AbstractIn the last few years we have witnessed growing interest in Dynamic Financial Analysis (DFA) in the nonlife insurance industry. DFA combines many economic and mathematical concepts and methods. It is almost impossible to identify and describe a unique DFA methodology. There are some DFA software products for nonlife companies available in the market, each of them relying on its own approach to DFA. Our goal is to give an introduction into this field by presenting a model framework comprising those components many DFA models have in common. By explicit reference to mathematical language we introduce an up-and-running model that can easily be implemented and adjusted to individual needs. An application of this model is presented as well.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents the findings of a survey of the current Dynamic Financial Analysis (DFA)/Financial Condition Report (FCR) practices in the United Kingdom general insurance industry. An independent samples t test for non-respondent bias was conducted, and the results suggest that the respondent sample is representative of the survey population. The survey results revealed: (1) that the use of DFA techniques in the industry was limited; (2) that scenario testing was the most frequently used technique; (3) that the most common DFA application was the evaluation of reinsurance programmes; (4) that less than ten scenarios were run regularly; (5) that inflation was the most frequently modelled economic variable; (6) that the capability of asset modelling of general insurers was restricted; (7) that the most common method of liability modelling was to use all in force policies in aggregate; (8) that the most common projection periods in DFA and business planning were three years; (9) that the main reason for not using DFA techniques and producing FCR was lack of need; and (10) that views on whether a Guidance Note on FCR specifically for general insurers should be introduced differed.

The aim of this study was to determine the ideal composition of tabarru'-ujrah fund on Sharia Life Insurance company in Indonesia through Dynamic Financial Analysis method. This research is a quantitative with a simulation approach. The simulation model was Monte Carlo simulation. The data using a secondary data from the financial statements of insurance sharia life insurance companies published between 2012-2014. There are two variables that influence the formation of the composition tabarru’ the claims and Retakaful. The results of this study indicate that the ideal composition tabarru'-ujrah funds obtained amounted to 68.73%: 31.27%. The phenomenon that occurs is the composition tabarru’ which showed a reading below 50%, the life insurance industry sharia set much ujrah in every contribution at the time of composition claims and Retakaful in a low position, and ROI DPS received until the end of the forecasting declining and even minus.

AbstractThis paper describes the dynamic financial analysis model currently being used by a property catastrophe reinsurer to manage its business. The model is-an integral part of the day-to-day operations at the Company, and is used as a decision making tool in the underwriting, investment, and capital management processes. The paper begins by describing the framework that the Company uses for risk management. This includes a classification of the risks facing the Company, which is used to define and prioritize their implementation in the model. Also included is a description of the conceptual approach the Company takes to evaluate the tradeoff between risk and return. The paper then goes on to describe the structure and operation of the dynamic financial analysis model and provides examples of its use at the Company, along with illustrative examples of the various types of output it produces.

A review of the cyber insurance domain has been carried out with a description of classical terms from the insurance industry. Have been considered two the most comprehensive today definitions of cyber risk in authors’ opinion. A diagram of processes for cyber risk management using insurance has been presented, and the place of cyber-risk among other company’s risks has been demonstrated, i. e. the context of cyber risk among the risks of any commercial organization has been shown. A typical cyber insurance process has been described, and a scheme of cyber insurance processes has been developed. A brief description of problem areas and controversial issues in cyber insurance, with which cyber-risk insurance practices may face, has been presented, as well as a table showing at which stage of cyber-insurance the specific problems may arise. Has been provided the basic economic utility function, which formalizes decision making for agents with a different attitude to risk. Standards in cyber security, and various software products that can be used as a tool for assessing the security level of an enterprise’s IT infrastructure have been presented, and it has been demonstrated how these products can help in cyber risk assessment. Different methods used at each stage of cyber insurance have been shown.
