Description: 2021 ImpACT Conference -Insurance ALM Survey - Early Results and Best Practices Recording

Description: Find out how actuaries can use the principles of microservices, which are fundamentally important for improving outcomes for actuarial modernization initiatives. This presentation is NOT worried about Mmcroservices technology itself, but, microservices have properties that actuaries can mimic and replicate to make business processes be more efficient, more timely, and easier to maintain and govern. Focus on how you can incorporate software engineering concepts into help solving actuarial problems without concerning yourself with software engineering technology.

Description: Life and annuity markets around the world have seen increasingly complex investment-combined products, including universal life, fixed indexed annuities, variable annuities with a wide variety of guaranteed benefits, indexed variable annuities, etc. Insurance companies are facing unprecedented exposure to financial risks in addition to traditional mortality and longevity risks. The risk assessment and modeling for such complex designs by conventional methods often focus heavily on their market competitiveness and profitability. However, there seems to be a lack of quantifiable and systematic approach to assess investment risks associated with investment combined products. The objective of the proposed work is to develop a framework for quantifying and analyzing various forms of contractual designs and showcase different techniques to assess the trade-off between competitive contractual designs and their practical implications with regard to the difficulty of risk management.

Description: 1997 Valuation Actuary Symposium, Session 21 looks at advanced topics in annuity modeling.

Description: Come discuss modeling costs and its governance, as well as introduce some platforms for more granular asset modeling.

Description: The objective of this paper from the Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1964, Vol. 16, Pt. 1, No. 44 AB, is to illustrate some of the alternative approaches to making approximate probability statements about the present value of life annuities assuming a specified distribution of the random variable, time until death, and a fixed interest rate.

Description: Historically different approaches have been used by actuaries in modeling mortality improvement. The SOA has recently released a framework that practitioners can use to project mortality improvement, providing methodological consistency across a range of applications.

Description: Come discuss modeling costs and its governance, as well as introduce some platforms for more granular asset modeling.
