Steps in the Pricing Analysis for Proportional Treaties
- 1. Compile historical experience on treaty
- 2. Exclude catastrophe and shock losses
- 3. Adjust experience to ultimate level and project to future periods

3 Special Features of Proportional Treaties
- 1. Sliding scale commission: % of premium paid to ceding company "slides" with actual experience
- 2. Profi t commission: Subtracts the actual loss ratio, ceding commission and a "margin" for expenses from the treaty premium and returns a % of this as additional commission
- 3. Loss Corridors: Ceding company assumes some portion of the reinsurer's liability if the loss ratio exceeds a certain amount
-
Steps of Experience Rating Proportional Treaties
- 1. Gather subject premium and historical losses for as many years as possible
- 2. Adjust subject premium to future level using rate, price, and exposure inflation factors
- 3. Apply loss inflation to historical large losses and determine amount included in layer being analyzed
- 4. Apply excess development factors to summed losses for each period
- 5. Divide trended and developed layer losses by adjusted subject premium
-
Free Cover
- 1. Experience rating in which no losses trend into highest portion of layer being priced
- 2. Use experience rating for lower part of layer and relativities in the exposure rating to project the higher layer
-
3 Categories of Casualty Per Occurrence Excess Treaties
- 1. Working Layer - low layer attachment which is expected to be penetrated several times
- 2. Exposed Excess - attaches below some policy limits but penetrated less frequently
- 3. Class Covers - high attachment; single policy loss will not penetrate layer
-
Steps of Experience Rating Casualty Per Occurrence Excess Treaties

- 2. Adjust subject premium to future level using rate, price and exposure inflation factors
- 3. Apply loss severity trend to individual historical losses and cap at applicable policy limit

Exposure Factor for Umbrella Policies
-
Exposure Factor for Umbrella with ALAE included in Loss
- Exposure Factor = [E(x; min(PL, (AP + Lim)/(1 + e))) -E(x; min(PL, AP/(1 + e)))] / E(x; PL)
- where
- a) PL = Policy Limit on Umbrella
- b) AP = Treaty attachment point
- c) Lim = Treaty Limit
- d) e = ALAE as % of loss Capped at PL
