Abstract
► Consistency of the distribution-free chain ladder method is examined. ► Unbiasedness of the development factors can be of less importance than consistency. ► A necessary and sufficient condition for the conditional consistency is derived. ► Mean square error of the development factors' estimates is calculated. ► Real data example and numerical simulations are shown.
