1 NATURAL CATASTROPHES IN AUSTRALIA: ISSUES OF FUNDING AND INSURANCE Authors: Chris Latham, Peter McCourt Key words: Natural catastrophes, funding, insurance, national scheme Purpose of your paper: To revisit the need for a national disaster insurance scheme There is a view that the incidence of natural catastrophes in Australia is increasing, possibly due to the effects of global warming and consequential climate change. After Cyclone Tracy in 1974 the Federal Government decided in principle to introduce a national disaster insurance scheme. However for a number of reasons it failed to eventuate. This paper revisits the question of a national scheme, under the following headings: History of past catastrophes- is the incidence really increasing? The current situation for funding the financial cost of a natural disaster Who should fund the costs? What should be the respective roles of government and insurers? The problem of underinsurance What might a national scheme look like? The funding mechanism Consideration of these questions raises social and general economic issues as well as actuarial issues of funding and insurance.
2 REINSURANCE OF EFFICENCY AND ECONOMIC VALUE David Maneval Key words: Reinsurance, Price, Optimisation, Efficiency, Optimisation, Return, Economic Value Added, Market Value Added, Capital, Cost of Capital, Return on Capital, Return on Equity Purpose of your paper: Economic Value Added, Market Value Added and Return on Capital are widely recognised tools to measure the efficiency with which a company has used its resources. The intention of this paper is to demystify the use of such metrics for reinsurance. Analysts have been increasingly asked to report on the return of individual classes, run-off portfolios or any other segmentation of an insurer portfolio. Compared with financial targets, this can lead to divestiture, price adjustment or selective growth (to name a few). Reinsurance purchase decisions should be seen as another attempt to segment the portfolio for which each part can be analysed with financial or valuation metrics. Economic Value Added, Market Value Added and Return on Capital are widely recognised tools to measure the efficiency with which a company has used its resources. The intention of this paper is to demystify the use of such metrics for reinsurance. In addition, this paper briefly relates to the broader reinsurance efficiency context and the importance of understanding modelling limitations.
3 WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM CAPITAL TRENDS IN THE NOUGHTIES? Brett Gould, David Whittle, Victoria Tidmas Key words Capital management, risk management, industry trends Purpose of your paper: Analysing capital and related trends, we reflect on the difficulties faced and lessons learned from the last decade. Looking to the future, we discuss impending challenges and the increasing need for sound, integrated capital and risk management. The last decade has been an interesting time in Australia - starting off with underpricing in some lines, the market effects of the collapse of HIH, the resultant regulatory changes and ending off the decade with a GFC. This paper seeks to review these periods and the trends emerging, particularly in the light of an international survey conducted at the close of the decade that seeks companies views on growth prospects and priorities to 2012, and the increased interdependency between risk and capital management against a backdrop of growing regulatory changes for the industry. Getting the balance right between these elements has become even more challenging post financial crisis and will remain a key focus for the industry. Survey responses indicated: greater focus on the integration of finance, risk and capital management the drive to improve business in the long term and not just react to regulatory change information about risk may be reaching the right people but recipients may lack knowledge of how to respond appropriately investment in risk expertise is inevitable, especially to enhance understanding of data and models heightened regulatory requirements and reporting may expose shortcomings No doubt the coming years will hold new challenges and opportunities for actuaries and we will discuss some of these in this paper.
4 AUSTRALIAN INSURANCE TRADING RESULTS HISTORICAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS Adrian Gould and Sharanjit Paddam Key words: Insurance Trading Result, Insurance profit, insurance, reinsurance, underlying profitability, historical comparison, international comparison Purpose of your paper: Insurance trading result ( ITR ) has become the preferred measure of financial performance of general insurance companies by investment analysts. This paper will provide an analysis of past and recent levels of ITR, for Australia and other markets. ITR is typically defined as the ratio of underwriting profit plus investment earnings on investments supporting technical provisions to premium revenue. In recent years, ITR has become the measure of financial performance of general insurance companies preferred by investment analysts in Australia. The authors regard ITR as a superior measure of profitability of insurance operations to the traditional measure of underwriting profit. However, there appears to be a dearth of published historical information on levels of ITR. The objective of the paper will be to: - survey and collate published information which is available on past ITR, both in Australia and in selected overseas jurisdictions; - if appropriate, derive our own estimates of aggregate ITR in each selected jurisdiction from other published information, and - make comparisons of historic, estimated current and prospective future levels of insurance profit. The discussion will consider whether current levels of ITR can be maintained in the long run in the face of growing international entrants into the Australian market.
5 Implications from the annual JP Morgan Deloitte GI Industry Surveys Elaine Collins and Catherine Dube Key words: Industry, underwriters, brokers, reinsurers, profitability, premium rate trends, claims trends, key issues Purpose of your paper: (To assist delegates / readers searching for your paper on the Institute s website after the event, enter a sentence or two briefly describing the purpose of your paper. Maximum: 220 characters) The purpose of this presentation is to provide commentary on industry trends appearing in the General Insurance Industry Survey conducted by JP Morgan and Deloitte. The JP Morgan Deloitte General Insurance Industry Survey, now in its 17 th year, provides annually to participants a detailed overview of the current state of the Australian general insurance industry and the industry s expectations. The survey brings together a comprehensive set of responses from direct underwriters, brokers and reinsurers on key elements of the industry, including: Detailed product information for the current period and industry expectations for the next two years covering topics such as premium rate trends, capacity changes, claim inflation, claim frequency, loss and expense ratios Perception of product profitability Views on distribution trends Key issues affecting the industry and particular classes We will examine the trend of industry forecasts provided by participants over the years, commenting in particular on comparison to actual results provided the following year. We will also discuss the outlook for the Australian general insurance industry.
6 A Statistical Basis for Claims Experience Monitoring Greg Taylor Synopsis By claims experience monitoring is meant the systematic comparison of valuation forecasts with claims experience as it emerges subsequently. In the event that the stochastic properties of the forecasts are known, the comparison can be represented as a collection of probabilistic statements. This is stochastic monitoring. The paper defines this process rigorously in terms of statistical hypothesis testing. If the valuation model is a regression model (which is the case for most stochastic valuation models), then the natural form of hypothesis test is a number of likelihood ratio tests, one for each parameter in the valuation model. Such testing is shown to be very easily implemented by means of GLM software. This tests the formal structure of the claims model and is referred to as micro-testing. There may be other quantities (e.g. amount of claim payments in a defined interval) that require testing for practical reasons. This sort of testing is referred to as macro-testing, and its formulation is also discussed.
7 Premiums, Claims and Profit A Class by Class Analysis of the Australian General Insurance Market Estelle Pearson Key words: Profitability, market trends Purpose of your paper: To examine recent trends in premium rates and claims for each major class of business and look at the implications of this for the prospective profitability of the Australian general insurance market. Premium and claim trends by class of business and the implications for underlying prospective profitability for the general insurance industry The paper will examine premium and claim trends by class of business over the last few years using analysis of information from a wide variety of sources. The historic premium and claim indices are used to explain trends in past loss ratios and to form a view about the underlying profitability for each class of business both currently and prospectively. Challenges to profitability and opportunities to outperform will be discussed for each class of business. Classes of business covered will include Motor, Home, CTP, Commercial Motor, Fire, Liability, Professional Indemnity and Workers Compensation. The paper will update and extend analysis and research that has been carried out for a number of years. The following charts provide an indication of the results summary that will be presented for each class of business. Premium Index - Motor Jun-04 Dec-04 Jun-05 Dec-05 Jun-06 Dec-06 Jun-07 Dec-07 Jun-08 Dec-08 Jun-09 Exposure Quarter

9 SOLVENCY II - HOW INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE CHANGING IN EUROPE Matt Hodson, Maiyuran Arumugam Key words: Solvency II, Internal Models, Use Test, Actuary, APRA Purpose of your session: This will be a presentation at one of the concurrent workshops. The emphasis of the session will be to give practical insights into how insurance companies are gearing up and evolving for Solvency II in Europe, with particular focus on the pivotal role of the actuary in this process. The emphasis of the session will be to give practical insights into how insurance companies are gearing up and evolving for Solvency II in Europe, with particular focus on the pivotal role of the actuary in this process. Matt recently returned to Australia after a period of time in the UK. During his time in the UK, Matt was heavily involved in Solvency II projects, including developing a worldwide Solvency II implementation plan with a large global insurer. Matt was also a member of the UK's Internal Models Expert Group and led a workgroup that reviewed the (then) emerging 'Use Test' guidance - the Use test being the 'Acid Test' of internal model approval under Solvency II. During the session, Matt will: - Give a brief overview of the Solvency II framework - Provide an update on Solvency II developments in Europe - Discuss the impact of Solvency II globally and the reasons that many non-european companies are following Solvency II closely - Provide a point of view of how APRA regime differs to Solvency II - Provide insights into changing roles of the key functions within an insurance company under Solvency II
10 IMTERNATIONAL UPDATE Lisa Simpson Key words: Solvency II, International Accounting Standards, Insurance Accounting, Phase II, IASB, IAIS, An update on International developments in the areas of solvency capital and accounting standards. The exposure draft for phase II of the insurance contracts standard is due in May 2009, but possibly later. This paper will explain the key impacts of the exposure draft for general insurance accounting. APRA s exposure draft for the LAGIC project is also due in April It is anticipated that APRA will be moving closer to alignment with elements of Solvency II for European insurers. Australian insurers with European parents will have capital reporting requirements under both Solvency II and APRA s regulations. This paper will explain the requirements and trends towards harmonisation. Lastly, the paper will draw together the components of insurance accounting and capital reporting. APRA and the IAIS have both indicated a desire to ensure that capital standards build from general purpose financial standards, rather than requiring a separate set of rules. The paper will look at the cost of capital risk margin approach as an example of this move towards consistency.
11 IASB Exposure Draft on Insurance Contracts Summary of Draft Submissions Bob Buchanan In late July, 2010, following a process starting in 1997, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued its Exposure Draft for an Insurance Contracts International Financial Reporting Standard (the ED). Submissions on the ED are due at the IASB by 30 November The IASB timetable is for a final Standard to be promulgated in the second quarter of 2011, with an effective date to be confirmed. Both the Institute of Actuaries of Australia (IAAust) and the International Actuarial Association (IAA) are currently preparing submissions. The IAAust submission is currently under preparation by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) of IAAust. The preceding session, International Updates (see above), summarises the ED, particularly as it affects general insurers. This presentation summarises the IAAust Submission in its current draft form, again concentrating on general issues. It will also comment on any major differences in the IAA Submission. In addition to this presentation, which is general insurance oriented and intended to complement the preceding presentation, Bob has prepared a longer Presentation that summarises the full submission, with notes to each slide quoting the relevant paragraphs of the draft IAAust submission, with occasional references to IAA views, drawn from an early draft of the IAA submission. This longer presentation is commended to all those who wish to take a serious interest in what IAAust will say. In order to conform to IAAust due process, the IASC must present its recommendations to IAAust by 15 November, so time for comments is short.
12 INSURANCE RISK STUDY David Maneval Key words: Volatility, correlation, loss ratio, industry curve, benchmark, systemic, diversification, Capital model, ERM Purpose of your paper: The Insurance Risk Study models the global market and provides analysts with an objective and data-driven set of underwriting volatility benchmarks, such as the systemic risk of each line of business, and loss ratio correlations between lines of business and between countries. The Study quantifies these benchmarks for 26 countries (incl. Australia) which together comprise more than 85 percent of global premium.
