Statistical quality standards (pages 25-26)


Existing
l Extent of reliance on syndicate data
l Reference should be made to market data but needs to be adjusted to reflect syndicate characteristics
l Data should not be excessively smoothed as this is likely to understate volatilities
New
l Expect the person responsible for any analysis supported by data to “sign off” that data meets criterion allowing for proportionality

Calibration Standards (pages 27-28)


Existing
l Model should be calibrated using a VaR measure with a 99.5% confidence level, over a one year period
l Non modelled risks should be calibrated to the 99.5% confidence level and a suitable aggregation method should be used
l The model must be able to calculate a separate ICA for each syndicate covering all years of account of the syndicate combined

l
The model should allow output into constituent risk groups and be capable of showing the result by risk group both pre and post diversification

l The drivers of risk in each risk group should be identified and described
l The model should allow sensitivity testing of the main parameters as requested
l Prescribed sensitivity tests are required as part of ICA pro-forma
New
l Model should be flexible enough to allow for outputs other than the 1:200 level result
l Output must address Solvency II risk categorisations for comparison with standard formula SCR

Profit & loss attribution (page 29)


Existing
l Provide analysis of model output against actual loss experience
l Review validity of past data over time as trends emerge and experience changes
New

l Analysis of emerging experience versus model expectations may need to be regularly reported to Lloyd’s

Validation Standards (pages 30-31)


Existing
l Stress tests are needed to validate the model output for reasonableness and to help with calibrating assumptions
l Stress and scenario tests must be relevant to their business and sufficiently extreme to represent the 1:200 level

l
Sufficient data over and above a syndicate’s own data should be considered and additional stress tests performed on uncertain assumptions

l All models must be subject to sensitivity analysis


l Management and Board understanding of sensitivity testing
l Validate ICA against ECR and explain differences
New
l Output of internal model will have to be compared against standard formula SCR for at least first two years of internal model use
l Validation function should be independent of the person parameterising the model to allow objective and robust challenge

l
Board should have overall responsibility for validation - management information on validation should be presented to the board and challenged
by it
l Validation of the model should be carried out at least annually (appropriate frequency should be assessed by materiality)

l
Goodness of fit of probability distributions should be tested where statistical techniques are used, including both the choice of distribution and the
parameters
l Actual vs expected analysis should be part of the validation process (expected to be at a class of business level)
l Validation should consider not only emerging claims experience but ‘all new data’ including:
¢ non-claims experience that could affect the profit and capital position
¢ new external quantitative information
¢ qualitative information, both internal and external

scenario testing to validate use

Notes
1 Agents should detail whether they currently feel they have a sufficient understanding of the requirement and what it is trying to achieve, bearing in mind that further guidance and detail will be provided going forward as the Level 2 implementing measures are developed. Agents should
also consider the extent to which the understanding of the requirement is shared across the organisation.
2 Details should be provided as to what additional work the agent feels needs to be completed by them in order for the appropriate people at the agency to reach an adequate level of understanding of the requirement. Agents should also include here anything that Lloyd’s could do or
provide to assist in reaching this understanding.
3 Agents should state whether they currently meet both the new and existing requirements.
4 Where the agent has identified a shortfall in meeting any of the expected requirements, they should provide detail as to where the gap arises.
5 For each identified gap, detail should be provided as to what actions are planned in order for the agent to address this gap and meet the requirement as it is currently envisaged.
6 For those requirements not currently met, agents should state the approximate date by which they expect to become compliant (in particular whether they expect to have addressed any gaps in time for the dry running process).
7 Agents should state the name and job title of those individuals responsible for completing each specific action identified.
8 An indication of the time required to address this gap (e.g. in person months) should be provided.
9 Agents should estimate here the amount and level of resource necessary to become compliant with the requirements where these are not currently met. In particular, agents should highlight areas where they expect that additional resource will be required and what form this additional
resource will take.
10 Agents should select a status of red, amber or green to reflect the size and nature of the gap identified, and the level of risk associated with not complying with the requirement by the time of Solvency II implementation.
