With the introduction of new accounting frameworks, the corresponding alignment of planning and performance management and with the increasing need for sophisticated asset liability management, the stochastic assessment of risk and value in connection with participating life insurance portfolios has become the industry standard over the last decade. The underlying basis for such an assessment is a cash flow projection model, simulating the way the life insurance undertaking is working and reflecting it by projecting local GAAP balance sheets and income statements. Due to the complexity associated with such calculations, simplifications are required especially regarding the modelling of the insurance contracts to meet operational and technical constraints. Therefore, it has become an area of actuarial research to develop methodologies that allow stochastic cash flow models to achieve results of adequate accuracy based on acceptable run times with affordable IT capabilities.
