Dr Albert Einstein had a famous quote: “In theory, theory, and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” Since 1900, science has tried discovering insights about (institutional) investing. This course discusses learning points and trends of well-known methods such as asset liability management. The approach is based on experience to indicate where theory […]

The calculation of life insurance products is traditionally based on the approach of commutation values, whose table properties enable extensive actuarial calculations even without large computer capacities. However, especially for modern and more flexible life insurance tariffs, the calculation by means of commutation values reaches its limits, so that the calculation approach based on Markov […]

Mortality curves are a critical ingredient for the valuation of any longevity-related product (for example, pensions, life insurance, reverse mortgages). Typically, several statistical agencies provide mortality curves differentiated on gender per country. However, it has been documented that people’s mortality prospects differ beyond their differences in gender. Income, education, job type, etc might all have […]
