Description: Under long-duration targeted improvements (LDTI), there are a few insurance liability balances that now are required to be fair valued, market risk benefit (MRB). The session will start from all the applicable balances that are required to be fair valued under LDTI ((i.e., MRB, financial accounting statement (FAS) 133, value of business acquired (VOBA) upon business combination)). The session will use a case study to discuss some of the nuances and general considerations for an MRB, FAS 133 and VOBA balances for a business combination for an fixed indexed annuity (FIA) contract. The case study will discuss some MRB fair value considerations and followed by FAS 133 fair value techniques. It will go over VOBA fair value estimation by using actuarial appraisal method with a few twists (e.g., using market yield in generating distributable earnings is better than using book yield and adjusted to bring it to fair value later on).

Description: In this session, we will explore the opportunities and challenges of leveraging AI tools to support valuation actuaries in their work. We will begin by introducing the concept of large language models (LLMs), discussing their capabilities, limitations, and potential errors. We will then delve into case studies that demonstrate how LLMs can be effectively utilized to reference actuarial documents. The session will also address key considerations when developing AI tools to mitigate errors, enhance safety and security, and improve overall efficiency. The case studies will cover fine-tuning and information retrieval techniques such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Our goal is to provide attendees with a foundational understanding of the nature of LLMs and offer practical insights and ideas for actuaries to build their own processes and tools that ensure accountability, safety, and efficiency.
