Description: The insurance reserve for an individual contract can be pictured as a quantity which changes continuously from moment to moment in response to the forces of interest and mortality. A different mathematical model arises for each method of defining the death benefit, and in this paper a number of such mathematical models are analyzed. Followed by discussion papers submitted by several authors

Followed by a discussion paper submitted

Description: This is a discussion of the paper, 'The Effect of Varying Interest Rates' by Charles H. Connelly, involving the use of two interest rates, varying by duration, for valuation.

Description: This discussion looks at various topics associated with the 1958 CSO Tables and answers the following: What is the effect of these tables on premium rates, non-forfeiture benefits, reserves and other policy values? Are there any advantages to be gained by anticipating the deadline date January 1, 1966 for adoption of the new tables?

Description: The effect on level premium reserves of a change in the interest or mortality basis can often be predicted by the results obtained in Spurgeon's Life Contingencies, Chap. X, pp. 185-190. This note offers formulas to demonstrate the effect of such changes.

Description: General discussion session which included the following topics: A. Non-medical limits B. Deficiency reserves for individual life insurance
