Description: The Individual Life Experience Committee has numerous research projects underway. Take a look at three current areas of research: the analysis of the interaction of lapse and mortality experience using data from mandatory submissions; a deep dive into old age mortality; and an update on the committee's work to establish a predictive analytics framework that will be open for all actuaries and data scientists to use. By attending the session, you will: - Better understand the research conducted by the Individual Life Experience Committee. - Better understand the link between lapse and mortality experience, appreciate some of the nuances of older age mortality, and gain knowledge about a predictive analytics framework that will be released in the future.

Description: The presenters will cover the latest research undertaken by the Individual Life Experience Committee (ILEC). With several years of very robust individual life insurance experience data accumulated through the mandatory Statistical Agent data calls, this vast amount of data allows for various deeper dives into specific segments of business, such as large face amount, older age or juvenile. Speakers will cover studies the committee is currently involved in, future planned efforts, and results from a variety of sub-segments of business. Attendees will learn about emerging statistical techniques in scrubbing data, more refined quintile-grouped data segments, and interesting ways of conceptualizing how A/E results have changed from year to year. There will be something for everyone!

Description: "COVID-19 and excess mortality: an actuarial study – Camille Delbrouck, Aon Benfield, Belgium, Jennifer Alonso-García, Department of Mathematics, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR), UNSW Sydney, Australia Netspar, The Netherlands How did COVID-19 change the dependence structure across major causes of death – Han Li, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Centre for Actuarial Studies | Faculty of Business and Economics, The University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"

Description: Navigate a perspective on the process of developing estimates and projections of mortality rates, based on a Living to 100 paper by the teacher. Discover the approach and considerations an actuary (or others) can take to develop a mortality rate assumption for five time periods. It will describe techniques to estimate historical mortality rates from which to project future mortality rates.

Description: Getting people to think beyond retirement about future care needs and how they will be paid for is critical for a healthy aging plan. However, most people avoid the topic and make rushed decisions when finding long-term care services. Hear from experts in this advisory field explain what a successful plan looks like and what it takes to get people to plan ahead.

Description: Deaths due to non-medical causes such as drug overdoses, alcohol-related deaths, homicides, suicides and accidents are the leading cause of death for those under the age of 50 in the U.S. and is the fourth leading cause of death (after cardiovascular, cancer and COVID-19) for all ages combined in 2021. Take a deep dive with us into the mortality trends for non-medical causes of death and the impact these deaths have on different types of life insurance, including simplified issued, fully underwritten and group.

Description: In this wide-ranging session, expect updates on the work of the Individual Life Experience Committee and delve into some interesting recent research. You'll gain an update on recent findings from the Individual Life Experience Committee regarding individual life mortality experience.

Description: Focus on Accelerated Underwriting (AUW) in the life insurance industry, which is an expedited underwriting process that utilizes predictive models. Expect to address the challenges in designing the process, from modelling to performance monitoring. Additionally, you'll address risk management, particularly in mortality and proxy discrimination andhighlight the role an actuary can play in the AUW process, as well aswhat they should know to contribute effectively.

Description: Discuss population mortality improvement trends in the U.S. This will include analysis of cause of death data and trends in mortality pre-pandemic and during the pandemic. We will also discuss ways to think about translating population mortality improvement to an insured population.Learning outcomes includea better understanding of the drivers of recent mortality improvement and insights on how to create a company view on mortality improvement.
