Understanding VM-20 Results
August 2017
The Society of Actuaries’ Financial Reporting Section, Product Development Section, Smaller Insurance Company Section and the Committee on Life Insurance Research announce the release of a new study examining options for analyzing these periodic changes in VM-20 reserve amounts. Performed by a Milliman team, the research surveys the sources of reserve movement and volatility, surveys other reporting regimes for potential attribution approaches, conducts interviews with financial reporting actuaries regarding their use of attribution methods and provides a demonstration of a proposed attribution approach for a case study for VM-20 valuations.
