market Related • “everybody doing it, so I should too” • Realistic?
Approach • Smoothing - “weighted distance” • - “Spatial models” • Credibility - “Credibility Method” • Market - “Average Market” • - “External provider” • Other - “Modern Heuristic”
Approach • Split data 70/30 • Standardise data • Use residual risk to zone • squares as test statistic
Simple results • All proved better than null model • Little to choose between results • Combination of “credibility and weighted distance” is the best
Implementation • Solid risk cost • Improved understanding
Implementation - issues • Competitive position • Existing customers • Systems
Conclusion • Market is not uniform in approach • Suggest approach as mixture ofmethods
