Understand the Non-Life Earthquake Risk Grouping Simplification

Overview

Article 90b permits grouped natural catastrophe exposure data where the highest applicable risk weight is retained for each group.[1]

Input Terms

  • Earthquake Group Sum Insured: The sum insured for each earthquake exposure group used in the Article 90b natural catastrophe simplification.[1][2]
  • Earthquake Group Highest Risk Weight: The highest applicable earthquake risk weight assigned to the exposure group.[1][2]

Technical Rationale

For earthquake, the grouped exposure remains Article 122-compliant only when each group retains the highest applicable earthquake-zone weight.[2]

Important Notes

  • Grouping condition: The simplification should not understate earthquake exposure by combining zones with different risk weights unless the Article 90b highest-risk-weight rule is preserved.[1]
