– Limited market provided by carriers• Used for perils not covered elsewhere• Flood / Water Damage• Earthquake• EQ / Flood

– 80% of the losses covered by DIC insurance

DIC Development

• Ocean Marine– DIC purchased by a merchant to fill perils

gap between the open cargo policy and any insurance required by the merchant’s sale contract

• Inland Marine– DIC purchased to provide “All Risk” as a

supplement to the Fire and “Named Perils” coverage provided.

DIC Development

• Insurance Forms Today– Generally the admitted / standard property

form already provides “All Risk” coverage– The DIC is purchased to provide coverage

for perils excluded in the “All Risk” policy often for the catastrophe perils

Supply And Demand In The DIC Marketplace• Limited capacity with a limited number

of markets• Little or no new capacity entering the

market• Emphasis of underlying acceptability has

moved to the BETTER risk– Better meaning better construction and

generally newer

DIC Coverage Trends

• Coverage options are being narrowed• Policy wording is being clarified,

improved and often times more restrictive

• Deductibles are larger and more specific• Not all carriers are willing to follow

other carrier’s DIC forms (no following form)

DIC

• The DIC will exclude any loss covered by the original property policy (referred to as an “underlying policy”)

• If coverage for the same peril exists in both policies - the other insurance clause will be invoked in both policies

22

Methods To Exclude Perils On a DIC• Exclude the perils covered by the

underlying policy by including a list of traditional named perils as excluded perils in the DIC

• Exclude the perils on the underlying policy by specifically identifying the specific policy by policy number and insurer name.

23

Methods To Exclude Perils On a DIC• Make a statement that all perils covered

by ISO Cause Of Loss Forms are excluded on the DIC

• Require that the insurance carry an “all risk” parallel policy whereby DIC applies only to the differences in coverage on the DIC and All Risk Policy unless otherwise excluded

The Excluded Perils Under a DIC Policy May Include• Fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or

hail, smoke, aircraft or vehicles, riot or civil commotion, vandalism and sprinkler leakage

• Explosion of hot water boilers or hot water heaters, mechanical breakdown and arcing– Creates a gap between DIC and Equipment

Breakdown coverages

National Flood Insurance Program• Why offer NFIP

– Can’t purchase coverage in standard market

– Forced Placed - Lending Documents– Capacity reasons– Carrier requirements (Excess Clause)

National Flood Insurance Program• 100 Year Flood Zones (A and V elevation/wave

wash) • Limited coverage available on amount• Limited coverage available based on area• Limited coverage based on

comprehensiveness of “buy back”– No Business Income– No Building Ordinance

• Must purchase as first layer in order to qualify for FEMA

Flood Endorsements

• Endorsements are available with different insurance companies modifying the property forms.– Caution: the endorsements vary as to the

comprehensiveness of coverage and deductibles applicable.

– Caution: Company endorsements do not substitute for NFIP to qualify for FEMA

Combination NFIP and DIC

• Often the most cost effective means of securing adequate limits

• Flood coverage calls for the purchase of a maximum available limit under the NFIP and excess under a DIC– Caution: the Federal Program’s coverage

may be more restrictive then the DIC or vice versa

Difference in Conditions

• Standard / Surplus Line Market (DIC)– May exclude Flood Hazard Zones – Large Deductibles ($ or %) w/ Minimums– Larger limits available – Can provide coverage for Business Income

and Extra Expense

Earth Movement, Flood and Wind• The typical DIC policy first excludes the

perils • The form will specifically add back the

named perils of Earth movement, Flood and wind

Earth Movement, Flood and Wind• Caution:

– It is essential to compare the language of the Property AND DIC exclusions with the named peril description providing the coverage

– The exclusions may be much more comprehensive then the buy backs

• When property is located in a mapped area that has significant exposure to wind, storm surge, etc. the property insurer will often excluded wind/hail losses.

• The DIC carrier will provide the coverage, but subject to specific underwriting, additional premium and deductibles

More Than One Company Providing Coverage

• Participation, Quota share– All insurers participating

take a proportionate share of the limits provided.

– Each participant accepts a certain percentage of the risk in return for the same share of the premium.

• Excess of Loss (Layering)– This option is where one or

more participants accept the “first dollar” of loss, and one or more participants accept losses only after the lower participants’ participation is fully exhausted.

Structuring the Coverage

• Two or more policies– Layer

• Limits exceed one carrier’s capacity• Property presents frequency and/or severity

loss exposures– Participation policies

• One carrier does not have capacity to provide the excess limits

• Premium will vary depending on the limits being provided in each layer by carrier

• Layering– First layer

• Most expensive– Second layer and subsequent layers

• Placed when first layer underwriter has reached capacity

Layering Coverage

• Example:– $15,000,000 coverage requirement

• 3 carriers each share at $5,000,000 each• Each carrier shares all loss within the layer and

pays 1/3 of the loss– $15,000,000 coverage requirement

• 1 carrier has $10,000,000 and pays 2/3 of the loss

• 2nd carrier has $5,000,000 and pays 1/3 of the loss

Critical Considerations in Layering• Coverage must match – exactly• Each carrier provides their own form

and there will be differences– Follow lead language endorsement– Not always available

Limits Of Insurance

• Defined as the MOST the insurance company will pay in any one occurrence

• Flood and Earthquake typically have annual aggregates.– Annual aggregates apply separately to each

peril, specifically Earthquake and Flood– Annual aggregate is the most the company

will pay in any annual period– No reinstatement of aggregate

Occurrence Language

• Key component• Earthquake, Flood and Named Storms

typically use a time reference – all loss within that time frame is deemed to be one loss

• Earthquake– 72 hours– 168 hours

Occurrence Language

• Flood / Wind– 72 hours

• For EQ, Flood, Wind– Loss or damage must be covered either

before inception (“nose” coverage) or after expiration (“tail coverage) within the occurrence definition

“Nose” Coverage LanguageExclusion D.6. is replaced by the following: 6. We will not pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from

any Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption that begins before the inception of this insurance.

But we will pay for loss or damage by Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption that occurs on or after the inception of this insurance, if the series of Earthquake shocks or Volcanic Eruptions began within 72 hours prior to the inception of this insurance.

Deductibles

• Earthquake Deductible: 10% total INSURED value at the time of the loss / per unit basis: building, BPP, BI/EE

• Note that MANY DIC policies have the deductible taken against INSURABLE value

• Minimum earthquake deductible: $25,000• Flood Deductible: $50,000 per loss

Deductible Buy Down Policies

• Depending on the limits and exposure for CAT loss, i.e., EQ, Flood, wind, the deductibles on the DIC policy can be significant

• Limited number of insurance companies offer a deductible buy down

Buy Down Examples• LIMIT: The Difference between the original

deductibles being USD 250,000 per Occurrence or USD 500,000 per Occurrence in respect of locations with roofs 10 years or older and the Insured’s Retention.

• Maximum recoverable under this policy USD 450,000 per Occurrence but USD 1,800,000 in the annual aggregate

• INSURED’S RETENTION: USD 50,000 per Occurrence locations or coverages involved.

Underwriting Information Required• COPE

– Construction, Occupancy, Protection (private and public), Exposure

• AGES– If the buildings are older than 30 years, provide

any structural updates, including roof replacement– Many buildings may be updated to new seismic

codes for occupant safety, but have little impact on constructive total loss probability to the structure. Therefore, will not assist in reducing EQ pricing or acceptability.

Proposal from Wholesalers

• Review sub-limits• Review coverage endorsements,

limitations and enhancements• Verify that all forms on each layer are

REALLY consistent– Coverage is often placed based upon

capacity but there has been no conscious attempt to coordinate coverage terms or conditions

• Working Layer– A layer that is expected to have exposure to

frequency losses, or losses considered within the PML

• Buffer Layer– A layer that is expected to have lower frequency

than a working layer. – This layer is expected to only pay loss if some low

probability event occurs. – This layer would be involved in a Maximum

Foreseeable Loss
