Description: April 13, 2021 Presentation at 2021 Life Insurance Conference

Description: The Society of Actuaries (SOA) has partnered with LIMRA and the American Council of Life Insurance (ACLI) to conduct a series of ‘sprint’ surveys on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its potential impacts on the U.S. life insurance industry. This report contains a summary of the results of the second survey on best practices in monitoring and modeling the potential impact of COVID-19 mortality on life insurance industry claims.

Description: This report summarizes the results of a 2022 survey examining mortality improvement practices of life and annuity companies in the U.S. and Canada.

Description: The SOA has collaborated with LIMRA, Reinsurance Group of America (RGA), and TAI on an ongoing effort to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the individual life insurance industry’s mortality experience. The data collected for this study included 2.8 million deaths from life insurance policies covering the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2020.

Description: This is a report on the results of a survey, conducted during July and August 2008, on the current practices and reactions related to life settlements. A life settlement is a financial transaction in which a policy owner possessing an unneeded or unwanted life insurance policy, sells the policy to a third party for more than the cash value offered by the life insurance company at the time of sale.

Description: This report summarizes industry mortality experience for the period 2009 - 2016. This report is updated on a mostly annual basis and based on information aggregated from industry VM-51 submissions

Description: This study and report have the following primary purposes: 1. Evaluate recent mortality experience relative to standard industry mortality tables, at a broad level. 2. Observe general trends in mortality experience by key policy characteristics. Where possible, provide insights into the industry changes contributing to the observed trends. 3. Provide the underlying data in spreadsheet pivot table format for further investigation by qualified actuaries. Provide data also in a delimited text file and Tableau dashboards for use with other software tools.

Description: The Individual Life Experience Committee has completed their latest report on intercompany mortality experience by amount of insurance under standard individually underwritten issues. This includes study years 2009-2015.

Description: The Committee on Life Insurance Mortality and Underwriting Surveys of the Society of Actuaries Research Institute sent companies a survey in May of 2019 on mortality improvement practices. Note this survey was completed prior to the onset of COVID-19, so that issue was not addressed in this survey. The purpose of the Survey was to examine mortality improvement practices with respect to life insurance and annuity pricing and financial projections in both the U.S. and Canada.
