A Bayesian and a Frequentist are out walking in a storm...

Frequentist vs Bayesian Frequentist Bayesian
Objective / physical – controlled random experiments (e.g. radioactivity)
Subjective / evidential – degrees of belief supported by evidence (e.g. medical diagnosis)
Stable and identical distributions – law of large numbers applies
Dynamic and regime dependent distributions with little data – works before the law of large numbers applies
Unconditional “x%” – just care about outcomes
Conditional “x% depending on…” – outcomes dependent upon prior information of underlying factors
Controlled repeatable random experiments (e.g. dice) – data derived long run frequency is key
No controlled experiments; fixed and typically little data; probability inferred based upon prior assumptions
No information prior to model specification Prior information abounds and is valuable (previous studies, researcher intuition, subject matter experts, etc…). It is mostly about the priors

Discussion Questions
• Role risk plays in decision making at different corporate levels
• Useful risk collateral to support decisions
• Different modelling approaches for different risks?
• Different communication for different stakeholders
• Cognitive limitations and behavioural biases
• Framing risk information
• Communicating a holistic integrated perspective

Implementing Risk Management Through Culture

“Risk – let’s get this straight up front – is good. The point of risk management is not to eliminate it;
that would eliminate reward. The point is to manage it – that is, to choose where to place bets and where to
avoid betting altogether.”Fortune, 2000
“Despite significant advancements on many fronts, improvements to risk management, if they are to prove durable, require deep cultural transformation
and investment in management time, people and finances to successfully execute and institutionalise.”
Ernst & Young
“Culture counts. A sound risk culture is likely to lead to the right risk outcomes, while a weak risk culture may promote the wrong outcomes — for customers
and/or the financial institution itself.”“Guidance on Supervisory Interaction with Financial Institutions on Risk Culture (A Framework for
Assessing Risk Culture),” Financial Stability Board, April 2014.

Risk and UncertaintyRisk management is about Managing Risk ie making decisions

Culture Matters
Actuarial analysis and insight must be timely, relevant, well communicated and understandable in the context of the decision which needs to be made.
Promoting the utilisation of the right information, by the right people, at the right time in order to optimise strategic and capital critical decisions.

Managing Risk and Uncertainty is first and foremost an exercise in influencing human behaviour
Policies, frameworks, governances, reporting, quantitative measures are only effective if they are impacting decision making
It is the role of the risk practitioner (eg Actuary) to make their contribution timely, relevant, well communicated and understandable in the context of the decision which needs to be made
It is not the role of the decision-maker to necessarily be a risk professional or an actuary (“educating is not an alternative to communicating”)

In summary …Does your contribution to risk management impact behaviour?
