Sources of “net Investment income earned” from bonds (4)
investment income = net investment income earned + net investment realized capital gains
- Interest received
- Interest due and accrued
- Interest paid for accrued interest on dividend
- Amortization of premium (sell for more than face value) OR Accretion of discount (sell for less than face value)




Sources of “Net investment realized capital gains” from bonds
investment income = net investment income earned + net investment realized capital gains
- Realized gain/loss on sale at maturity
- Realized foreign exchange gain/loss on disposal/sale (exchange rate movements)(sale must occur)
- Other than temporary impairments recognized (negative)




Sources of Stock Investment income (2)
- Dividends received (during yr)
- Change in accrual for dividends declared but unpaid (change in owed this yr vs last yr)








Define derivative and why buy it?
- financial contract - Value depends on other asset
- to hedge or offset exposure of that other asset
Hedge accounting vs.. mark to market accy
- impact on risk
- impact on surplus
- YES reduces risk vs does NOT reduce risk
- accounted for in same way as underlying asset → offsets hedged asset → NO impact to surplus
vs
change in fair value of derivative = unrealized gain/loss→YES impacts surplus
“capital and surplus” account in income statement does 2 things
- reflects changes in surplus that are not recorded in the income statement
- reconciles beginning surplus to the ending surplus


income statement Incurred (formula) (2)
incurred = ultimate
- Current period ultimate + ∆ in prior period ultimate
- current AY incurred + ∆ in prior AY incurred
- current paid + ∆ in unpaid


net income = 1+2+3 (3 types of income)







NEP=WP - ∆UEP
net incurred L&LAE = AY net inc L&LAE + ∆ in prior AY net inc L&LAE
net incurred L&LAE = Paid net inc L&LAE + ∆ in prior Unpaid net inc L&LAE


UW income = NEP- net incurred L&LAE - other UW expense incurred
investment income = net inv inc earned + net realized cap gains less tax
other income = “other income” + fed/foreign tax incurred - div to policyholders
other income = agent balance charged off + finance/service charges + agg write-ins for misc income




identify 3 situations that result in capital changes and/or surplus adjustments
new issuance of stock
return of captial
transfers from suprlus (retained earnings) to capital when stock dividends (from issued stock) are issued
How issuing new stock is recorded in income statement (2)
- Paid in capital – stock at par value
- Paid in surplus – stock in XS of par value
























3 factors to consider when comparing investment income between insurers
why is it misleading to compare ratio of investment income to premium?
why is it misleading to compare ratio of investmnet income to average invested assets?
- size of invested assets
- level of risk in investment portfolio
- taxes impact on investment income
inv inc to premium: ignores size of invested assets
inv inc to invested assets: ignores level of risk
define other UW expenses incurred in income statement
expense accy requires expense be allocated in 3 ways
total other expenses incurred during year
- LOB
- NAIC operating expense classifications (commsion and& brokerage, TL&F)
- broad expense categories (LAE, other UW, investment)
income statement other UW expenses incurred
how to allocate policy adminsistrative expenses?
how to allocate suprervisor salaries?
why is expense accy allocation relevant to actuaries? (2)
policy adminsistrative expenses: policy count
suprervisor salaries: employee headcount
- impacts pricing
- inaccurate allocation across LOB creates subsidies that obscure true profitability of LOB–> inefficient resource allocaton or adverse selection
what is the impact on surplus if …
- change in unrealized capital gains less capital gains tax = 25
- change in unrealized capital gains gross capital gains tax = 25
+25
+25(1-Tc)
