What are we trying to do? Determine economic parameters that generate the asset characteristics we want.  Note: Each asset is priced along each economic path. Goal: Generate scenarios of company financials to study efficient allocation of resources: Business mix, asset mix, capital and retro covers.

Calibration (Model Fitting) Relationships  within time periods  across time periods Relationships  within asset class/ economic variable  across asset class/ economic variable First step is economic calibration - this session focuses on asset model impact Relationships  within time periods  across time periods Relationships  within asset class/ economic variable  across asset class/ economic variable First step is economic calibration - this session focuses on asset model impact

Calibration (Model Fitting) Basic statistics (arithmetic mean, compound mean, st.dev., percentiles, min. & max., serial) Plausibility criteria (Becker - yield curve characteristics) Basic statistics (arithmetic mean, compound mean, st.dev., percentiles, min. & max., serial) Plausibility criteria (Becker - yield curve characteristics)

Summary A number of characteristics must be monitored for asset model results to be labeled “reasonable” Calibration methodology and targets should match model purpose A number of characteristics must be monitored for asset model results to be labeled “reasonable” Calibration methodology and targets should match model purpose
