We will cover the technical approach, key considerations, and pitfalls in these rating methods.

C-8: Embedded Insurance and Bolt-on Covers
The session will focus on the use of reinsurance for both embedded insurance products and as an add on or bolt-on reinsurance coverage. The concept of embedded insurance and bolt-on insurance heavily supported by reinsurance are not new concepts but they have become very popular of late. Embedded insurance is a type of bundling and sale of insurance coverage or protection while a consumer is purchasing a product or service, bringing the coverage directly to the consumer at the point of sale. A good example of embedded insurance is many of the auto manufacturers now offer insurance to vehicle purchasers at the point of sale. Embedded insurance is more commonly available today based on technology improvements, a market desire to innovate and improved regulations. Many reinsurers offer bolt-on insurance programs for carriers and risk-bearing organizations as reinsured solutions. Examples of such coverage include boiler and machinery, custom cyber liability programs to EPLI, as well as flood insurance offerings. The session will explore these insurance and reinsurance offerings and relationships with panel members that provide these coverages.

Social Inflation has been an important topic for (re)insurers for years as the industry has seen increasingly larger claim costs in part due to third party litigation funding and increasing likelihood of juries to award large verdicts. In recent years, economic inflation has also been a factor leading to even further rising claim costs. The combination of these two types of inflation can have a significant impact on (re)insurer books of business. This panel discussion will cover an update on the current economic and social inflationary environments, the interactions between the two, and how (re)insurers can use this information going forward.

D&O experienced significant rate increases over a three year period but that suddenly changed last year and caught the market by surprise. Why did this happen and what should we expect this year and going forward? Is D&O still a growth opportunity? Are rates falling due to declining risk or irrational exuberance? This session will delve into these topics from an actuarial and underwriting perspective.

? What are the implications of temporary loan forbearance for the mortgage market in the future;
? What is the impact of higher interest rates and slowing home price appreciation/depreciation on future performance;
? How do the global markets compare to the US market in terms of the impact of various economic factors including the Australian Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) market;
? How might dislocations in the capital markets including reduced CRT bond liquidity during the pandemic and widening spreads impact the demand for CRT reinsurance capacity;
? How has the new FHDA capital rule impacted the GSEs CRT programs to date, and how might it affect them in the future?
