Description: The COVID-19 pandemic, record low interest rates and an active market for legacy life insurance blocks has led many insurers to reconsider the spectrum of inforce management options in their toolkit. Further, the pace of execution on inforce management changes is unprecedented as insurers hope to complete substantial changes in advance of upcoming changes to the measurement of insurance liabilities (e.g., US GAAP LDTI, IFRS 17). Hear from industry experts, as they share their perspectives on recent trends in inforce management for individual life insurance. Potential topics include: usage of offshore reinsurance, management of non-guaranteed elements, Mergers and acquisitions, and retention programs (e.g., policy exchange, post-level-term optimiziation).

Focus on confusion matrices that provide an early indication of mortality slippage relative to fluid-based underwriting decisions. Finally, explore statistical methods to determine what constitutes credibility and identify opportunities to think about mortality slippage more robustly.
