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 […]

Insurers and pension funds wanting to manage inflation risks will typically find it beneficial […]

This web session provides an overview of three conceptually different approaches for stochastic life insurance projection models currently observable in the market.
