ERM Frameworks:“Traditional” Risk Management Process1. Identify loss exposure
2. Measure impact potential
3. Evaluate alternative methods of control– Based on “risk appetite” of organization
4. Implement best alternative
5. Monitor outcomes

Overview of Project• CAS/SOA Request for Proposals on “Modeling of
Economic Series Coordinated with Interest Rate Scenarios”– A key aspect of dynamic financial analysis– Also important for regulatory, rating agency, and internal
management tests – e.g., cash flow testing
• Goal: to provide actuaries with a model for projecting economic and financial indices, with realistic interdependencies among the variables.– Provides a foundation for future efforts
![Page 9: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scope of Project• Literature review
– From finance, economics, and actuarial science
• Financial scenario model– Generate scenarios over a 50-year time horizon
• Document and facilitate use of model– Report includes sections on data & approach, results of
simulations, user’s guide– Posted on CAS & SOA websites– Writing of papers for journal publication

Economic Series Modeled
• Inflation
• Real interest rates
• Nominal interest rates
• Equity returns– Large stocks– Small stocks
• Equity dividend yields
• Real estate returns
• Unemployment
![Page 11: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prior Work• Wilkie, 1986 and 1995
– Used internationally
• Hibbert, Mowbray, and Turnbull, 2001– Modern financial tool
• CAS/SOA project (a.k.a. the Financial Scenario Generator) applies Wilkie/HMT to U.S.

Inflation (q)
• Modeled as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process– One-factor, mean-reverting
dqt = q (q – qt) dt + dBq
• Speed of reversion: q = 0.40
• Mean reversion level: q = 4.8%
• Volatility: q = 0.04
![Page 14: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Explanation of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
• Deterministic component
If inflation is below 4.8%, it reverts back toward 4.8% over the next year
Speed of reversion dependent on • Random component
A shock is applied to the inflation rate that is a random distribution with a std. dev. of 4%
• The new inflation rate is last period’s inflation rate changed by the combined effects of the deterministic and the random components.
![Page 15: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Real Interest Rates (r)• Problems with one-factor interest rate models
• Two-factor Vasicek term structure model
• Short-term rate (r) and long-term mean (l) are both stochastic variables
drt = r (lt – rt) dt + r dBr
dlt = l (l – lt) dt + l dBl
![Page 16: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nominal Interest Rates
• Combines inflation and real interest rates
i = {(1+q) x (1+r)} - 1
where i = nominal interest rate
q = inflation
r = real interest rate
![Page 17: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Equity Returns• Empirical “fat tails” issue regarding equity
returns distribution• Thus, modeled using a “regime switching
model”1. High return, low volatility regime
2. Low return, high volatility regime
• Model equity returns as an excess return (xt) over the nominal interest rate
st = qt + rt + xt

Other Series
• Equity dividend yields (y) and real estate– Mean-reverting processes
• Unemployment (u)– Phillip’s curve: inverse relationship between u
and q
dut = u (u – ut) dt + u dqt + u ut
![Page 22: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Model Description
• Excel spreadsheet
• Simulation package - @RISK add-in
• 50 years of projections
• Users can select different parameters and track any variable
![Page 23: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Parameter Selection
• Selecting parameters can be based on:1. Matching historical distributions or 2. Replicating current market prices (calibration)
• Of course, different parameters may yield different results
• Model is meant to represent range of outcomes deemed “possible” for the insurer
– Default parameters are chosen from history (as long as possible)
![Page 24: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Applications of the Financial Scenario Generator
• Financial engine behind many types of analysis• Insurers can project operations under a variety of
economic conditions– Dynamic financial analysis
– Demonstrate solvency to regulators / rating agencies
– Propose enterprise risk management solutions
![Page 25: Financial Risk Management of Insurance Enterprises Financial Scenario Generators](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061511/56649eef5503460f94bfefdd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CAS/SOA vs. AAA
• AAA models provides guidance for Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements for variable products with guarantees
• Focus is on– Interest rate risk– Equity risk
• 10,000 Pre-packaged scenarios available• Model and scenarios are available at:http://www.actuary.org/life/phase2.asp

Quantification of Model Fit
• Kolmogorov-Smirnov test Tries to determine if two datasets differ
significantlyUses the maximum vertical difference between percentile plots of the data as statistic D
• Chi-square test Take the squared difference between observed
frequency (O) and the expected frequency (E), and then divided by the expected frequency

Summary of Differences• Kolmogorov-Smirnov test Statistic D of CAS-SOA model is smaller than that of AAA C-3
model
• Chi-square test For nominal interest rate, the Chi-square value of CAS-SOA
model is smaller than that of AAA C-3 model
For small stock returns, both models are rejected at significant level of 0.025 while accepted at level of 0.1
For large stock returns, both models are rejected at significant level of 0.05 while accepted at level of 0.1
