Report 8: Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Reserve Risk Charges – Differences in Premium Risk Charge by Type of Company

Abstract
The paper examines differences in premium risk factors (PRFs) by type of company, i.e., reinsurers, personal lines, medical malpractice, etc.

Using the calibration approach developed in the CAS Dependencies and Calibration Working Party (DCWP) Report 6, we find that there is a close connection between the differences in PRFs by Type of Company and the “minor line effect” described in DCWP Report 6.

We also find that, even after adjusting for the minor line effect, many types of specialist companies indicate lower PRFs than non-specialists.

This is one of several papers being issued by the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Dependencies and Calibration.

Keywords: Risk-Based Capital, Capital Requirements, Analyzing/Quantifying Risks, Assess/Prioritizing Risks, Integrating Risks
