The traditional EV and pricing methodology neglects the effects of interest rate guarantees and other embedded options of Insurance liabilities. In markets which give substantial interest guarantees compared with the Capital Markets interest rate and where Life insurance companies invest a substantial amount of their assets in volatile instruments like shares or real estate, the traditional way of calculating EVs and of pricing products is likely to overstate EVs and to underprice products. Regulatory constraints on the distribution of profits between shareholders and policyholders. Interest rate guarantees Right to stop premium payments. Right to waive planned premium increases. Right to increase insured sums at predetermined levels. Right to purchase annuities at predetermined levels. De facto guaranteed, option-like, profit-sharing policies.
There are several ways to document the output of the risk identification process A simple method is to create tables where each row represents a unique risk and each Manageable risks should be prioritized and assigned to each managerial level in consideration of its priority and scope Where the line is drawn between each level depends on the number of risks, number of management levels and the capacity of management at each level to address risks Regardless of how the risks are assigned, what’s important is not to have risks “slip through the cracks” Just because a risk is not considered strategic does not mean that it should not be managed somewhere in the organization The simplest way to accomplish this is to establish a cross-functional team that reviews the information documented in the prior step and assigns a score to each risk The team should be briefed on management objectives, financial/operational performance metrics, and the risk attributes that should be considered (e.g., likelihood, severity, quality of controls)
Once capital is attributed to each segment and the required rate of return of each segment is determined in relation to risk, a company can measure the value creation or value destruction associated with each business segment. This chart shows the result of such an analysis (or value creation audit) for a company with five major business segments arranged from left to right in declining order of value creation. In this company, A,B, create value while C is at value break even and D and E destroy value. Also note the value destruction associated with excess capital.
