Due to technological progress in connection with Data Science and Digitalization, summarized under the buzzword Big Data, a plethora of opportunities and challenges for the industry is arising. Technological developments have now also reached the insurance industry and thus have a direct impact on the working world of actuaries. Under the heading Actuarial Data Science, […]
The present training is concerned with the question of economic capital in corporate management. Key aspects are: economic valuation and performance actuarial-academy.com economic steering key performance indicators value based management A simplified case study for a life insurer shows in a nutshell the central aspects of corporate management in practice. The course consists of lectures […]
After an initial general introduction to reinsurance, we will look at the specific risks in life (re)insurance and appropriate reinsurance solutions. In this context we will also analyse specific terms commonly used in non-life insurance, such as loss frequency and loss amount. Concrete examples will be used to illustrate the differences between life and non-life […]
This session aims to explain 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.

As Insurance is being impacted by new and disruptive technology, how will actuarial reserving techniques be impacted? Whilst triangle methods have traditionally been seen as the key methods in the reserving area, this may be challenged in the future by more complex expectations, improving technology, modelling capabilities, etc. Reserving practices are expected to keep changing, […]
The web session aims to: • Demystify the role of ALM models in insurance valuation and financial management. • Explain how these models are built, from accounting foundations to simulation and projection frameworks. • Highlight key challenges and best practices in implementing and maintaining an ALM platform. • Showcase the transformation of ALM through technology, […]
The web session discusses the requirements of IFRS 17 for aggregating insurance contracts in “portfolios of insurance contracts” and “groups of insurance contracts,” as well as their areas of application. It discusses the conceptual and practical obstacles arising for each area. Special consideration is given to reinsurance contracts and commercial contracts, as well as to […]
The web session aims to equip actuarial professionals with the knowledge and skills behind the PyTorch framework, from fundamental concepts on how to apply this tool to practical actuarial problems and risk assessment. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to exploit and interact with PyTorch to develop deep learning models in […]
In this seminar, we will cover: 1. Python Basics: An introduction to Python programming, focusing on data structures and fundamental syntax. 2. Data Manipulation: Working with datasets using Pandas for data cleaning and transformation. 3. Data Visualization: Creating insightful charts and graphs using Matplotlib and Seaborn. 4. Machine Learning: Applying basic machine learning models to […]
This web session is the third part of a four-part series at the German Actuarial Association (DAV). In this online training, we will expand on and deepen some of the topics already known from the basic and advanced trainings, discussing further important techniques in the context of deep learning and providing further theoretical foundations. It […]
This session aims at analysing the impact of IFRS 17 versus Solvency II. After a general description of both frameworks, we highlight the most recent changes following the Solvency II review with a focus on discount rates and risk margin. We will then explain IFRS 17 accounting choices versus Solvency II and benchmark those. Finally, […]
In this web session, we will look into the drivers of inflation and risk in order to create a set of scenarios which are meaningful for steering the insurance business. Both life insurance and general scenarios will be discussed. The agenda is planned as follows: 1. Overview of inflation drivers and influence 2. Overview of […]
