Small Talk, December 2022
Just a quick update on some recent topics. If you aren’t regularly checking out the SOA Research Institute page, you are missing a lot.
There are two recent additions to the site highlighted here:
- U.S. Individual Life COVID-19 Mortality Experience Study – Fourth Quarter 2021 Update There are prior versions of this report, but this captures mortality results through for fourth quarter 2021.
- 2021 Retirement Risk Survey Brief – Identifying Retirement Risks and Trends A survey that captures concerns that pre-retirees and retirees have regarding retirement.
A more complete listing of highlights of new papers and reports from the SOA Research Institute can be found on the recently published research page on SOA.org.
If you’re interested in current requests for proposals, there are a few new additions to that as well. RFPs are time sensitive, so if interested, make sure to check out the deadlines for submissions.
