governance of the model.
0 Including the underlying rationale and assumptions.
Own Risk and Solvency
Assessments (ORSA)
0 Identify and quantify risk.
0 Policy outlining management of all relevant and

rigorous evaluation.
0 Provincial regulators follow OFSI’s lead.
0 Seeking Solvency II equivalence.
Results
0 RBC (system has installed many years ago).
0 Minimum Capital Test (MCT) now a well established
industry standard.
0 Stress testing – dynamic capital adequacy test (DCAT)
for a decade.
0 IFRS has been implemented.
0 ERM requirements are in place.
0 Reinsurance Risk Management Plans.
0 Chief Risk Officer.
U.S. Situation
0 In large part will depend on the state regulators.
General Indications
0 2008 National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) commenced the solvency
modernization initiatives (SMI).
0 No implementation of Solvency II but will aim for a
“equivalent” platform.
0 More of a standard formula approach to RBC.
0 Many regulators are leery of internal models.
0 ORSA is on the immediate horizon.
0 ERM and capital management will undoubtedly be a
component of future regulations.
Financial Institutions
Commission (FICOM)
0 “Recommended” we adopt OFSI’s ERM protocols.
0 Gave us a year to implement.
0 Guidelines in handout.
Our Approach
0 Manageable
0 Meaningful
0 Value for members
Key results
0 Capital Management Plan.
0 ERM Policy.
Capital Management Plan
0 Stochastic model
0 Stress test
0 10,000 scenarios
0 Used MCT as metric
0 Model Details
0 The model is based on a series of 10,000 simulations
which generated full balance sheet projections as well
as MCT calculations and other metrics.
0 Claims are generated based on theoretical distributions
for each line of business from the 2011 rating study.
Claims are generated for future years based on trending,
growth and a frequency and a severity distribution.
0 Model Details (cont’d)
0 Additional shocks are
distributions for:
included
by
generating
0 A 10% chance of generating a loss in excess of $2.5 million,
which could be not reflected in the past experience data.
0 A reserve deficiency mechanism which assumes with a 5%
chance that liabilities are 20% deficient, a 10% chance that
liabilities are 10% deficient and a 10% chance that
liabilities are excessive by 5%. Our model only assumes
this shock in the year 2011.
0 That members’ assessments for all pools, including those
finding the MIABC’s retention be set at the 75th percentile
confidence level.
0 That the MIABC gradually reduce its reliance on
reinsurance by increasing it’s retention level, insofar as it
receives concurrence from its appointment actuary.
0 That investment income should not be credited to
members’ assessments.
That if the MIABC ‘s capital falls below $250% MCT, the
MIABC should consider replenishing it by retroassesing
the membership if the MIABC’s capital is more than
250% MCT but less than 450% MCT, no dividends
should be distributed. If the MIABC’s capital is between
450% MCT and 650% MCT, any dividends should be
limited to 10% of the previous year pool assessment. If
the MIABC’s capital exceeds 650% MCT, dividends
should be limited to a maximum of 15% of the previous
year’s pool assessment.
