Description: Evaluation of the excess mortality element of the Group Conversion charge. Followed by several discussion papers submitted

Description: The purpose of this paper is to set forth a mathematical technique which in the author's experience has proved useful in testing the tax implications of various management actions.

Description: This paper is from the Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1956 Volume 8, Number 20. It was presented at the 1956 Spring Meetings of the Society of Actuaries for discussion. The author presents an outline of how difficulties in the determination of a frequency distribution of the expected costs may be overcome by, in part, applying the concept of using a series of random numbers with a view of making mortality studies for each life in a group of annuitants. The paper also presents the results of some experiments which were designed to discover whether or not the concept could be conducted on an IBM 650 electronic data processing machine.

Description: This discussion at an SOA 1968 Regional Meeting is about corporate planning and the actuary's role in the process.

Includes supporting mathematical proofs of approach. Followed by discussions submitted by several people

Description: This discussion at the SOA 1968 Philadelphia and Los Angeles Regional Meetings is about corporate planning and the actuary's role in the process.

Description: This paper is concerned with the determination of credibility factors applicable to the estimation of the true claim level of a particular risk, based on both the actual observed claim experience of that risk and the expected claim level that would be predicted for the risk according to its exposure characteristics. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1969, Vol. 21, Pt. 1, No. 59 AB.

Description: This paper investigates how the concepts of asset-liability matching can be used to shape investment strategy. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1980, Vol. 32.
