17 What Can be (Re)insured at Lloyd’s?

18 The Lloyd’s market is known for its specialist expertise…

19 …and an appetite for unusual risks requiring innovative solutions
Oscar jewels Ilja Gort has insured his nose for €5m. A Dutch wine maker has insured his nose for €5m to cover against any incident that could threaten his livelihood. - GREAT BBC VIDEO INTERVIEW ON THIS LINK More recently, Troy Polamalu’s hair for the Head & Shoulder’s division of Procter & Gamble Coffee tongue - Lloyd's has insured Costa Coffee's Italian Master of Coffee's tongue American football Smile - Ugly Betty star America Ferrera's smile insured at Lloyd's for $10m. The policy was bought by at home teeth-whitening product Aquafresh White Trays as part of a promotion involving the celebrity which aims to raise money for US charity Smiles for Success. Santa Claus - Growing regulatory red tape and fears over litigation, combined with an increasingly risky logistics environment has made it difficult for Santa Claus, who also trades as Father Christmas, to obtain the risk transfer solutions he needs to stay in business. In the 1940s executives at 20th Century Fox had the legs of Betty Grable insured at Lloyd’s for $1 million each. Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards. 19

28 Modernizing Lloyd’s Target Operating Model (TOM)

29 ‘London Matters’ highlighted the threat to London's position as the global centre for commercial (re)insurance The London Market is the largest global centre for commercial and specialty risk and is in a position of strength Ongoing investment in making the market more accessible and efficient Continued strong brand with financial strength ratings reaffirmed, outlook revised to positive Continued focus on our collective vision and goals Increasing retention of risk in high growth developing markets Higher acquisition costs make London a more expensive market to deal with than its competitors An inflexible business servicing model that is inefficient and slow to change, reducing London’s competitiveness The LMG research ‘London Matters’ highlighted a number of obstacles preventing the London Market from fulfilling its potential: Unique London Market requirements that cause barriers to entry Increasing retention of risk in high growth developing markets Higher acquisition costs making London a more expensive market to deal with than its competitors An inflexible operating model that is inefficient and slow to change, with: inefficient paper-based processes, duplicative tasks, lack of structured and useful data, little automation However, the world is changing which is challenging London’s position These challenges are recognised by the market and there is acceptance of the need to change

30 We are seeking to move from a model with many inefficiencies and frictional costs to one that enables an efficient and accessible market of choice Design principle One touch data capture Current operating model Target operating model Inefficient and paper based Highly effective and accessible Inflexible Economies of scale for common activities The London Market has been working together to develop a target operating model – which we call the TOM – that will modernise the market and make it easier to do business. There are two principles at the heart of TOM: First is one touch data capture, which enables us to enter data once on behalf of all carriers and brokers, rather than each doing it themselves over and over again. It reduces the risk of error and costly rework caused by entering data multiple times in multiple formats – as happens today. Second, is enhanced global shared central services. This will centralise many of the Market’s non-competitive tasks and make them more efficient and consistent, while avoiding duplication. The idea here is to build a shared service hub in London as well as regional shared services that serve our global regions but are aligned in terms of processes, technology and data with the central hub. Rather than expending so much time and expense on administration, this will allow brokers and carriers to concentrate on the areas that differentiate their business and make it easier to access the London market from our global markets. Every single aspect of the target operating model has evolved from a collaborative effort by not only the managing agents but also the brokers and our company market colleagues here in London and across the world. In addition, it does not propose a fundamental departure from current market modernisation activity. Instead, it provides a vision that explains why we are doing the work we are in placement, central services, claims, and delegated authorities, defines the overall costs and benefits, ensures that the work is linked together so that once it is implemented, the market has a consistent set of processes and data flows, plugs gaps in data, process and technology, and provides a programme framework based on best practice that actually allows us to deliver something of substantial value this time around.   Fragmented Enhanced data sets Enhanced central services Design principle

31 Responding to emerging risks: our role in an increasingly innovative industry

32 Lloyd’s defines an emerging risk as… “an issue that is perceived to be potentially significant but which may not be fully understood or allowed for in insurance terms & conditions, pricing, reserving or capital setting”.

33 Emerging risks management
Quantification For product innovation & exposure management Evaluation Judgment of significance Assessment Decision-making resources (scenarios) Awareness Thought leadership Horizon scanning: we draw on every available knowledge resource; networks are just as important as published research. It’s important to recognise that there are no tools for perfect horizon scanning: individual curiosity is vital. Evaluation: we regularly review the results of our horizon scanning and make an initial evaluation of the potential significance of the issue for insurance. We also draw on wider sources, including an annual review of Lloyd’s managing agents. Awareness: thought leadership is designed to present an evaluation of the potential significance of an issue for insurers and our clients. It is a very effective tool to stimulate action and collaboration. Assessment: scenarios are a vital tool for translating emerging risks in to real issues for business. We aim to draw on subject matter expertise and insurance practitioner knowledge to devise plausible but extreme scenarios that can explore the significance of issues. Scenarios are not predictions of what will happen: they are plausible visions of the future that can be used as tools to develop products and build resilience. Quantification: the outputs of scenarios enable us to gauge the magnitude and nature of impacts. We also invest in the development of models to assist with the quantification of impacts. Identification Horizon scanning

34 Emerging Risks Survey 2014 (Lloyd’s Managing Agents)
The slide shows the results of the 2014 Lloyd’s Emerging Risks Survey. We asked Lloyd’s managing agents to grade 35 emerging risks according to their potential impact in 2-5 years, and the quality of knowledge/tools available to assess the risk (measured as uncertainty). We capture uncertainty, not likelihood, because the aim of our research and scenario development is to reduce uncertainty, not predict the future. Uncertainty is a metric that we can seek to influence.

36 Until next time… Global Underinsurance Risky Cities

37 This graph shows economic and insurance loss in 2011 for six of the biggest cat events – Japan, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, US Tornadoes and Irene. Red circle is the economic loss Green circle is the insured loss And finally, blue shows, as a subset, the amount of claims incurred by Lloyd’s. It is immediately apparent that the composition of these circles is very different in the US, and New Zealand than others. In the US, out of an economic loss of $25bn, almost $18bn was insured. In Thailand, Only $11 bn of the $44bn loss was insured. Australia - Flood cover (excluding storm flood) is given very sparingly in the Australian market and where it is given it is limited to flash flood (howsoever defined). Torrential monsoonal rains prompted severe flooding across Jakarta last month, leading to at least 41 deaths. Government officials reported insured losses were expected to top IDR3 trillion (US$311 million) and total economic losses would reach IDR32 trillion. (US$3.3bn) Significant flood damage also occurred across portions of Australia’s Queensland and New South Wales.. The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) declared a catastrophe in the two provinces, with a combined 27,800 claims filed and payouts expected to exceed A$300 million (US$313 million). Total economic losses in Queensland alone were estimated at A$2.4 billion (US$2.5bn) No market agreed definition for flood.  The flood losses that were paid by Lloyd’s were mostly from mining interests where we are a specialty market, some binder losses on homeowners and small commercial. Treaty reinsurance was about 30% of the loss which is atypical.  Cover in New Zealand (because of government sponsorship) is almost universal with a near 90% take-up.. There is a social and economic imperative to plug this gap. But it is also a sign of the opportunity we have to grow in economies which are currently underinsured. GDP growth rates in the high growth economies look good. But growth in insurance penetration looks even better…
