Description: The results of the 2016 Group Term Life Experience Study, which includes experience for policies in force anytime during 2010 through 2013.

Description: This mortality study is based on results of calendar year 1994 from 17 companies. Experience for issues ages over 70 is reported with differentiation by sex, issue age, policy year, amount, smoking status, underwriting status, reinsurance status, plan of insurance, and level of retention.

Description: U.S. population mortality rates by gender and single year of age for calendar years 2000-2014. To develop these rates, the SOA relied upon data furnished by the Centers for disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the Social Security Administration.

Description: This panel discussion is from the 1991 Meeting of the Society of Actuaries, held May 16-17 in New York. The panelists review mortality experience studies and research and underwriting practices, discussing topics including smoker vs. non-smoker mortality, differences by sex, and medical impairments. Discussion from participants is included. From the Record of Society of Actuaries, Volume 17, No. 2.

Description: Experience study covering over 80 continuing care retirement communities, CCRCs, in California including 17 life care communities, offering retirees residential living and services of health care and personal care. Life expectancy experience of residents of CCRCs is developed in support of the California statutory reserve requirements for CCRCs.

Description: This mortality study is based on results of calendar year 1994 from 17 companies. Experience for amount of $1 million are more is reported with differentiation by sex, issue age, policy year, amount, smoking status, underwriting status, reinsurance status, plan of insurance, and level of retention.

Description: This mortality study is based on results of calendar year 1995 from 17 companies. Experience for amount of $1 million are more is reported with differentiation by sex, issue age, policy year, amount, smoking status, underwriting status, reinsurance status, plan of insurance, and level of retention.

Description: The presenters will explore the current state of the North American mortality baseline and long-term improvement assumptions and determine what we can learn from the UK's approach. They will share research done by the Society of Actuaries and other organizations to describe how to build a better model, plus show the impact socio-economics and other factors have on longevity expectations. The presenters will offer suggestions for how U.S. and Canadian pension plan and insurance actuaries--and the industry itself--can best use this research to develop a better model for the risk management of pension plans and group annuities

Description: This paper is from Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1955 Volume 7, Number 17. The author notes that in mortality studies the ‘natural’ unit for exposures and deaths is number of lives, but often more insight is gained by use of other weights, such as face amount. In this paper, the author develops a method which, ‘by a combination of exposed to risk formulas, provides a comparatively simple procedure to permit consideration of weights which vary during the observation period.’

Description: This paper is from Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1955 Volume 7, Number 17. The author notes that recent advances in calculating equipment make possible producing graduations much more elaborate than any done previously. The paper confines itself to the problem of graduating a single column of rates, such as an ultimate column, using a Whittaker-Henderson B graduation of the fourth order. The author provides a detailed description of the process with significant mathematical theory.
