The SOA has recently issued a decision guide on High Age Decisions. The brief identifies four domains for high age decisions: ·Health, health care and staying healthy ·Managing finances ·Housing and transportation ·Support networks The panel will include a discussion of communications and how we change, problems of physical, hearing, sight or cognitive decline and the challenges created and the four domains in the SOA Decision Brief.

Description: The SOA, with SCOR as the researcher, completed an experience study of post-level term (PLT) lapse and mortality. In the first part of this session, the presenters will cover the key findings of the traditional analysis regarding the shock lapse, the PLT lapse and mortality experience. The remainder of the session will focus on the results of the predictive modeling, which will provide further insights into policyholder behavior in the post-level term period.

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: This article provides encourages participation in and provides instructions for participation in the 2010 CLICE study. The objective of the 2010 study is to provide useful unit expense benchmark information to actuaries and their managements from which to assess their own unit expense performance, while expanding the level of contributions. In addition, CLICE expects the results to be useful in enhancing the generation of the Generally Recognized Expense Table GRET in the U.S. used by some companies to demonstrate compliance with the NAIC model sales illustration regulation.

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.
