− | share aggregate risks

| |
− | With reinsurers
| |
− | With retakaful operators
| |
− |
| |
− | Concept of Lesser Evil (Danger)?
| |
− | For general business, a large proportion
| |
− | is still with conventional reinsurers
| |
− | For family business, retakaful is with
| |
− | one major reinsurer
| |
− | Applying the concept through fixing the
| |
− | “right” retention amount.
| |
− | One Way of Facing This

− | Challenge Is Through

− | Currently does not impact much on

− | takaful retention but should consider
| |
− | long-tail business
| |
− |
| |
− | Rates & Loadings
| |
− | Lower rated risks carry higher retentions
| |
− | Loadings – expenses (including commission), profit -
| |
− | depending on financial model, contingency and tax
| |
− | (depending on the model & tax structure of the
| |
− | country)

− | Retention Limit
| |
− | Degree of Risk (Reflected by Contribution Rate)

| |
− | Example, (study on 300,000 fire risks – largest 5
| |
− | million and 1,000)
| |
− |
| |
− | Rule of Thumb
| |
− | R = y X (Capital + Free Reserves)
| |
− | where - 1% < y < 5%
| |
− | R = 100/n X A
| |
− | Where n is the # of times of large claims
| |
− | per year requiring immediate payment
| |
− | And A equals the liquid assets (should be 5
| |
− | X max retention per loss in company’s
| |
− | most important branch)
| |
− | A more exhaustive method
| |
− | R = X (S) (EC)
| |
− | (GC) (L + E)
| |
− | Where
| |
− | X = 1% - 5%
| |
− | S = surplus
| |
− | EC = earned contribution
| |
− | GC = gross contribution
| |
− | L = loss ratio
| |
− | E = expense ratio
| |
− |
| |
− | So,
| |
− | Have we set the correct retention
| |
− | limits?
| |
− | Can we optimize our retention?
| |
− | Can we improve the bottom line of
| |
− | takaful and retakaful operators?
| |
− | Conclusion
| |
− | Retakaful challenges can be met with :
| |
− | Greater knowledge
| |
− | Enhanced skills
| |
− | Higher financial strength
| |
− | Political will
| |
− | Greater cooperation
