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, […]
Open insurance is once again the talk of the town: Despite a lot of resistance from the industry, its relevance will certainly increase over time. Driven by the market – but also driven by regulation. This web session will provide insights into the new Financial Data Access regulation (FIDA) that is currently one of the […]
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 […]
Non-Life insurance is facing many challenges ranging from fierce competition on the market or evolution in the distribution channel used by the consumers to evolution of the regulatory environment. Pricing is the central link between solvency, profitability and market shares (volume). Improving pricing practice encompasses several dimensions: - Technical: Is our pricing adequate to cover […]
The two-day online seminar is aimed at actuaries interested in getting started in the broad field of artificial intelligence. The aim is to teach key terms in the field of data science and artificial intelligence, essential concepts of machine learning, and social and regulatory frameworks. Developments in generative artificial intelligence will also be discussed. In […]
The purpose of this seminar is to provide participants with a solid understanding of both traditional and modern AI technologies, blending conceptual knowledge with hands-on coding exercises. Participants will learn to critically assess, implement, and experiment with machine learning models and generative AI techniques, and apply them effectively in actuarial practice, tailored to their professional […]
The purpose of the session is to provide a comprehensive technical overview of methods used to model life insurance lapse and surrender rates, while demonstrating how these approaches integrate with actuarial cash flow models, which support accounting, pricing, risk, and solvency assessments. Key determinants of lapse behaviour will be discussed, ranging from market-dependent factors such […]
Starting from Microsoft Excel, this web session will demonstrate how Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power BI can be integrated to create a seamless and efficient actuarial data workflow. Power Query, via the M language, enables automated data extraction and transformation. Power Pivot allows for the construction of robust Data Models and the use of […]
For years, correlation has been central to the actuarial profession's practice. Actuaries have mastered the art of identifying patterns in historical data to price risk and predict future losses. However, in the era of "Big Data" and increasingly complex algorithms, there is a critical limitation: traditional statistical models can tell us what is happening, but […]
