Description: Living benefits (GLWBs) in fixed index annuity products are typically accounted for under SOP03-1 under current GAAP guidance. LDTI requires companies to classify these riders as Market Risk Benefit (MRB). This webcast focuses on challenges and considerations of the MRB implementation. Industry practices of the reserving approach will be shared during this webcast, as well as hedging and pricing implications.

Description: Long Duration Targeting Improvement's (LDTI's) roll-forward disclosure requirements include line items for the impact of actual variances from expected experience (A/E) for both net premiums and benefits. These aggregate A/E amounts provide some insight into how actual experience is emerging relative to expectations, but they do not provide insight into either the drivers of the deviations or their significance.

Description: Most insurers operate in a multi-GAAP world: Many U.S. insurers are regulated on a statutory/risk-basec capital (RBC) basis, report to markets under U.S. GAAP, pay taxes on a tax basis of accounting, and manage their business internally on an economic or other basis. In addition, many have overseas entities exposed to even more reporting bases. Reporting requirements are ever increasing and convergence of frameworks is not a reality in most parts of the world.Learn about a multi-GAAP framework to gain a bottom-up understanding of the differences in reserves and other balance sheet and income statement line items across reporting bases, both now and for future projections/plans. Using such an approach enhances insight into the valuation of the business, removes inconsistencies and results in operational efficiencies in the valuation process. At the conclusion of the session, you will learn technical concepts behind the Multi-GAAP framework and some practical ways to design and implement it.

Description: It is time to'go live with ASU 2018-12, otherwise known as long-duration targeted improvements (LDTI). For companies that have single premium limited payment contracts, additional work will be necessary under LDTI if the contracts are currently utilizing a break-even discount rate to defer the excess of the gross premium over the net premium, i.e. the deferred profit liability. This is mainly driven by requirements under LDTI to update for actual experience and review assumptions at least on an annual basis. This session is designed to cover LDTI implications specific to carriers of single premium limited payment contracts, including changes to how deferred profit liabilities are calculated going forward under LDTI and their impact to financial statements. By attending the session, you will: - Identify the LDTI implementation issues impacting their immediate annuity business. - Determine how balances will be established at transition. - Describe the explicit DPL calculations required going forward under LDTI, and their impact to financial statements.

Come explore approached to sensitivity tests and effective evaluations of sensitivity test results in order to elevate your knowledge within the actuarial science field.

Description: Explore LDTI impact to life pricing profit metrics and discuss considerations in life product development to be ready for LDTI. By attending the session, you will: Be able to better understand LDTI impacts to life product pricing and be prepared for the LDTI implementation.

Description: Forward looking insurers are reimagining their businesses with key strategic aims around how they engage with their customers and how they make and implement decisions.

Description: Statutory and GAAP metrics are useful for regulators, investors, and other external parties who require a consistent basis for viewing snapshots of companies at a point in time, however, their uses are more limited for managers who are tasked with making strategic decisions. Many insurers are turning to internally developed metrics such as value of new business (VNB) for better profitability insights at the point of sale and to understand how new business profitability changes over time. By leveraging existing models and reporting processes, insurers can reduce the additional effort involved, applying VNB toward applications such as pricing, capital allocation, and risk management. Discuss key considerations for developing and using VNB. Begin with a brief overview of VNB, including how VNB addresses specific shortcomings of Stat and GAAP. Next, discuss applications of VNB for life and annuity business and conclude with some implementation case studies.
