Did poor methodology sink Tower Group?

Did poor methodology sink Tower Group?

Tower Group: a failure in progress since 2007

  • A new calendar year trend that emerged in 2006 was steadily eroding their financial position and
    culminated in the failure of Tower Group in 2013 when under-reserving was finally noticed.
  • What took experts and stakeholders so long to see the problem?
  • Statistical models which describe calendar year trends in the data clearly demonstrate
    Tower Group was sinking way back to 2009!
  • Commonly used methodologies do not measure calendar year trends.
  • Using the right modeling tools in 2007 could have saved Tower Group. By 2011 it was far too late.
