Self - sustainability

Hi, just a clarification on this question,

Question 1: how is self-sustainability defined?

Conceptual defn: RECOVER from severe loss scenarios WITHIN a reasonable time
Statistical defn: FOR ALL (base, adverse) scenarios with INITIAL DEFICIT = 6th yr, 95th percentile: MUST RECOVER DEFICIT IN (15yrs on avg AND 25yrs with 80% probability)

Does this mean that there is 15 years additional after the 6 years or there is 9 years after the fund loss?

Comments

  • At the end of the 6th year of projection, the insurer should the deficit on within 15 years on average, and have an 80% chance to recover within 25 years.
    Yes, it would be 15 years AFTER the 6th year has passed so 21 years in total for criteria 1

  • So it says the 'fund balance at 95% percentile' is your initial deficit?

    what exactly is the fund balance comprised of?
    So you are saying, "in the event that this 'fund balance' at 95%'le 6th is our initial deficit, will we recoup deficit within 15 year at 80% or 25 year guaranteed"??

  • Apologies for the delay in answering. We are looking into this.

    The fund would be comprised of money coming from producers, the provincial government, and the federal government.

    Not quite.

    For all base & adverse scenarios:

    • calculate the 95th percentile of the fund balance at the end of the 6th year
    • rerun the scenario with that starting point
    • then the program is self-sustainable IF deficit recovery occurs
      → within 15 years on average, and
      → within 25 years with 80% probability
