The aging population presents serious challenges for traditional pay-as-you-go pension systems. Longer life expectancies increase pension expenses while low birth rates weaken the future contribution base. A buffer fund can help alleviate these problems. However, this raises questions about how much insured should contribute and how big the fund should be. Ideally, the contribution […]
The economic model of insurance is based on mutualization. Roughly speaking, this consists in considering that the good results of the majority of the insureds compensate for the losses linked to the claims of a minority. Mathematically, it is based on the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. But new risks, on […]

Needless to say, this “business as usual” can also bring its share of challenges and stress with time-consuming projects (e.g. IFRS 17), ad-hoc queries and analyses and back-to-back meetings. While actuaries are […]
This session aims at giving an overview of the initiatives taken by EIOPA on Sustainability. We will then focus on ORSA explaining best practices on materiality assessment and scenarios.

Recent developments and events have put some Emerging Risks in the spotlight, such as geopolitical risk, artificial intelligence, and climate change. However, there is a large number of further topics in the Emerging Risks universe that might warrant equal attention. Their assessment will always have to be specific to the individual company and its activities […]
Various practical techniques and insights used in institutional asset management are less known to actuarially trained persons. As is often the case with practical applications, when you have seen an example, you appreciate a method. The course is divided into two-morning sessions from 9:00 to 12:30 with a half-hour break. The course has two aims. […]
Actuaries are very experienced in modelling financial risks either stemming from population dynamics or from random events. Probability theory and statistics is their daily bread. But there are many other phenomena out in the world without having a direct financial impact but should be understood by actuaries as well. This web session is about models […]
