Why for PML 500 did we chose the 99.8 percentile?

Comments

    • A 0.998 percentile means there's a 0.2% chance that the loss will exceed that value.
    • A 1-in-500 PML means you're looking for the loss level that is only exceeded once every 500 years (or 1 out of 500 events).

    1− (1/Return Period) = 0.998
