1 Economic Scenario Generators A regulator s perspective Falk Tschirschnitz, FINMA Bahnhofskolloquium

2 Motivation FINMA has observed: Calibrating the interest rate model of choice has become increasingly difficult: High implied volatilities, undulating surface Extremely low nominal interest rates, even negative Documentation of the ESG as part of the internal model is usually very limited Choice of particular model is not explained Limitations of the chosen model are not discussed The model risk is considerable. 2 Bahnhofskolloquium

3 Agenda Why do we need Economic Scenario Generators (ESGs)? What are the key properties an ESG should fulfil? How can you assess the adequacy of your model choice? 3 Bahnhofskolloquium

4 Different uses ask for different types of scenario sets Risk neutral scenarios Calibration scenarios Real world scenarios Valuation purposes: Calibration: Risk modeling: Best estimate liabilities and sensitivities Arbitrage-free Calibration on current market prices (as far as available) Proxy representation of liabilities Market risk Calibration based on historical observations and expert judgement Projection time derived from life-time of modelled policies Usually 1-year projection Focus on mean of the distribution Particularly good fit in the tail of the distribution is necessary 4 Bahnhofskolloquium

5 ESGs are at the core of stochastic modelling An ESG produces forward-looking scenarios for a specified set of risk factors, e.g.: Interest rate term-structures Inflation Index returns, e.g. for equity, real estate, hedge funds, private equity Exchange rates Assumption: The possible behaviour of risk factors (and their interaction) can be described sufficiently well by certain stochastic models Choice of the stochastic model and a set of parameters determines the range of the scenarios produced by ESG 5 Bahnhofskolloquium

6 Most life insurers require complex stochastic models for valuation of their liabilities at reference day Input data Policy data Statutory balance sheet (t=0) Risk-neutral economic scenario set Statutory P&L / Balance sheet Cash flow model Dynamic management actions e.g. bonus crediting Fund-based policyholder benefits and fees t=0 t=1 t=2 Best estimate liabilities Dynamic policyholder actions e.g. lapses 6 Bahnhofskolloquium

7 Monte Carlo simulation is currently the only feasible method to value complex (life) liabilities Idea behind Monte Carlo method: Generate sample paths for set of risk factors over the modelling period. Calculate the (discounted) cash flows of the sample paths. Aggregate the results. Key idea & assumptions for market consistent valuation: We start in a risk-neutral setting by calibrating the ESG to market prices of options and derivatives from deep and liquid markets. (This setting is free of arbitrage.) Best estimate for the liabilities is calculated as expectation. Property of arbitrage-freeness is not affected. Economically coherent. 7 Bahnhofskolloquium

8 Valuation of life liabilities: Survey of Swiss companies All companies with materially sized business allowing for policyholder participation are expected to model stochastically Number of risk factors varies between 3 (nominal interest rate / inflation / equity index) and ~15 (multi-economy / various indices / credit spread) Two providers dominate the market, hence the choice of models limited for nominal interest rate: Hull-White / 2Factor-Black-Karasinski / LMM(+) 8 Bahnhofskolloquium

9 The choice of the ESG poses some key challenges Choice of modelled risk factors Choice of ESG-provider Choice of complexity of the model Trade-off between simplicity and (perceived) accuracy Choice of calibration targets Limited availability / reliability of market prices Limited relevance of historical data for future predictions Actuarial judgement essential that cannot be fully externalised All decisions need to be documented 9 Bahnhofskolloquium

10 ESGs need to fulfil some key properties Arbitrage free (for valuation purposes) Technically, fit for purpose Theoretical basis Data used is accurate, complete and appropriate Robust calibration process Adequate : No more complex than necessary, given the specific purpose and usage (e.g. product portfolio) (Parsimonious principle) 10 Bahnhofskolloquium

11 The complexity of the ESG should be adequate to the complexity of the valuation model Too simple Big calibration error Optionality in the liabilities not captured Model only working for a certain range of interest rates / volatilities Just right Extremely difficult calibration pseudo-accuracy ESG as black box Too complex 11 Bahnhofskolloquium

12 Required properties for IR-models for risk-neutral valuation (1/5) Arbitrage free Relevant criteria: Martingale test: all asset classes achieve the same average return Leakage test: starting market value of assets (MVA) should be equal to the present value of all future cash flows plus the present value of the residual MVA 12 Bahnhofskolloquium

16 Guaranteed interest Required properties for IR-models for risk-neutral valuation (4/5) Surplus Dependent on size of risk mitigation buffer Dependent on level of surrender guarantees Interest rate level Guarantees biting; 100% cost for shareholder Guarantee cost paid by existing risk mitigation buffer Investment profit shared with policyholders Surrender option cost increases as interest rates increase Produces sufficiently rich set of yield curve movements Relevant criteria: TVOG not underestimated by choice of interest rate model (e.g. path-dependencies likely to be mispriced by 1-factor model ) 16 Bahnhofskolloquium

17 Required properties for IR-models for risk-neutral valuation (5/5) Theoretically sound, numerically stable Valuation model and ESG have to be seen as package Sensible interpretation of extreme scenarios Ability to price options & guarantees by ESG must be sufficient for the options & guarantees intrinsic to the liabilities A bad valuation model cannot be saved by a good ESG Dependency on particular ESG should be minimized Relevant criteria: Confirmation by Appointed Actuary 17 Bahnhofskolloquium

18 FINMAs attempt at testing the adequacy of the interest rate model Test 1: What are the relevant market prices to calibrate to? Using a simplified replicating portfolio approach: asset universe restricted to swaps and (liquid) swaptions Weights assigned to swaptions indication for relevance Challenges: Big fitting error expected Results dependent on scenario set used Solution might not be very robust; high offsetting positions Big effort 18 Bahnhofskolloquium However, RP not used for (re-) valuations, so quality of fit not so much of an issue Should be run with IR that can fit IR-vol surface well Interested in an indication of region to calibrate to Particularly suitable for companies already using an RP-approach

19 FINMAs attempt at testing the adequacy of the interest rate model Test 2: What impact has a change of the interest rate model? Challenges: Change of IR-model not without implications on asset model Impact might not be attributable to a specific characteristic However, Use for both valuations simplified asset model (e.g. following Brownian motion) Change IR-model only gradually 1-factor to 2-factor, keeping distribution normal vs. lognormal, keeping # of factors consistent calibration approach, using results of test 1 19 Bahnhofskolloquium
