Description: The Mortality Improvement Model, MIM-2021- V3. Different mortality projection methodologies are utilized by actuaries across applications and practice areas. As a result, the MIM Advisory Group (“Advisory Group”) developed a single framework to serve as a consistent base for practitioners in projecting mortality improvement.

Description: Join a dynamic panel of accelerated underwriting (AU) experts as they discuss results from three recent AU industry surveys, including from the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and two reinsurance studies. They'll share similarities and examine differences in their findings as they cover historical trends, current practices and their outlooks on the future of this evolving underwriting paradigm. By the conclusion of the session, you will have gained knowledge on the data and trends available from these surveys, as well as understand what AU program modifications are needed to keep pace with the industry.

Description: The most recent U.S. population data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and from the U.S. Census at year-end 2021 includes the first ten months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. While we know the pandemic has had significant impacts on both the U.S. population and insured population mortality, we also see increased mortality due to many other non-COVID causes of death. Where are the biggest changes and what does this non-COVID excess mortality mean over the next few years? Take part as an expert panel hosts an interactive discussion to examine data from general population as well as from both individual life and group life experience studies to explore how these changes might spur innovation in underwriting, assumption setting and pricing.

Description: The presenters will dig into the little rider that most actuaries don't spend much time thinking about. A regulator, a direct writer and a consultant will discuss their thoughts on this rider and point out areas where actuaries should focus before deeming it insignificant. Topics will include the current study underway to update the industry experience study (most recently done in 1952), underwriting considerations, interactions with other riders, benefit designs, unique issues on UL policies, tax implications and reserving considerations

Description: Actuarial transformation initiatives often require significant investment in time and resources. However, not all initiatives deliver the desired results. Complex integrations of new data and technology pose a significant challenge for business and technology teams to deliver on time and on budget. This challenge can be overcome if addressed thoughtfully with emerging technology and business-friendly tools which offer benefits to both actuarial business users and technology professionals. In recent years, low-code technology has emerged which empowers actuaries by providing capabilities for data analytics, self-service, and visualization without requiring extensive technical prowess. Pairing these tools with emerging cloud-based data management solutions allows actuaries to quickly manage and analyze large data sets along with enhanced governance and integration. By adopting these technologies, actuaries are empowered to deliver better outcomes for their organizations Come explore a panel of actuarial business and technology experts who will share their insights and experiences on how low-code technology solutions can empower actuaries with better access to data and analytics. The panelists will discuss real-world case studies to demonstrate the practical benefits of these tools and how they can be used to achieve better business outcomes.

Description: Come prepared for an engaging workshop where you will have the opportunity to share thoughts on and work through a variety of questions concerning how actuaries must adapt to account for newer underwriting and distribution practices. Seating will be limited for this workshop focused on life actuaries who price and set assumptions for products impacted by new underwriting tools and processes such as accelerated underwriting (AU) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) distribution.

Description: The presenters will cover the latest research undertaken by the Individual Life Experience Committee (ILEC). With several years of very robust individual life insurance experience data accumulated through the mandatory Statistical Agent data calls, this vast amount of data allows for various deeper dives into specific segments of business, such as large face amount, older age or juvenile. Speakers will cover studies the committee is currently involved in, future planned efforts, and results from a variety of sub-segments of business. Attendees will learn about emerging statistical techniques in scrubbing data, more refined quintile-grouped data segments, and interesting ways of conceptualizing how A/E results have changed from year to year. There will be something for everyone!
