Report on Covariance Method for Property-Casualty Risk-Based Capital

Abstract
The Actuarial Advisory Committee to the NAIC Property/Casualty Risk-Based Capital Working Group has developed a recommended method for treating covariance. Our technique combines the separately-determined RBC amounts for all of the risk elements, assuming that everything bad doesn't occur at once. The proposal is based on data analysis as much as possible and, we believe, sound judgment otherwise. We have included results from our recent extensive analysis of underwriting risk over 1982-91, from testing on individual companies and from comments on earlier proposals.
