with their business
Manage and own risks of all transactions
regardless of ultimate approval level
Report exposures to independent risk function
“Second line of defense” – Independent Risk
management functions
Independent risk analysis and monitoring
Challenge and provide input for risk strategy
Recommend limits and monitor adherence to
limits

Financial Crisis: How Munich Re weathered the Storm
Historical Analysis: Munich Re managed three major
economic crises in Germany in the 20th century
Economic environment
Impact on Munich Re
Default of German government and corporate
bonds
Depreciation of saving accounts and life insurance
policies
Collapse of economic life (salary depreciation,
increasing unemployment)
Initially, claims inflation leading to high combined
ratios, subsequently new contract conditions
introduced (e.g. interim premium adjustments)
Munich Re investments only partially affected due
to foreign participations and real estate
Strong competitive position of Munich Re
due to available capacity
World
economic
crisis
1929–32
Decreasing turnover of companies
Crash in stock markets and high corporate default
rates
Protectionist trade policy
High unemployment rates
Drop in premium by 25%
High losses in credit and life insurance
Positive claims development
Overall positive and relatively stable returns in each
year
Monetary
reform
1948
Increased money supply and subsequent inflation in Munich Re suffered losses due to the depreciation
Germany (Reichsmark)
of Reichsmark
Default of German government and corporate
Rebuilding of foreign business accelerated by rapid
bonds
setup of the DM opening balance sheet
90% depreciation of private pension policies
Financial strength was re-established within three
years (e.g. premium increase by 30%)
Hyperinflation
1922/23
Munich Re successful in mastering prior crises,
but current situation requires analysis of further scenarios

ERM developments at Munich Re
Development and implementation
Reality check
Evaluation and enhancements
Strategic decision taken
after 2002–2003 crisis:
Subprime crisis in 2007
and subsequent capital
market crisis in 2008
constitute an extremely
taxing environment
Efforts around ERM have
prevented
Munich Re from the worst
in this crisis
Redesign of investment strategy
to reduce dependency on capital
markets; state-of-the-art ALM
implemented
Sustainable profitability
achieved in core businesses
Central ERM teams established
under CRO leadership (2004);
risk governance/measurement/
reporting strengthened
First real test of ERM
framework
Highlights the
importance of risk
management in its
original role – in addition
to the business enabler
Strengthens position of ERM
teams

improvements ongoing
2002 crisis has triggered necessary developments of ERM

Financial Crisis: How Munich Re weathered the Storm
Munich Re has taken measures proactively
and early in the crisis
Changes to the counterparty limit
system, with a significant increase in
credit equivalent exposure (CEE)1
weights
Strong overall reduction of the maximum
counterparty limits for banks (approval
of special limits for few selected banks)

Review of rating system for our cedants and their banks
Reduction of exposure in the financial sector through sales or hedges
Active letter-of-credit management for client accounts
Crisis management with focus on capital preservation

Financial Crisis: How Munich Re weathered the Storm
State of the insurance industry
Industry eventually survived crisis relatively unharmed, with notable exceptions
However, industry threatened by spill-over of regulatory concepts directed to
banks
At times, risk capacity was an issue (sometimes unnoticed)…
…but industry was lucky that Solvency II has not been in place at year end 2008
Uncertainty around Solvency II calibration has recently depressed insurance
sector…
…but finally there are some good news: QIS5 calibration looks more reasonable
than what could be expected
Future earnings potential under pressure due to lower investment income –
insurance companies again in search for yield enhancement
Industry still too dependent on banking industry – government debt an increasing
concern

Preparation for ERM in Europe: Munich Re’s Support
Preparation for ERM in Europe: Solvency II - a trigger for Risk Management
Solvency II is the regulation that comes closest to an
enterprise risk management system
Relative implementation level of enterprise risk
management concept
High
Solvency II
Swiss Solvency Test
Planned adaptations of Solvency II in
Japan, Israel, Mexico, Chile, Bermuda, etc...
Low
Adjustments of risk-based capital type
regulation (USA, Canada, ...)
Solvency II objectives
Overall goal: Consumer
protection
Creation of a harmonised
supervisory system throughout
Europe based on the actual risk
situation of each insurance
company
Extending the existing
quantitative supervisory system
through development of
companies' own internal risk
models and risk management
processes
Adding a qualitative aspect to
the supervisory system through
internal risk management
system requirements

Preparation for ERM in Europe: Solvency II - a trigger for Risk Management
Solvency II brings more discipline to the insurance
industry
Solvency II acts as a catalyst…
…to resolve some old industry issues
Example: Primary life insurance
Issue: Long-term guarantees and options often not properly
priced and hedged
Solvency II: Requires capital for mismatch; demonstrates
where return is insufficient for risk taken
Solution: Improving ALM, product design
Longterm
industry
issues
Solvency
II
Solutions to
these issues
Example: Reinsurance
Issue: Reinsurance programmes not always optimal in terms
of risk transfer
Solvency II: Reinsurance matters for capital requirements
Solution: Impact of reinsurance structures can be measured
and optimised
Example: Investments
Issue: Insufficient profitability of underwriting compensated by
taking high investment risks
Solvency II: Risk capacity places limit on this strategy
Solution: Focusing on profitable underwriting
Solvency II brings more discipline to the industry

19
Preparation for ERM in Europe: Solvency II - a trigger for Risk Management
The effects of Solvency II will change the
insurance sector
Some general assumptions:
1
Increment of
capital
requirement
Identification and evaluation of all relevant risks
Long term products will require more capital (more volatile)
Consideration of guarantees and options
2
Available capital
will rise
Assets and Liabilities will be evaluated by a „market value approach“
The available capital will rise but the volatility will be higher in time
3
Risk
management &
transparency
Better qualitative processes for risk steering/control
Use of quantitative models for an overall risk modelling
Value proposition of risk transfer is measurable
4
Asset Risk
An aggressive asset allocation will not compensate any more technical losses –
higher risk capital for venturous asset allocation
Reduction of volatile asset categories
5
Product
adaptations
Actual products are put to test (risk capital intensive?)
New products will appear (less risk capital intensive)

Preparation for ERM in Europe: Solvency II - a trigger for Risk Management
Solvency II is a trigger for Enterprise Management and
Value based Management
Minimising cost of risk capital
Challenges are varied:
Enterprise Risk Management
Financial conglomerates
Diversification (risk segments, perils,
regions, portfolio size)
Big, international insurance
undertakings
Operational Excellence (product design,
pricing, risk selection, claims,…)
Medium-sized to small insurers
Asset-liability matching
Monoliners
Risk Transfer: Traditional R/I,
Securitization, Portfolio Swaps
Reinsurers
Niche insurers
M&A
In the past, success was measured by combined ratio and investment income.
Return on risk adjusted capital is the new key figure that is also used by MR.

Preparation for ERM in Europe: Solvency II - a trigger for Risk Management
Solvency II introduces a new era changing the setup of
the insurance sector
Potential solutions
Primary life
insurance
Improving asset-liability-matching (e.g. lengthening of asset duration, use of interestrate options)
Changing products to reduce sensitivity of liabilities to capital markets and
unpredictable claims volatility
Charging for embedded options
Development of new product categories (e.g. variable annuities)
Reinsurance
Budget or tradition-driven reinsurance programme structure to be replaced by optimised
risk transfer
Line or segment of business-driven reinsurance programme structure to be replaced by
whole portfolio risk transfer approach
Combining traditional reinsurance with capital-market-oriented solutions
Investments
Towards lower risk and better diversified investment strategies (away from typical
‘equities and government bonds’ strategy)
Focus on profitability of underwriting
Requires improvements in value-based-management (pricing based on risk-free
interest rates and present value of cost for non-hedgeable risk capital)

Preparation for ERM in Europe: Munich Re’s Support
The qualitative impact of reinsurance
Reinsurance can be used as a risk-mitigation tool, for example in respect of
liquidity risk.
Besides, reinsurance can improve qualitative risk management in terms of
process support (i.e. underwriting, claims management), second opinion,
consultancies, and support of process excellence. No extra fee will be charged
because these additional services are normally covered by the reinsurance
contract.
Compared to third-party consulting services, which have to be paid additionally
by the insurer, the quality of reinsurance advice differs fundamentally: The
reinsurer shares the risk with its cedant, by participating in the underwriting result
of the reinsurance contract (“follow-the-fortunes” principle).
Best services means best protection for both parties.
