Description: This report presents mortality under individual immediate annuities, life income settlements, and matured deferred annuities between the 1971 and 1976 anniversaries.

Description: This session will present results of the most recent SOA/LIMRA studies of variable and fixed-indexed annuity policyholder behavior including withdrawal behavior, guaranteed living benefit elections and surrender activity. Conducted annually since 2006, a discussion on the results of these studies show how they have changed over time, as well as areas where the analysis will need to change or expand. After that, the presenters will focus on dynamic lapse for hot money businesses, which is an important topic for fixed deferred annuity. Key takeaways from this area will include an understanding how to differentiate between hot money and warm money, the different formulas used in the industry, and how to adjust an asset portfolio to protect against the risks associated with hot money businesses.

Description: Amid macroeconomic uncertainty, proactive lapse management is becoming a growing strategic focus for Life and Annuity carriers. Interest rates have been increasing rapidly during the last eighteen months and insurers, especially annuity writers, have started to see higher lapses and withdrawals. After a prolonged low interest period, many insurers will have to (re)build capabilities to enable proactive lapse management.

Description: The SOA has conducted a mortality study covering deferred annuities, both fixed and variable. This is a brand new area of analysis for the SOA's Individual Annuity Experience Committee and should be of critical interest to the industry. Previous industry annuitant mortality studies have focused on payout annuities, as well as the specialized structured settlement annuity market. Traditionally, mortality had not been seen as a critical assumption for deferred annuities. As the products have evolved over time, especially with the popularity of enhanced death benefits for variable annuities and guaranteed living benefits for both variable and fixed annuities, mortality has taken on increased importance. The results of this study have recently taken on even greater significance, as regulators are seeking mortality assumptions for the standard projection scenario for VM-22 (fixed annuities), as well as a potential update to those assumptions in VM-21 (variable annuities). By attending the session, you will: - Understand how deferred annuitant mortality compares with established annuitant mortality tables. Note that annuitant mortality tables, including the most recent 2012 tables, were developed based on payout annuitant mortality experience. - Become aware of the differences in mortality experience between fixed and variable annuities. - Gain insights into the effect of various guaranteed benefits on anti-selection and subsequent annuitant mortality, both for death benefits and living benefits. - Understand the durational aspects of emerging mortality experience, particularly for deferred annuities with guaranteed benefits.
