Main differences between approved and own PIM

  • Windstorm model: Approved PIM based on standard formula. More validation required for approval.
  • Correlation between market risk and underwriting risk: Approved PIM based on standard formula. Own PIM takes account of dependencies between underwriting risk and market risk through common exposure to interest rates, inflation rates and currency rates.
  • Prudential margin: Approved PIM includes general prudential margins for both market risk and underwriting risk.

Figures as at 30.06.2023.

1) Most of non-life and health iunderwriting risk and market risk related to the non-life and health insurance business is internally modelled. The standard formula is used for other risks. 2) Own partial internal model is not validated. Gjensidige Forsikring Group 38
