    Hi All,

    My understanding of Model Point is - a sample policy that represents a particular product group.

    Can anyone please confirm if my understanding is correct? If not, what is the correct definition?

    Thanks,
    Yash

    Hi Yash

    Yes, this is what a model point is. I would go one stage further though and say that the model point will represent a particular group of policyholders as well as a particular product.

    So we might have a model point for 25 year endowment assurances with a monthly premium of 100 sold to 30 year old female non-smokers. This model point might be used to represent all female non-smoker policyholders with premiums between 50 and 150 and aged between 25 and 35.

    We'd then have other model points for other ages and premium sizes. There would be a similar set of model points for female smokers, and then a similar set for males.

    Best wishes

    Mark
