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 […]

The purpose of the online training is to open the mind for problems which are by nature not actuarial but are very much linked to typical actuarial questions.

The 1.5 day web session serves a double purpose. On the one hand, it is a bridging course designed to prepare actuaries with a more qualitative background for the quantitative parts of the CERA education. On the other hand, it is an independent refresher course for actuaries wanting to brush up their quantitative skills in […]

Advances in data analytics techniques, along with greater availability of data, have significantly impacted many industries. However, in insurance, these advances merely add to the technical foundations upon which the industry was built. It is only recently that modern data analytics techniques have begun to impact insurance companies, especially in the work actuaries do. The […]

Over the last five years many countries have seen substantial swings in inflation. This volatility, following an extended period of relative stability, has reminded actuaries that unexpected changes in inflation rates can have big implications for organisations that they work for. Insurers and pension funds wanting to manage inflation risks will typically find it beneficial […]

This session aims at explaining the evolution of the interest rate capital requirement under the current formula versus the new formula following the SII review, how the deficiencies have been addressed and the remaining issues in an inflationary environment. The purpose is to explain how the current SCR interest has been calibrated based on Principal […]
