1 Reviving the Cooperative Spirit through Takaful Hassan Scott Odierno, FSA Actuarial Partners (Malaysia) 15 October

2 The cooperative spirit is members helping each other to succeed

3 Discretionary and hybrid mutuals do not provide benefit guarantees and normally do not need to follow insurance regulations

4 Cooperatives excel for products where there are a large number of smaller claims, where profits take time to emerge or coverage is unavailable or expensive

5 Takaful is insurance following Islamic principles NOT insurance for Muslims

6 Religious buildings and property can be insured taking into account its special risks, such as Ansvar insurance in Australia (connected to the Anglican church)

7 People of a specific religion can be insured, such as the Samaritan Ministries in the U.S. with health insurance

8 Religious values can be ingrained in all aspects of insurance operations, such as with takaful and Christian Super in Australia

9 Takaful eliminates Riba Gharar Maisir Forbidden Activities

10 Takaful is managing risks Receive fees for work performed

11 Conventional Non-Par Product Policyholder Premium Management Expenses Non-Par Fund Policy Benefits Underwriting Surplus Shareholders

12 Conventional Par Product Policyholder Premium Management Expenses Par Fund Policy Benefits Unallocated Surplus Underwriting Surplus Bonus Allocation 10% Shareholders 90%

13 Wakala (unit linked) Drip with incentive compensation Participant 100% Contribution (Premium) Policy Benefit 50% Wakala Fee (Operator) Unit Account (Personal) Risk Account (Common) Investment Profit Per Policy and % NAV Wakala Fee (Operator) Underwriting Surplus 50% Wakala Fees Operator Actual Management Expenses

14 Wakala With Mudharaba Drip with incentive compensation Participant X% Contribution (Premium) Policy Benefit 50% Wakala Fee (Operator) Savings Account (Personal) Risk Account (Common) Investment Profit 1-X% Per Policy Wakala Fee (Operator) 50% Underwriting Surplus

15 The Current Takaful Market 2, Takaful Sales (US$) million 1,500 1, Malaysia UAE Indonesia Sudan Qatar Total US$5.31 billion excluding Saudi Arabia and Iran, from 2013 EY World Takaful Report. Total Africa is 527 million, split for Sudan is estimated

16 Takaful products have shifted away from being unique to mirroring conventional products

17 It is difficult in takaful to find assets to back new product types with guaranteed maturity benefits

18 Takaful annuities presents a particular challenge as the desire is for guaranteed payments for life

19 With a lack of fixed investments in takaful, by right liabilities should be variable as well similar to discretionary mutuals to minimize ALM risks

20 By right products with no guarantees whatsoever would have much lower capital charges and thus be cheaper and cater to a different market segment

21 Takaful can be used to design risky products such as long term care which are needed due to the changing demographics in Asia but under conventional insurance would be capital intensive

22 Work Performed for Long Term Care Claims handling and operations Selling the product and underwriting Investment Management

23 Social Pyramid Upper Upper middle Lower middle Working / Mass Working poor Hard core poor

24 Typical Insurance Company % of Premium Benefits 35%-45% Commissions 15%-20% Expenses 10%-25% Profit 5%-20% Others 10%-15%

25 NGO s or other organizations in the community can create a risk pool for members, or hospitals / clinics can create a prepaid or risk pool for people using their services

26 Pure Cooperative Model Participant Contribution Actual Management Expenses Cooperative Fund Benefits Surplus

27 Surplus can be used to provide other benefits for the participants or channeled back to the community

28 Microtakaful can be given to the hard core poor using zakat funds

29 Takaful can be used to expand the market by reviving the cooperative spirit through innovative product design
