3 Multivariate risk models: Capturing dependency Modelization of aggregate claim amounts associated to individuals in a portfolio Different lines of business that belong to a given insurance company A given line of business of that belong to several insurance companies. Claims are caused by an event and the severities are correlated to the magnitude of it. Third-party liability motor: Bodily injured claims and property damage claims Workers Compensation: Medical claims and income replacement claims June 24 th of 2015 Liverpool 3/25

4 Univariate risk model: How to include dependency? A univariate total claim amount random variable is defined by X = N U i i=1 N is a counting random variable {U i } i N is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Dependency occurs Between the claim severities Between the claim frequencies June 24 th of 2015 Liverpool 4/25
