A City of Two (Re)Tails 2003 Fall CAS Meeting November 11, 2003 Robert J. Walling
The City of Toningbloom has 2 Hardware Stores… Sucha Tools Soft Hardware
Different, but eerily the same… • Both are: • Joisted Masonry • Protection Class 6 • Same Coverages and Amounts of Insurance • In fact, the properties have identical “traditional” risk characteristics.
Why? Elementary my Dear Watson…
“Who” Issues, Not “What” Issues • Look at data off the application that is not rated: • Percent Occupied • Years in Business • Years of Same Mgt. • Updated Systems • Alarms • Sole Occupancy • Computer Back Ups • Hours of Operation • Franchise? • Safety Program • Employee Mix (Full Time, Leased, etc.)
Traditionally schedule credits and rating tiers? THE HIGHEST NET RATE IS OVER FOUR TIMES THE LOWEST!!
Applications of GLM for BOP Pricing Enhancements • Revise Class Factors • Revise/Enhance Territories • May have impact similar to Homeowners on Protection • Create more sound AOI curve • Develop Underwriting Scorecard Incorporating • Credit scores • Other “who” characteristics (especially those already required on the application)
The GLM Approach • Capture by Policy and by Claim Experience • Append Credit Variables and Application Data • Develop Frequency and Severity Models • Consider Relevant Interactions • Combine Models to Develop Pure Premiums and Tiering Plan/Scorecard Elements Simultaneously
Issues of Developing BOP U/W Scorecard • Concerns Over Use of Credit • “No Hits” • Capture of Application Data • Volume of Data for Certain Classes, Territories, etc.
Benefits of Using GLM for BOP Pricing Enhancements • Reduce Reliance on Underwriting Discretion • Improves Predictive Accuracy • Creates Adverse Selection for Competitors • Reflects Interactions with Between Rating Factors
Underwriting Scorecards Reflecting Interactions • Multivariate analysis allows the modeling of interactions and modern policy management systems facilitate the implementation of more complex tiering systems
Parting Thoughts • Where there is no vision, the people perish. • Proverbs 29:18 The data’s ready, The technology’s ready, ARE YOU READY???
