  • I still don't understand why the formula PAA LRC excl LC = UEP - prems receivable - DAC is incorrect. According to the paper, at subsequent measurement the premium portion of the LRC calculation reflects: "premiums received up until the end of …
  • Is it correct to interpret L$ as the maximum loss for the coverage? i.e. Indem$ = MAX ( 0, PG - AP ) x (insured unit price), so if AP = 0 then this becomes: PG x (insured unit price) = L$
  • But why does the wiki say to use the reference portfolio yield "not" adjusted to match the risk profile of insurance contracts when calculating the ALP? It sounds like we are subtracting credit risk from it.
  • 5) would basically be a quantitative assessment of 2), right?
  • I didn't realize that there was an earlier thread discussing this inconsistency. I guess the best thing to do is to clearly state your assumptions. https://www.battleactsmain.ca/vanillaforum/discussion/44/fall-2017-25-ro
  • So if "investment income" does not include realized gains and "net investment income" does, shouldn't the formula for ROR be: ( U/W.Inc - CapGains + NetInvInc + IncFrmSubs ) / GWP instead of: ( U/W.Inc - CapGains + InvInc + IncFrmSubs ) / G…
  • Hi Graham, To clarify, it's 2014F Q13 part a) that is giving me confusion. In this question, we are specifically comparing FARM and RSP, but the sample solution seems to be comparing FA (as a whole) to RSP when it comes to participation ratio. I'…
  • Hi Graham, I'm referring to the 5 classes of business under "Participation Ratios and Sharing" (end of BattleQuiz 1). If I understand correctly, only the first two classes are relevant for determining the participation ratio of FARM: 1) PPA (n…
  • Hi Graham, Above you stated that: "the formula for the Participation Ratio is: PR = Co.EE(not ceded) / Prov.EE(not ceded)" This is true for RSP, but would this also apply to FARM? After all, the member companies don't cede risks to FARM …
  • Or is it saying that the classes of business are the separate pools that need to be allocated among the members, and the way that is done is by taking the market share of non-ceded exposures? I guess what's confusing me is that the paper says the…
  • If the company's participation ratio is based on non-ceded EE, doesn't this contradict page 4 of the text where the five classes of business are listed? There, it states that a member's participation is determined by "Business transferred to a risk …
  • Would the implication then be that the PAA simplification is a conservative estimate of LRC for non-onerous contracts, since (UEP - DAC) should be > 0?
