Summary

A handy forecasting method for calculating loss reserves in case of correlated claims developments is given. It is in some sense a further-development of the classical chain ladder method to the context of correlated claims developments.

Zusammenfassung

Eine handliche Vorhersagemethode zur Berechnung von Schadenreserven im Falle von korrellierten Schadenabwicklungen wird gegeben. Sie ist in gewissem Sinne eine Weiterentwicklung der klassischen Claims-Ladder-Methode auf den Kontext von korrellierten Schadenentwicklungen.
