MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board An Analysis of Claims Frequency & Severity Predictors Property Characteristics Correlations Claims vs. Property Characteristics
» 2 MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board Objectives » To correlate property claims to property characteristics » To measure the claims dollar implications of differing property attributes » To attempt to “Drill down” to implications such as age and location » To determine if the correlations are reliable enough to be used in premium differentiation
» 3 MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board Data Set » Property records 1.6 Million MS/B data records Full “RCT type” property characteristics 376,120 with ChoicePoint claims activity over zero dollar » ChoicePoint records Peril type and claims amount Some properties had multiple claims Claims occurred over a 5 year period

» 9 MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board Macro Findings » Two-story homes consistently incur more claims dollars than one-story homes, but premiums correlate relatively closely » Age of home has a measurable claims implication and is not correlated with premium differentiation » Floor covering also has a distinct claims implication » Slab-on-grade is distinctly better than basements » Multiple characteristics cause cumulative risk implications
» 10 MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board Next Steps » Expand this trial to a much larger dataset » Use the larger dataset to generate deeper analyses at regional and state levels » Increase statistical granularity for multiple factor analysis » Annualize the loss data for inclusion in annual premium assessment » Determine the loss implications of “Underwriting Questions” » Underwriting Analytics
» 11 MARSHALL & SWIFT / BOECKH Advisory Board Turning Data into Knowledge What is Underwriting Analytics? An analysis of a book of business with policy records Analysis of trends within the carriers records Comparison of a given carrier’s records to an industry reference database Comparison of a given carrier’s records to normative sources (Census, DQ, etc.) A set of recommendations based on above analysis and comparisons Recommendations by home type (property characteristics) Recommendations by home size or age Recommendations by geography Recommendation by source A wealth of data from your own portfolio of properties Geocoding for underwriting against any criteria Identification of areas of under/over insurance Identification of Agent’s practices
