2 Motivation Why creating a "model" for all lines of business is important

3 Motivation Why creating a "model" for all lines of business is important Predictions are based on more observations

4 Motivation Why creating a "model" for all lines of business is important Predictions are based on more observations Risk margins and capital requirements can be determined more accurately taking diversification into account

12 Theory

13 Terminology Let Y r (r = 1,..., R) denote all (known and unknown) cells of a runoff table of LOB r in a portfolio. Each LOB can be modeled by: Y r N (µ r, Σ r )

14 Terminology Let Y r (r = 1,..., R) denote all (known and unknown) cells of a runoff table of LOB r in a portfolio. Each LOB can be modeled by: Y r N (µ r, Σ r ) The term runoff table can mean: incremental paid incremental incurred incremental paid and incurred

15 Problem The goal is to find mean µ and covariance Σ of: Y = (Y 1,..., Y R ) N (µ, Σ)

16 Problem The goal is to find mean µ and covariance Σ of: Y = (Y 1,..., Y R ) N (µ, Σ) µ = (µ 1,..., µ R )

17 Problem The goal is to find mean µ and covariance Σ of: Y = (Y 1,..., Y R ) N (µ, Σ) µ = (µ 1,..., µ R ) Σ 1... Σ 1R Σ =..... Σ R1... Σ R

18 Solution

19 Solution For each Σ r there exists an unique symmetric matrix B r such that B r B r = Σ r B r = JD 1 2 J eigendecomposition

20 Solution For each Σ r there exists an unique symmetric matrix B r such that B r B r = Σ r B r = JD 1 2 J eigendecomposition Cross covariance matrix Σ rr = ρ rr B r B r

21 Solution For each Σ r there exists an unique symmetric matrix B r such that B r B r = Σ r B r = JD 1 2 J Cross covariance matrix eigendecomposition Σ rr = ρ rr B r B r ρ rr is an element of the R R correlation matrix (symmetric, positive definite).

22 Solution Σ 1... ρ 1R B 1 B R Σ =..... ρ 1R B R B 1... Σ R

23 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio

24 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach:

25 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling

26 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling allows for determination of the impact of the dependence on e.g. risk margins

27 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling allows for determination of the impact of the dependence on e.g. risk margins limits the number of parameters to estimate

28 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling allows for determination of the impact of the dependence on e.g. risk margins limits the number of parameters to estimate is generic for all covariance matrices

29 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling allows for determination of the impact of the dependence on e.g. risk margins limits the number of parameters to estimate is generic for all covariance matrices marginal distribution for each LOB does not change

30 Properties The proposed method for modeling a portfolio follows a bottom-up approach: use knowledge about each LOB in modeling allows for determination of the impact of the dependence on e.g. risk margins limits the number of parameters to estimate is generic for all covariance matrices marginal distribution for each LOB does not change gives a Gaussian predictive distribution of (any aggregation of) the unknown elements of Y conditional on (any aggregation of) the known elements
