Description: Proposes setting premiums such that inflation and age could change the premium over time, rather than prefunding. The value may be to change the approach to pricing LTC and improve the risk.

Description: In calculations involving the distribution of total claims in a risk theory setting, several authors have found it desirable to approximate a risk-theoretic distribution by use of the incomplete gamma function. A recent paper evaluated an excess loss ratio premium by use of a gamma distribution whose first and second moments agreed with those of the risk-theoretic loss distribution. A discussion of that paper pointed out that a translated gamma distribution allowed one to make the approximate distribution agree with the risk-theoretic distribution as far as the first three moments are concerned. The method presented in this paper allows one to make as many moments of the approximate distribution as desired agree with those of the risk-theoretic loss distribution.

Description: It is the purpose of this paper to outline the reasoning behind the Catastrophic Accident Hazard and some of the details of a reinsurance arrangement with Lloyds of London for managing this risk. Paper is followed by 2 discussion papers

Description: It is the purpose of this paper to present sample calculations which demonstrate one possible actuarial approach in making the required cost analysis and illustrative costs to reinsure life risks individually under present-day conditions.

Description: This presentation discusses a process for determining the minimum reinsurance retention level consistent with defined parameters. The conclusions reached were: 1. Under PDS dependence, optimal reinsurance strategy is multivariate stop loss form. 2. Explicit solutions could be derived in certain bivariate model. 3. Binding and unbinding constraints are equivalent. From Actuarial Research Clearing House, 2012, Vol. 1.

Description: The paper describes an approach for determining reserves for reinsurance accepted for use in financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles. Followed by a discussion paper submitted

Description: Discusses smaller company issues: retention limits policies, choosing type of company to reinsure with and basis for reinsurance, use of catastrophe and stop-loss coverages, and simplified reinsurance administrative methods.

Description: This report presents the results of a survey conducted in August of 2008 on foreign travel underwriting practices of reinsurance companies.

Description: Paper discussing issues pertaining to setting and managing issue limits and reinsurance retention limits for life insurance.

Description: The attached report presents the results of the survey conducted by the SOA Committee on Life Insurance Mortality and Underwriting Surveys on risk management practices of US life insurance companies. Both direct individual and group life insurance and reinsurance were included in the survey.
