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 […]

With the rise of digital economy, cyber risk has become a major concern for all customer segments. Although the development of “physical” protection strategies against cyberattacks is fundamental, no protection is perfect, and insurers are intended to play a crucial role in providing financial protection. The cyber-insurance market is increasingly developing but with important uncertainties […]

The web session has two main aims: 1. Introduce the audience to the set of functional programming functions introduced in Excel 2024 (LAMBDA, LET, MAP, REDUCE, etc) and show how they can be used in practice to create algorithms previously out of Excel reach, such as loops, algorithms in more than 2 dimensions and recursion […]

Customers’ lives have changed – and life insurance must evolve with them. Innovation is no longer a choice but a necessity. Regulatory shifts, digitalisation, changing capital markets, rising customer expectations, and new competitors are reshaping the playing field. How can life insurers respond – developing products that are simpler and more relevant, while making product […]

The goal of the two-day web session is to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the new measurement, presentation and disclosure guidance for insurance contracts. It will cover life, health and non-life business, including the special guidance on direct participating contracts and shorter term non-life contracts and give useful examples. In the web session, […]

In an era marked by unprecedented technological advancements, the actuarial landscape has experienced profound transformations. The exponential growth of computational power and the abundance of data have converged and provide an exciting opportunity for the actuarial profession to redefine its boundaries and explore the ethical implications of this new field. The role of actuaries is […]
