Description: The Product Development Section Council and the Committee on Life Insurance Research of the SOA engaged RGA Reinsurance Company to undertake a research project on level premium term life insurance products with a particular focus on the magnitude and impact of the 'shock lapse' at the end of the level premium period. Mortality was also studied. These are the Excel Pivot Tables for that study. Please see the SOA website experience studies for the full report.

Description: This research will provide detailed insights into the risk factors that drive private pension plan mortality experience. The private pension plan mortality experience collected for this research will be aggregated, de-identified, and made available for further analysis. In addition, mortality tables based on this private pension plan experience will be developed for use in the valuation and risk management of private pension plans.

Description: In this article, we introduce a novel machine learning-based model that analyzes and predicts policyholder behaviors at the individual policy level. Policyholder embedding representations are learned using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that takes into account the sequence of historical transactions associated with a policy. Additionally, a Neural Network with a multi-head architecture is trained to predict the policyholder's next action based on the policyholder embedding and other policy attributes. The resulting model offers several advantages over traditional experience studies and assumption-setting methods, including the ability to set policy-level assumptions that improve reserve accuracy, predict multiple behaviors simultaneously while capturing the interrelationships between them, and generate policyholder embedding representations that are useful for segmentation.

Description: The SOA has been continuing to highlight the importance of societal purpose across the global actuarial profession, and as a way to attract and retain the next generation of amazing exam candidates and young members. This session will highlight the variety of activities that the SOA and actuaries of all ages are involved in to further drive the profession's societal purpose.
