5 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Other Famous Curmudgeons Churchill Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee.” Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."

6 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Other Famous Curmudgeons Fields “A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.”

7 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Other Famous Curmudgeons Marx “Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.”

8 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Other Famous Curmudgeons Mencken “For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.”

9 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Regulation largely misguided

10 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? Regulation largely misguided Making something more technically challenging does not improve its quality

11 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Who is this guy, and why do I care what he says? “Statistics are like bikinis: what they reveal is suggestive but what they conceal is vital.” Aaron Levenstein “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.” Albert Einstein “We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.” Sir Arthur Eddington

12 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 CAS Statement of Principles “The underwriting profit and contingency provisions are the amounts that, when considered with net investment and other income, provide an appropriate total after-tax return.” What is Our Goal?

13 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Two Issues – What’s appropriate? – How do you measure return? What is Our Goal?

14 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 What’s appropriate? – CAS Statement of Principles  Risk charge for “random variation from the expected costs” must be “consistent with the cost of capital”  Included in underwriting profit provision – “Charge for any systematic variation of estimated costs from the expected costs … should be reflected in the … contingency provision.” – NOTE THAT BOTH REFER TO “EXPECTED COSTS” What is Our Goal?

15 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 What’s a return? – Implies measurement against a base – Prospective – Should reflect opportunity cost  Operating flows only, not surplus  Risk-free rate of return What is Our Goal?

16 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Return on what? – Economic efficiency - Assets – Investment efficacy - Equity – Rate equity - Sales What is Our Goal?

17 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Example: Co. ACo. BCo. CCo. D Proposed rate$100$100$110$110 Leverage 4:1 1:1 4:1 1:1 Identical product, service, market Expected loss and expense = $95 Rate Regulation v. Rate of Return Regulation

18 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Rate Regulation v. Rate of Return Regulation

19 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Rate equity requires that A and B (also C and D) be treated identically Rate Regulation v. Rate of Return Regulation

20 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Rate Regulation v. Rate of Return Regulation Assume 15% “Appropriate” ROE

21 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 One $100 rate and one $110 rate are reasonable – 5.0% ROE and 13.6% ROE One $100 rate and one $110 rate are excessive – 20.0% ROE and 54.5% ROE Rate regulation subordinated to rate of return regulation Rate Regulation v. Rate of Return Regulation

22 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 – No such thing as Iowa homeowners surplus  Entire surplus stands behind every risk – Allocation ignores value of unallocated surplus  Treats $100 million equity company with 1% Iowa homeowners same as $1 million equity Iowa homeowners specialist – Problems with allocation basis  Assignment of investment portfolio  Tracking incremental gains/losses in equity by line  Problem in case of allocated surplus exhaustion Allocation of equity

23 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios Remember H. L. Mencken? “For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.”

24 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 – Regulators assume or mandate assumed leverage (writings-to-surplus) ratio by line of business – Example  Assume return on equity is 12.5% “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

25 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

26 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 What happens if we use a “benchmark” risk ratio of 3:1 to allocate surplus to this line “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

27 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

28 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 Let’s eliminate the target returns and focus on what really happens “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

29 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios

30 CAS Seminar on Ratemaking - March, 2003 “Benchmark” or “Normative” Ratios Result is a constant 4.17% return on sales – Eliminates problems with allocation – Does not regulate return on equity
