Chapter 4
Risk Assessment: Quantification
What is it?
• Risk assessment includes risk identification and quantification
• Risk quantification is an extremely inexact science
• The purpose of risk quantification is
to determine the optimal amount of retained losses
• Optimization assumes:
• Insurance costs are optimized, and
• retained loss costs are reasonably predictable
• The risk quantification process compares exposure values to :
• loss frequency and loss severity, and
• the cost of insurance

Risk Assessment: Quantification
What is it?
Supplement
• Loss triangulation
• An important tool in forecasting ultimate loss values
• Different meaning for “terms of art” across disciplines
• To avoid confusion…
• Exposures – changing the E in COPE to “”environment”
• Replacing “guaranteed cost” with “guaranteed rate”
• Using “self-funding” in place of “self insurance”

Chapter 4
Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step One: Determining Frequency vs Severity
• First analyze each exposure’s value
• Next determine the possible loss costs
• A general set of rules:
• retain smaller, frequent losses
• retain or transfer medium, more frequent losses –
depending on the cost of insurance
• transfer large (catastrophic) losses to an insurer
• The cost of insurance
• Don’t risk a lot for a little!
• Retain only what is cost effective
• Retention can be using a deductible or self-funding (SIR)
• The relationship between the premium and deductible is nonlinear. The incremental premium savings for a higher deductible
may not be worth the risk.

Chapter 4
Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Two: Quantifying Retained Risk
• Techniques to determine how much to retain:
• Loss range analysis (stratification)
• Loss triangles
• Projected expected losses
• Loss Range Analysis
• An historical analysis of claims falling within ranges
• Use percent in each range to aid in selecting deductible

Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Two: Quantifying Retained Risk
• Loss Triangles
• The purpose is to determine the ultimate loss value (payment)
• The process is called loss development
• Historic data is used to determine loss development factors
• The factors are used to grow historic data to a forecast date

determine cumulative loss values ( see Fig. 4.3)

We have quantified the ultimate losses for operations in each year. We use this
expected loss value in our budgets and for allocating resources.
Important note: other valid loss triangle development methods exist!

Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Three: Property Exposures
• Property exposure loss quantification uses a different method to
quantify the loss values
•Property losses usually develop to their ultimate value within one
operating period
• Three loss values are estimated:
• mean value ( E(L), L, x ,  )
(or mode or median loss value from historic data)
• Maximum possible loss (MPL)
(worst case scenario – building burns to the ground!)
• Probably maximum loss (PML)
(realistic worst case scenario –the fire department will respond)
• Prior to 9/11 the MPL was rarely considered

Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Four: Considering Other Factors
• Three additional factors should be considered in quantifying
the risks:
• Impact of Actuarial Credibility on Insurance Pricing
• Cash flow Analysis
• Benchmarking

Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Four: Considering Other Factors
• Impact of Actuarial Credibility on Insurance Pricing
• Actuaries use confidence intervals to provide a range of
outcomes about the mean value.
• Actuaries have access to industry data to add validity to a
company’s historic data
• They use the confidence level to add a built in swing to create a
maximum premium for loss sensitive plans

Chapter 4
Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Four: Considering Other Factors
• Cash flow Analysis
• A CF analysis represents the true long-term value (NPV)
• An analysis is done on the two main types of risk financing
• Guaranteed Rate Insurance
• Self-funded combined with Excess Insurance
Guaranteed Rate Insurance
The rate per exposure unit is guaranteed at the policy
inception. At expiration an audit on the exposure basis
is done. The guaranteed rate is applied to the actual
exposure basis (also called a guaranteed cost). The
deposit premium paid at inception has no cash flow
benefits. If paid over time the cash flows are discounted
to the present value – creating a CF benefit

• Cash flow Analysis
•Self-funded with Excess Insurance
A retention of first dollar losses combined with
insurance over (excess of) the retained layer. The
retention relieves the payment of the first layer premium
Example:

Excess insurance $10M limit

Risk Assessment: Quantification
Step Four: Considering Other Factors
• Cash flow Analysis
• Benchmarking
• Comparing one company’s cost of risk to others (industry)
• A cost of risk includes:
• Retained loss costs
• Insurance premiums
• Risk control costs
• Administrative costs
• Cost-of-Risk benchmark studies are available from RIMS
• Caveats
• Assumes the industry is at a desired equilibrium
• Assumes risk financing strategy is to follow others

Impact of Risk on Financial Health
Good risk financing plans are essential to meet shareholders’
expectations
Excessive risk aversion (excessive insurance) decreases
shareholder value
Avoiding risks = avoiding opportunities to create shareholder
value
Quantifying the risks helps to understand which risks (and
rewards) to accept and which risks to avoid
Quantification aids in retaining the optimal level of risk
financing and determining when to transfer to an insurer

Chapter Summary
• What is it?
Measuring the risks and determining the optimal
retention/insurance financing
• Step One: Determine Frequency versus Severity
Plot risks on a frequency:severity map
• Step Two: Quantifying Retained Risk
Use Loss range analysis (stratification), Loss triangles, &
Projected expected losses – used in casualty lines
• Step Three: Property Exposures
Short-term cash flow analysis with consideration for the MPL
• Step Four: Considering Other Factors
Actuarial modeling, Cash flow Analysis, & benchmarking
• Advantages and Disadvantages
Proper quantification leads to efficient risk financing and
creating shareholder value
