Governing The Businesses of Uncertainty

• Banking – (Uncertain Assets)• Savers money loaned away. Liability is a known

quantity. Assets are not certain• Manage risk not paid back + liquidity risk of

savers. Biggest risk = assets not there when savers want them

• Engine for growth via risk• Time horizon = daily balancing

• Insurance – (Uncertain Liabilities)• Money invested in bonds & managed so funds

sufficient to meet future promises. • Liability is uncertain, but assets are known• Ensure safety• Time horizon = quarterly to decades

• Exchanges – Price Stabilization & Speculation

Capital as Governance Tool

• Nuance for Insurance Capital• Assets in excess of liabilities to invest or to

return to shareholders (traditional shareholder view) plus

• Required buffer for uncertainty for additional policyholder protection (regulator & policyholder view)

6

Page 7: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Shortcomings of Capital

• Amortized Cost• Does not capture cost of the underlying

guarantees – the heart of insurance• Uses history to project future values

• Market Value• Uses todays pricing of risk to value all

future risks. • Good for assessing cost to hedge all risks,

but volatility is exaggerated

• All Reported Numbers are Approximations – Inherent Uncertainty in Liability Valuation Methods (and some assets)

What is the Important Problem?

• What Pillar 2 (ERM) processes and tools can be used to sustain the Balance Sheet before Pillar 1 indicates the “ship is sunk”.• And, are they robust or smoke and mirrors?

Company Tools

1. Reliance on (and use of) experts (especially actuaries), with those from a profession being, perhaps, the most valuable

2. Organizational structures such as groups

3. Reinsurance, both proportional and non-proportional - to mitigate risk and to act as a form of capital

4. Hedging and asset liability management techniques

5. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) concepts such as emerging risk identification, risk appetites, limits and controls

6. Capital focused on addressing needs in excess of regulatory balance sheet requirements

Page 10: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Company Tools

7. Models, including both external vendor models and internal models (e.g., catastrophe models and economic capital models)

8. Internal model control and validation procedures

9. Stress testing

10. Responsible pricing, product design and inforce management

11. Voluntary disclosures to both shareholders and policyholders

12. Traditional corporate management processes such as disaster recovery, strategic planning, compensation philosophy and market positioning.

ORSA and ERM Framework

The Own Risk and Solvency Assessment is the process by which an insurer assesses its capital needs. The ORSA should be used to establish or change an insurer’s internal target

OSFI’s Corporate Governance Guideline states: “A FRFI [federally regulated financial institution] should

have a Board-approved Risk Appetite Framework that guides the risk-taking activities of the FRFI.”

ORSA is one tool used by an insurer to guide risk-taking activities. ORSA is focused on risk identification and solvency, while ERM focuses on the management of risk towards a well-defined risk appetite

Page 22: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Evolution to ORSA

Dynamic Capital Adequacy Testing (DCAT) Required by OSFI since 1992 for Life insurers (1998 for P&C insurers) Driven by a recognition of the retrospective and static nature of capital

requirement rules Standards for DCAT set by CIA (Canadian Institute of Actuaries), not by OSFI

Internal Capital Target Setting OSFI Guideline A-4 for insurers effective Jun 2011 (revised Jan 2014)

Stress Testing OSFI Guideline E-18 (effective Dec 2009) Outlines OSFI’s expectations with respect to enterprise-wide stress testing

framework for all federally regulated financial institutions

Key Elements in ORSA

Comprehensive identification and assessment of risks

Relating risk to capital

Board oversight and senior management responsibility

Monitoring and reporting

Internal controls and objective review

Importance of the Approach to ORSA

Key point: ORSA is a process

The ORSA report and Key Metrics Report (KMR) are only outputs of the process. They document the ORSA process

Three approaches: Compliance exercise Communication or risk summary Description of process and conclusions

The approach taken can influence the usefulness of the ORSA process

ORSA reports generally identify the insurers’ internal target

However, operating level and Tier 1 internal capital target (for life insurer) usually not discussed in the report

Insurers are not using the ORSA to establish their internal target

Many insurers kept their internal target at pre-2014 levels but without explanation on how it tied to the ORSA

Page 28: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

ORSA: Risk identification Most insurers have not yet fully incorporated their ORSA process as part of their

ERM or strategic planning

No standard definition of risk categories Insurance risk:

In some cases catastrophe risk or reserving is a separate risk category Some definitions include reinsurance risk

Credit risk: In many cases it is strictly reinsurance counterparty credit Sometimes includes policyholder and broker counterparty credit risk Other definitions are investment based

Market risk: FX risk may be included in market risk or as a separate category

Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category is aggregated into a broader category or separated out

Implications: adding up and comparing own capital by risk categories at an industry level may not be meaningful.

Very few reports (~13%) include any own capital for stress testing scenarios

Some reports include a number to bring ORSA capital to the internal target level. Usually labelled a compliance amount under other or as a separate risk line.

Superintendent’s remarks "I understand that many companies are interested in our feedback on the

assessments that they have shared with us. Having seen the broad range of ORSAs, we at OSFI are well positioned to provide you with recommendations for improvement, and to compare your practices with those we see as the best in the industry.”

“And while we are well positioned to do all of that, we are not going to.”

“Why not? Because our overriding goal is to keep the “Own” in ORSA. If we started making specific suggestions to individual companies, we would, inadvertently, start substituting our judgment for yours. Of course we could try to reduce the impact of our comments by noting that they are only suggestions, that you are not obliged to follow our recommendations, that your ideas might well be beter than ours, and so on. But I don’t think insurers ever forget, even for a moment, that we are the supervisor. And so comments that would be perceived as suggestions if they were made by anyone else come across as requirements if we make them.”

Supervisory use

The ORSA process is the insurer’s own assessment of their capital needs. The report documents that process

Supervisors may use the information in the report or supporting documentation in understanding of the institution

The ORSA report is viewed in a manner similar to other internal management reports of the insurer. For example: risk appetite investment management report the insurer’s risk dashboard

22

Page 41: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Supervisory feedback

Supervision may come back to the insurer if:

Clear inconsistency with Guidelines A-4 or E-19 expectations E.g. ORSA process is not used to set internal target

Inconsistency in reporting between the KMR and ORSA report E.g. Numbers do not align

No annual process to update the ORSA

An objective review plan has not been identified

Methodological concerns with the internal target setting E.g. methodologies around diversification, etc.

23

Page 42: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

General feedback to insurers The ORSA report is the documentation of an insurer’s risk

identification and own capital assessment processes. Therefore OSFI will not comment on the:

Structure of the report

Specific risks identified General content of the report

Relating risk to own capital Quantification assessments within the report are not required

(should be documented somewhere within the process) but it may be useful to a Board or Chief Agent

If the ORSA report includes a quantitative assessment, it should reconcile with the data in the KMR

24

Page 43: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

The ORSA process to set targets

The ORSA process is expected to establish the internal target

The ORSA quantification assessment should establish the internal target.

If there is a change of internal target, OSFI may be assessing the adequacy of the revised internal target and may need to review the methodology of the quantitative processes.

25

Page 44: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Common industry questionsQ1: How does ORSA interact with Guideline A-4: Regulatory Capital and Internal Capital Targets?

Q2: Does the requirement to have the internal target greater than 150% apply before or after a stress scenario?

Q3: What are OSFI’s views with respect to having an economic capital model as a basis for setting internal capital targets?

Q4: How does OSFI intend to gain comfort in the internal capital targets derived from ORSA economic models?

Q5: How does OSFI reconcile and/or measure an internal target that is derived from ORSA economic models to a capital ratio calculated using standard MCT factors?

26

Page 45: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Key Metrics Report The Key Metric Report is an OSFI requirement Template should not be modified.

All figures should be consistent with any figures included in the ORSA report (KMR is a summary of how the insurer has related their risks to capital).

Appropriate information, such as location in the ORSA report or supporting documents, should be given in the Methodology and References section.

Needs to be submitted within 30 days of the ORSA report being discussed with the Board (Chief Agent).

27

Page 46: Governance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA · PDF fileGovernance of Uncertainty/Risk & US ORSA ... ORSA reports generally ... Materiality assessment determines whether a risk category

Key Metrics Report

Top 4 Regulatory and ORSA risks in terms of capital are the same but not necessarily ranked in the same order.

Most of the KMR’s had deficiencies in their filing.

Often the amounts in the ORSA report do not reconcile to the numbers in the KMR.

The internal target identified in the report is sometimes different than the ratio on the KMR.

OSFI’s KMR template was modified or adapted by some insurers.

28

Key Metrics Reports

Summary of the results of the insurer’s ORSA process for determining own capital needs and internal target(s).

Insurer is allowed to redefine the respective risk categories based on their unique risk drivers and business needs.

For aggregation/diversification credits used, reference to supporting documents is expected.

KMR must be filed annually with the Lead Supervisor.
