30 Data Quality Challenges Geocoding resolution Un-modeled exposures For some portfolios, represented 50% of actual loss, and greater Undervalued Exposures old data Basis risk in coding of data Bulk, default, coding Location, Occupancy, Construction, Year, number of stories Optimistic coding of commercial vulnerabilities i.e. Steel Frame vs. Light Metal Default to Unknown construction tends to increase risk When coded, secondary modifiers reduce risk Policy terms and conditions 30

31 Vulnerabilities What significant classes of atrisk structures need to be recognized? Data capture Guidance on coding Model refinement? Photo: SunHerald.com 31

32 Insurance Industry Dynamics in Flux Risk increasing (modeled risk, more risks) Capital requirements increasing (even for same risk) Re/insurance rates increasing Insurers are taking action to manage their exposures Insureds retaining more risk New capital entering the market, and ART We remain of the opinion the amount of capital required by a re/insurer in peak zones will increase by 50%+. We believe that demand for coverage will increase as the new models are introduced, new PMLs are calculated, and rating agencies require more capital - Dowling and Partners,
