7 Policy Characteristics
Small Limited Underwriting Large – full underwriting Micro Life Insure all lives in Tanzania (50m) for $100 = $5b Key man Insure 100 for $50m each = $5b Mass Market All demographics are covered High Net Worth (HNW) A portion of the demographics Law of Large Numbers Works Law of Large Numbers May not work Many claims Administrative costs can be a key cost Few claims Administrative cost are not significant Reinsurance (Quota Share, Surplus, XOL)

8 Claim Characteristics
Small Limited Underwriting Large – full underwriting Regular claims per month Using a claim distribution with a incidence rate of 3 per mille Limited or no claims With 100 lives a chance of no claim is possible

9 Role of Reinsurance Risk Transfer (both cases)

No-individual underwriting Facultative: Can be one-off no obligation on both sides

11 Quota Share A proportionate share of the premium and claims
For example, the reinsurer receives 30% of premium and pays 30% of claims

12 Quota Share Example: Insurer pays 70%, Reinsurer pays 30% of claims
Reinsurer follows the fortunes of the insurer

13 Surplus A proportionate share of the premium and claims subject to a maximum proportion per claim

14 Surplus Example: Insurer pays 70% (maximum - $10m), Reinsurer pay 30% of claims Insurer is more protected

15 Excess of Loss Pays claims beyond a certain limit
For example, claims beyond $100m are paid by reinsurer. The reinsurer may give a limit of claims they will pay and the additional claims reverts to the insurer.

16 Excess of Loss Example: Reinsurer pays claims above $100m – subject to a maximum of another $100 – claims above $200m revert back to insurer
