exclusion clause

Master’s Thesis Le Van Ha—FBA8
Through the table and figures above, we would find that the growth rate of the market
is stable, this speed according to the prosperity of the economic situation in Vietnam as well
as the global during past time Total premium - was around 32,038 billion Vietnamdong in
2015 and grew 17.18% in competition with 2014 and the biggest was PVI achieved 20.84%
market share, the second one is Baoviet with the share of 18.52%, the third was Baominh with
8.88% We can see the big gap between the second one and the third one
In 2016, total premium estimated 36,372 billion Vietnamdong thrived 14.04% Nothing changed in position, we can see the first still was PVI with market share of 18.69%,
it was slight decreased in competition with 2015 Baoviet took 17.41% market share and Baominh’s share was 8.34% Number forth was PTI 8.303% and PJICO caught 6.783%

Trang 23
There was a change in 2017, when Baoviet achieved the number one with its share of
19.5% and the premium income estimated 8,056 It seemed a mutation step while the others
reduced their market share event total premium income increased 12% and the premium of
whole markets achieved nearly 40,561 billion Vietnamdong Except the change in first and
second positions between Baoviet and PVI, the others remained as previous order Baominh
was the third (8.217%), then PTI (7.561%) and PJICO (6.201%)
In general, it recorded of growing premium income of the non-life insurance market,
but it all top 5 companies decreased their market share except Baoviet in 2017 This losing of
all most companies lasted from 2015 to 2017 and the same picture happened to PJICO
Figure 2.5 — PJICO’s Premium Income from 2015 to 2017 Umit: Billion Vietnamdong
(Source: PJICO’s annual reports 2015, 2016, 2017)
As reported in renewal report, PJICO recorded growth of revenue in recent 3 years, however its market share mitigated over the years The reason of the reducing market share
was that PJICO’s growth rate was lower than market's rate, PIICO’s growth rate was 3.8%
Evaluating the Development of Construction and Erection Insurance
Trang 24Master’s Thesis Le Van Ha—FBA8
while the market's growth rate around 13.59% (2017) In recent 5 years PJICO decided to
focus on benefit and choose the profitable product to write instead of increasing revenue
PJICO’s premium mostly came from motor vehicle including motor insurance and motorbike insurance As reported in annual report, we will see PJICO’s portfolio as below
41.38%

Trang 25
The above figures base on PJICO’s annual reports it means that these were financial figures, for construction / erection insurance, because these are long-term insurances and
period of cover may last 4 or 5 year depends on construction period hence the premium
collection may be device into many installments Consequently, the financial report may
include premium of the previous policies In order to have overview, beside the financial
figures we would consider to underwriting year figures, it means that in the mentioned year
how much premium will come

‘We can sce in recent 3 years, the loss ratio of health & accident insurance and vehicle
insurance allay over 50%
Via the table and figures, we would find that most losses came from vehicle and health
& accident insurance Kor engineering, the highest loss ratio was in 2016, however the result was acceplable at 15% of loss ratio, for other years it was under 30% and these are two of profitable products,

Although the premiums for these products are lower than to other products, but they
make profitable for PJICO With purpose of focusing on benefit, hence PJICO should have
long term strategy as well as short term to improve premium income of these product lines

CHAPTER Il FACTORS AFFECTING
TO CONSTRUCTION AND ERECTION INSURANCE
AT PJICO
3.1 The external factor
311 Legal Framework
Legal Framework and State’s Policy are very importance, they directly effect to all
activilics and all business operations
For Insurance market, in 1993 when the Decree 100CP was promulgated that effected
on 1/1/1994 it marked the opening of sctics of insuranec company in Vietnamese market like Bao Minh (1994), PICO (1995), PTI (1998) breaking Baoviet’s monopoly in non-life insurance in Vietnam, bringing many choices for the insured
26/12/2016 with effect from 1/3/2017 This Circular is compulsory for projects with valuz under 700 billion Vietnamdong and it applied as insurance wording for Construction All Risks, Erection All Risks, Workmen Compensation, Professional Indemnity for construction / exection consuiltaney in which premium rate and deductible are regulated as well as scope of
cover,
“Phe purpose of this Circular is improving insurance terms and conditions specially in premium vale and deductible, standardizing insurance market, avoiding competition by reducing premium and deductible When the Circular promulgated, it put the insurance companies in difficulty position because scope of cower that defined in the Circular is wider than current wording of all insurance companies, it also is wider than Munich Re / Swiss Red’s Wording Two Leaders in Construction / Erection All Risks Reinsurance in the international market The premium rate and deductible regulated in the Circular is higher than the markel al this time, however both the insured(s) and the insurer(s) do nol like to use this Cireular as wording because the insured has to pay more premiwm, they also bear the higher
Evaluating the Develupmcal of Construction and Erection Insurance
Trang 29
deductible if they choose Cireular 329/2016/TT-BTC and the insurer(s) faced with difficulty
in arrange reinswrance program
‘This Cirenlar is compulsory honce both the insurer and the insured have lo nso it as insurance wording, This is transition time and the Circular effected ftom the Ist of March,
2017 and not applied for the project approved before, so there were not many policy / project
covered under this Circular but it will rise in the future
In fact, some cases use Circular 329/2016/1T-BYC as insurance wording but not
applied regulated premium rate as deductible It is illegal, however penalty not regulated in the Circular, it is a void for both partics the insured and the insurer
‘As mentioned above, the scope of cover under Cirenlar is wider than Munich Re wording or recent market wording, all most insurers faccd with difficulty in arrange reinsurance program Some exclusion points in Munich Re wording did not regulate in the Circular likes defective materiat or casting, bad workmanship other than faults in erection, packing materials such as cases, boxes, crates; Hence some reinsurance treaty leaders did not agree to automatically cede these policies under their treaty In this case the insurer have to provids all related project’s information to rcinsuzor to gol Spoeial Agrcoment Tha difficulty is that at the time of opening bidding insurance allay before construction bidding and it allay is lack of information When you can get the Special Agreement ftom the treaties” Leader it may pass the bidding time If may be a disadvantage for insurance companies
The other side, as regulated in the Circular project with value over 700 billion
‘Vietnamdong can be applied terms and condition as quoted by Reinsurance Leader and or negotiated, Henec it is not much effect to these projects
Beside the Insurance Law these activities governed by Construction Law and Bidding
