U.S. Thunderstorm Insured Loss Trends,

producers of large scale loss.

1980s. The 5-year
running average
loss is up sharply

New Research Suggests Increase in
Convective Activity Is Costly for Insurers
•  Study examines convective (hail, tornado, thundersquall and heavy
rainfall) events in the US with losses exceeding US$ 250m in the period
1970–2009 (80% of all losses)
•  Past losses are normalized (i.e., adjusted) to currently exposed values
•  After normalization there are still increases of losses
•  Increases are correlated with
the increase in the meteorological
potential for severe thunderstorms
and its variability
For the first time research shows
that climatic changes have already
influenced US thunderstorm losses

Summary of President’s Working Group
Report on TRIA (April 2014)
n  Insurance for terrorism risk is available and affordable
w  Availability/affordability have has not changed appreciably since 2010
n  Prices for terrorism risk insurance vary considerably depending on the
policyholder’s industry and location of risk
n  Prices have declined since TRIA was enacted
w  Currently ~3% to 5% of commercial property insurance premiums
n  Take-up rates have improved since adoption of TRIA
w  Overall take-up rate is steady at ~60% (62% in 2013 per Marsh)
n  Market capacity is currently tightening given uncertainty over TRIA
reauthorization
n  The private market does not have the capacity to provide reinsurance for
terror risk to the extent currently provided by TRIA
n  In the absence of TRIA, terrorism risk insurance would likely be less
available. Coverage that would be available likely would be more costly and/
or limited in scope

Consequences of Substantially
Restructuring TRIA
n  Increases in required insurer retentions/deductibles do not
“create” new capacity
n  New capacity has entered primarily because:
w  TRIA remains in place
w  No major successful attack has occurred since 9/11
w  Modest improvement in modeling/understanding terror risk
n  Many smaller/medium-sized insurers are likely already at or
near their exposure limits, so increasing required retentions
will not incentivize them to write more coverage
w  A.M. Best: 19% of insurers with < $500 million in surplus failed
stress tests; 11% of those with $500 to $1 billion failed
w  Insurance Information Institute: Insurers with <$500 million in
surplus wrote 16.8% of TRIA-back lines in 2012; those with less
than $1 billion in surplus wrote 23.6% of TRIA-backed coverages

Consequences of a Failure to Reauthorize
TRIA Followed by a Major Terrorist Attack
n  If TRIA is not reauthorized, only limited private insurance
would be available to cover losses arising from future attacks
w  Potentially large gap between insured and economic losses
n  The federal government would be called upon to provide very
large amounts of aid (tens of billions of dollars +)
w  Federal govt. has no delivery mechanism for post-attack aid
w  Under TRIA, federal response largely piggybacks on an efficient
pvt. Insurer claims adjusting and payment system
n  The existing standalone market would likely seize and contract
w  Depletion of capitalàAvailability crunch, Prices soar
w  Uncertainty over likelihood of future attacks
w  Terrorism exclusions would become ubiquitous
n  Congress would likely be compelled to legislate TRIA anew

8-10% for traditional reinsurance, according to Dowling &
