The Liability Insurance Crisis Insurance industry abandons public
entities
○ Dramatic premium increases
○ High deductibles
○ Restricted coverage
○ Constrained availability

Almost before most pools could begin operation, the market cycle saw:
Crisis end
Prolonged soft market established

The Science of the Pooling Effect
• In this simulation by a random number generator, the result is a collective net gain of $7,500 ($75 per person).
• Individual stakes are lower, despite total stakes increasing 100 fold.
54 participants have to get tails to create a loss ($11 per person).

The Science of the Pooling Effect
The tipping point is now when 540,000 people get tails, which is almost impossible with a 50/50 chance on each flip. There is a certain net gain.

Risk Pools apply the science of the Pooling Effect if its risks are:
Analogous
Diversified
Uncorrelated

The Pooling Effect in Practice
FinancesPublic Entities value long term cost:
Stability
Predictability
more than the market cycle that can occasionally deliver lower costs.

The Pooling Effect in Practice
Finances The combining of uncorrelated risks always
produces the pooling effect
Prudent funding results in surplus funds

Capital accrual

The Pooling Effect in Practice
Finances
Pools cost of capital is relatively low
○ No capacity/ROE conflict.
○ Tax exempt investment accelerates accrual.

The Pooling Effect in Practice
Collegiality
Information and knowledge sharing
Joint initiatives
Pool resources
Not viewed as giving a competitive advantage to an adversary.

The Pooling Effect in Practice
Risk Management Services
Sector-specific knowledge and experience applied for
benefit of all members
Higher risk members can’t be underwritten out of the
pool
Risks themselves must be:
○ Identified
○ Monitored
○ Mitigated
![Page 21: The Pooling Effect MUNICIPAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION of British Columbia Tom Barnes Chief Executive Officer & General Counsel tbarnes@miabc.org.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dc45503460f94ab71c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Pooling Effect in Practice
Customized Coverage
Goal is to provide members the coverage they need.
○ Risks emerge and evolve, so must coverage
○ Even where there is no market to provide it

The smallest member has access to the
resources usually available only to the
largest members.
