Loss in Reinsurance arbitration with Munich Re

P&L loss of £6,9m in Q2 19 – parties cover own legal cost and split arbitration cost 50/50

  • Following the tragic Grenfell tower fire 14th June 2017, Munich Re raised issues regarding the claim split for GFT
  • Protector has always acted in good faith and was surprised by the issues raised
  • 5 th July 2019, after 18 month of preparations, the Tribunal decided against Protectors understanding
  • The conclusion cannot be appealed
  • The panel did not award legal costs. The panel stated that:
  • "In making its decision on the apportionment of the parties' cost the Tribunal has inter alia emphasized the outcome of the case, the complexity of the matter and how uncertain the determination of the dispute has been"
  • "Protector had good reasons to bring the matter to arbitration"
  • Our client, Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea has never been a part of the dispute
  • As Protector is of the opinion that the company has relied on advice from our professional broker, the loss will be discussed with them

Combined Ratio development

Price increases - too late too little so far

Why are we too late?

  • A lot of focus on Grenfell tower tragedy, arbitration with Munich Re, Gray silverfish crisis and UK set-up
  • Did not see size of motor claims inflation in Nordic

  • Price increases in insurance always takes time (decide, renewal date, earn premium principles; 12-24 months)

  • Price increases have effect in H2 2019 but increased ambitions will have close full effect from 1st January 2020

Price increases H1 19 More to come

  • Stricter UW guidelines on new clients (Started Q1 2019)…..
  • …..Leads too claims prevention requirements, Reduced appetite in certain areas, segment initiatives, changed terms and conditions, increased deductibles and possible client exits
  • Capital consumption issues more important since risk free interest rate is 0
  • Long tail products consume > 100% capital of written premium
  • Reduced appetite Workers Comp. Denmark and Norway
    • Claims inflation >> risk free interest rate
  • Reduced volume or price increases above claims inflation
