Notes to the Group financial statements continued
Note 23 Financial risk factors continued
Insurance risk
Tesco Bank is exposed to insurance risk indirectly through its profit sharing commission arrangement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC.
Insurance risk is the risk of fluctuations in the timing, frequency or severity of insured events, relative to the expectations at the time of underwriting.
The frequency and severity of claims and the sources of uncertainty for the key classes that Tesco Bank is exposed to are as follows:
Motor insurance
Claims experience is quite variable, due to a wide range of factors, but the principal ones are age, gender and driving experience, type and nature
of vehicle, use of vehicle and area. There are many sources of uncertainty that will affect Tesco Bank’s experience under motor insurance including
operational risk, reserving risk, premium rates not matching claims inflation rates, the weather, the social, economic and legislative environment
and reinsurance failure risk.
Property insurance
The major causes of claims for property insurance are theft, flood, escape of water, fire, storm, subsidence and various types of accidental damage.
The major source of uncertainty is the volatility of weather.
