SUMMARY:EAA Web Session "Predictive Modeling for Life & Health Insurance"
DESCRIPTION:The web session will cover a broad range of topics in predictive modeling that are relevant to actuarial practice. The session begins with a review of multivariable linear regression\, and relatively quickly transitions to more advanced techniques. Advanced topics include logistic regression\, gradient boosting models (GBM)\, and generalized linear models (GLM).\nCase studies will be used throughout the session to demonstrate the concepts in a practical setting. The case studies will focus on applications to life and health insurance. \nRegistration deadline: 14 May 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session: Climate Day
DESCRIPTION:While the actuarial community works on developing new ways to measure the economic impact of the risk posed by global warming\, it is exceedingly important for Actuaries to gain an understanding of the underlying science of climate change. Having discussed the basics of climate science in a dedicated web session in Q4 2020\, we are now going to move from climate science to climate models and then focus onto insurance-specific requirements and applications. \nTo begin with\, we show how laws of physics and chemistry can help us build practical climate models dealing with glaciers\, rising water level etc. Models discussed in this intro lecture not being actuarial\, we already recognize a few links to the world of insurance. \nNext\, we zoom into the insurance context by embarking on a journey through various relevant national and European regulatory requirements. In particular\, we examine how insurance companies can take global warming into consideration in their ORSA. \nHaving discussed several requirements insurers need to comply with\, we move on by considering climate change as a unique investment opportunity. After an overview of Net Zero financing needs and key transition drivers\, we look into green finance and investment examples covering equity\, bonds and alternative asset classes. \nFinally\, we discuss equity release mortgages\, which are very long-term loans popular in several markets such as the UK\, and examine how global warming could impact them over decades of their lifespan through numerous market and insurance risks. \nRegistration deadline: 10 May 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session: Understanding IFRS 17
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn the web session\, we will first shed a light on the context of accounting for insurance contracts within the IFRS 17 framework. We will present and discuss the general concepts behind the new model and refer to the application of valuation models like the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) and the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA). The web session will proceed with a discussion of topics specific to individual lines of business (highlighting topics still under discussion) and summarize potential approaches and solutions. We will close with an overview of methodical hot topics relevant for technical implementation seen in various European markets\, share emerging market views and discuss these with the participants. \nOverall\, the goal is to enable participants to understand the standard and help transferring the requirements into your specific situation. It is thus intended to prepare participants for model development\, implementation\, testing\, reviewing and consulting with management\, accounting and auditors. \nRegistration deadline: 4 May 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session: Structural Reforms for Public Pension Schemes
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this web session (which consists of 2 parts) is to present various experiences of structural reforms of public pension schemes such as NDC (notional account) or point systems and to analyze these techniques in terms of fair equilibrium between financial sustainability and social adequacy. This analysis will motivate to introduce intermediate approaches between classical DB plans and NDC notional accounts\, using inter-generational risk sharing of the aging cost and automatic adjustment mechanisms. The influence of longevity spreads between different socio economic groups will also be addressed in terms of intra generational fairness as well as the actuarial neutrality in case of flexible retirement age. \nRegistration deadline: 19 April 2021

SUMMARY:Web Session "CERA\, Module C: Processes in ERM"
DESCRIPTION:This module deals with the challenges of implementing ERM Processes. It includes requirements on ERM Processes and the discussion of best practices. It will be presented how to define an organisation’s risk strategy\, risk appetite\, risk tolerances and limits. We discuss how business strategy influences risk strategy and show their necessary interaction. We demonstrate the close relationship between ERM and Value and Risk Based Management and show how financial and other risks influence the selection of strategy. We show how ERM can be appropriately imbedded in an entity’s strategic planning and discuss the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment. We present the application of an internal risk control process. In the context of ERM reports to different stakeholders are required (management\, supervisory body\, regulators\, public disclosure). We give an overview of the different reports and the main contents. Further we show examples of communication processes in the context of ERM. During the web session we present case studies to discuss the main subjects. \nRegistration deadline: 8 April 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session: Stochastic Modeling of Mortality with Special Focus on Pandemic Risk
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the web session is to give participants a comprehensive introduction to stochastic mortality models\, epidemiological models\, and how the two interact during pandemic times. We will examine in detail a stochastic mortality model based on the textbook „Stochastic Modeling – Theory and Reality from an Actuarial Perspective“ (copyright © 2010 International Actuarial Association). After studying the technical specifications of the model\, participants will learn to calibrate and apply the model through use of a practical\, Excel-based example. \nThe stochastic mortality model presented in the textbook includes a pandemic component\, which is calibrated based on historical pandemic experience. This web session will present updates to the pandemic component to reflect emerging experience in the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will also learn how COVID-19 compares to various historical pandemics. \nParticipants will receive an introduction to epidemiological models\, including how those models can be used to measure the emerging impact of an ongoing pandemic. The web session will discuss how epidemiological models can be incorporated into stochastic mortality models\, including the ability to reflect stochastic uncertainty in an ongoing\, emerging pandemic. \nRegistration Deadline: 21 March 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session "Machine Learning in Finance and Insurance"
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this web session is that participants should become familiar with neural networks used to solve practical problems in finance\, banking and insurance. To achieve this we begin from the scratch and introduce machine learning techniques step by step: \nTo start with\, we give an overview of this interesting field with the primary focus on neural networks. Motivated by our way of thinking and the human brain we learn how we are able to construct powerful algorithms to solve several problems. The key for an efficient application is the way of training neural networks and thus we focus our attention on this optimization as well. In a second step we strengthen our learned knowledge by focusing on several case studies: We consider an example within the Solvency II context such as implementing an internal model to calculate the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)\, but also applications to financial market such as option pricing by Monte Carlo methods or trading strategies.\nDuring our complete web session we learn how the introduced algorithms can be implemented so that the participants are able to build up their own use cases in Python at the end. \nRegistration deadline: 08 03 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session "Revisiting Life Annuities"
DESCRIPTION:In an increasingly data-driven world both the data being available to actuaries in their daily work as well as the toolbox of algorithms grow significantly. This is because new sources of data are open for actuarial work\, like geo-risk data on granular levels\, data from sensors and all kinds of IoT devices\, health trackers\, telematics data etc. On the algorithmic side\, methods from the area of analytics\, predictive modelling and machine learning as well applications in the area of artificial intelligence (ML in the following). These methods also extend the field of activity of actuaries\, e.g. into the field of customer behaviour analytics. \nWithin this brave new world actuaries must maintain the highest professional standards of data and algorithmic quality. This means that there has to be a systematic management of input data as well as of algorithmic quality throughout actuarial procedures. \nRegistration deadline: 18 February 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session "Automating Reports with R Markdown"
DESCRIPTION:Companies in general\, and insurance companies in particular\, spend a lot of resources re-writing the same reports over and over again. This costly and error prone process can be partially or fully automated with R Markdown. \nR Markdown enables you to:\n– Import data from several sources\n– Wrangle it to suit your needs\n– Run models and design state-of-the-art visuals\, and\n– Write reports in several formats\nall within a single application/script! \nMoreover\, the whole process is reproducible which means that it can be automatically re-generated whenever the underlying data or code changes. This web session will be presented in two parts. In the first part\, we show:\n– The structure of an R Markdown document\n– A practical example of an automated report for a fictional casualty insurance company\n– A brief discussion on implementing R Markdown in a corporate environment \nIn the second part\, we show how to write a simple html report with a step by step example. \nRegistration deadline: 4 February 2021

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session "Quantifying Climate Change Risks within Solvency II – A Practical Approach"
DESCRIPTION:In this web session a practical approach to measure climate change related risk within asset portfolios is presented. It is both\, applicable for ORSA assessments\, and suited for integration into the internal model market risk modules. The concept is developed reflecting recent regulatory opinions on environmental impacts and based on cutting-edge research standards which are pragmatically integrated into risk measurements under Solvency II.\nAfter discussing general principles and paradigms regarding the valuation of climate financial risks\, a scenario-based quantification scheme for the asset portfolio impact of climate risk is developed. Additionally\, a realistic case study is presented\, illustrating the approach and estimating the effects and impacts on the market risk capital calculations. \nRegistration Deadline: 19 Nov 2020
