Description: Actuarial modeling has gone through several distinct phases largely defined by the underlying technology platform. Today, cloud computing is again redefining the technology foundations of actuarial modeling and related processes.

Description: This is the Presidential Address by former SOA President, Daphne D. Bartlett focusing on her vision for the future of the actuarial profession. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1991, Vol. 43.

Description: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released the final 2020 Actuarial Value Calculator and Actuarial Value Calculator Methodology

Description: In this report, we will try to provide an in-depth review of current Machine Learning and Deep Learning models and will explain how those models works and their possible applications in the actuarial field. The recent studies and successes from the industry will also be discussed. We intend to bring more actuaries onboard about those technologies and start to think about how to bring them into our daily work.

Description: ALM #2 Survey Questions

Description: This paper is a summary of the 16th International Congress of Actuaries held in Brussels on June 15, 1960. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1960, Vol. 12, No. 34.

Description: This report highlights three major weather stories that unfolded across the month of June: • A heat wave gripped much of Europe in the last week of June • An extreme wind event known as a “derecho” swept across a 1000-mile path in the United States (U.S.) on June 21, beginning in Nebraska and culminating in South Carolina • Widespread flooding continues throughout the Central U.S, with a significant impact on farming

Description: These contextualized insights were gathered during the InsurTech Insights USA Conference, held on June 7-8, 2023, in New York with numerous SOA members attending.

Description: The COVID-19 pandemic infection has greatly affected the economy, resulting in volatile market conditions. Because market conditions greatly impact the value of insurance company’s assets and liabilities, the fourth survey in this series focused on best practices around asset and liability management (ALM). The survey was directed at actuaries, investment managers and risk managers directly involved in assessing the impact of recent events on ALM. Responses to the survey were collected between April 22-28, 2020. Thirty-two companies responded to the survey.

Description: The Society of Actuaries Research Institute commissioned this study to highlight the leading emerging technologies that may significantly affect the actuarial profession over a three-year horizon. This study will act as a guide and a resource for actuaries or potential employers to identify the prospective tools to enhance or expand actuarial work, for people collaborating with actuaries who may be affected by these technologies, and for leaders looking to enable teams employing actuaries through the introduction of these tools. It’s noted that actuaries should embrace technologies that enhance the remote working experience within their internal teams and across departments by investigating functionalities beyond messaging and video calls. Actuarial organizations and employers should examine technologies where there is a wide range or gap in maturity and familiarity and evaluate whether a knowledge gap exists and whether any gap is due to lack of education and training.
