Cash Flow Analysis

 

This type of analysis is important to a finance department if there is a trust or a captive insurance subsidiary involved in the risk management program.  The finance department wants to invest the reserves in as long a term vehicle as possible because interest rates usually are higher for longer term investments.  Again, the potential variability of the payout is important because one would prefer never to be forced to liquidate an asset prior to its expected maturity date due to the potential for an investment loss.  Therefore, portfolio matching to an upper bound of the projected payouts is the most advantageous way for the finance department to operate.  Some uses of this type of analysis are:

 

·       Payout analysis for portfolio timing

·       Present value analysis to determine the discounted amount of the projected loss reserves (GAAP accounting practices may permit discounting)
