Description: Presented at October 1985 Annual Meeting. This session focused on three projects funded by the Actuarial Education and Research Fund: risk models, operations research applications for actuaries and probability modeling of losses.

Description: From a session at the Spring meeting of the Society of Actuaries held in San Antonio, Texas, June 14-15, 2004 A brief review of how the 1995-2000 individual life mortality experience study and 2002 individual life and annuity expense study were developed, followed by key observations, interpretations and emerging trends.

Description: This session presents results from the 4th SOA-sponsored long-term-care [LTC] intercompany experience study. From Record of the Society of Actuaries, Vol. 30, No. 3, Session 9

Description: As more term insurance policies move to the post-level period, actuaries are evaluating policyholder behavior and expected mortality. Enough experience has now emerged to provide a spectrum of outcomes that can model the relationship between premium increases, persistency and mortality. The presenters will share findings and consider how different post-level premium structures produce different results.

Description: This discussion at the SOA 1967 Annual Meeting covers mortality issues including trends in longevity, factors affecting future mortality rates, and projection methods.

Description: Discusses good sources of mortality data and possible distortions in the data.

Description: This is the digest from the informal discussion reviewing the 1951 Impairment study. It is the latest in a series of studies covering mortality of impaired risks. It covers the experience under Ordinary insurance issued from 1935 to 1949 traced to the anniversaries in 1950. Standard and substandard policies were studied separately.

Description: In September 2017, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) issued the “C-ROSS Phase II project construction plan”, planned to be used across three years’ time, by perfecting the regulations, improving the operational mechanism and strengthening the regulatory cooperation.

Description: While our ability to access and analyze large quantities of data is better than ever, many long-term products suffer from sparse data in critical risk areas, such as deep in-the-money lapse experience and long-term utilization rates for income guarantees. The presenters will explore industry-level annuity experience data for these types of situations, and discuss quantitative approaches to addressing them in pricing and other applications.

Description: This is a discussion of the paper, The Mortality of Industrial Policyholders 1950 to 1955 by Edward A. Lew and Mortimer Spiegelman. From Transactions of Society of Actauries 1957, Vol. 9, No. 24.
