SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Worldwide Mortality: From Historical Trends to Future Projections'
DESCRIPTION:Life expectancy is a key metric for understanding mortality trends and it varies widely depending on factors such as age\, gender and geography. During this websession\, we will delve into the latest research and data on mortality trends and explore how they have changed over time. \nSince the middle of the 20th century\, world-wide mortality has steadily improved\, but not at the same rate in all regions\, so that clear differences can be recognised between countries. In some OECD – countries\, there has even been a recent decline in mortality improvement\, and the COVID-19 pandemic has at least temporarily reinforced this trend. \nWe analyse different age groups\, their causes of death and how they coincide with mortality developments. In addition to that\, we will discuss the drivers behind changes in mortality\, such as advances in medicine and public health\, changes in lifestyle and socioeconomic factors.\nUnderstanding the various drivers of mortality is essential for predicting future trends and consequently for the assessment of the biometric risk in life- and pension insurance. \nOur online training will also explore the implications of changing life expectancies for our work as actuaries. We will discuss how we can use data and analysis to better understand these changes and make informed decisions about the future. In this context\, we also outline the strengths and limitations of the Lee-Carter model as a widely used model for predicting future mortality rates. \nLast but not least\, we discuss general uncertainties around future mortality\, where we focus especially on the demographic and geographical factors analysed in the first part of the lecture.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2025-01-21

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Stochastic Projection Models in Life Insurance'
DESCRIPTION:This web session provides an overview of three conceptually different approaches for stochastic life insurance projection models currently observable in the market. It compares their key ideas\, explains their strengths & challenges\, and introduces the underlying mathematical / actuarial methodologies. Concerning the application of the comparably little-known Liability-2-Step approach\, the session will present the operational experience of an Austrian insurance company. Although the comparison of the modelling approaches will mainly be conducted from the viewpoint of Solvency II reporting\, the session will also discuss their applicability as basis for the integration of external financial reporting with internal planning and performance management. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-12-11 \nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0448

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session Inflation Risk Management
DESCRIPTION:Over the last five years many countries have seen substantial swings in inflation. This volatility\, following an extended period of relative stability\, has reminded actuaries that unexpected changes in inflation rates can have big implications for organisations that they work for. \nInsurers and pension funds wanting to manage inflation risks will typically find it beneficial to approach this task from a range of perspectives. They will likely want to explore recent as well as more historic inflation experiences and the roles played by different actors as well as by broader social and economic trends. They may also want to draw on stylised descriptions of how inflation might be expected to impact assets and liabilities. They then should bear in mind that actual behaviours of many assets and liabilities in past inflationary and deflationary periods have often only loosely corresponded to such stylised descriptions. \nRisk management is\, of course\, ultimately more about seeking to optimise what happens in the future rather than about explaining what went on in the past. So\, in this web session we will introduce the contexts referred to above and we will also explore approaches that can be used by insurers to model\, manage and hedge risks arising from unexpected changes in inflation rates. In some cases\, the inflationary link may be explicit (e.g. if claims include direct inflation indexation clauses). In other cases\, the link may be less precise or more indirect\, but these risks may still need highlighting and exploring if risk management is to be successful.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-12-08\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0464

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Life Biometric Assumptions: Bringing Together New & Classic Methods'
DESCRIPTION:Advances in data analytics techniques\, along with greater availability of data\, have significantly impacted many industries. However\, in insurance\, these advances merely add to the technical foundations upon which the industry was built. It is only recently that modern data analytics techniques have begun to impact insurance companies\, especially in the work actuaries do. \nThe impact has been even slower to emerge in the life insurance sector where\, due to the nature of the business\, there is significantly less claims and exposure data available compared to non-life insurance. As a result\, classic data analytics techniques and data sources are still key to the work actuaries do\, especially when developing biometric assumptions. However\, given the important role biometric assumptions play in the success of a company\, it is important to understand how and if these new techniques should be applied. \nTo help make sense of the evolving landscape\, this web session looks at the various components of life biometric assumptions (e.g. mortality tables\, adjustment factors\, improvement factors\, etc.). For each component the potential sources of internal and external data will be explored. From there the value of classic data analytics techniques\, particularly credibility theory\, will be discussed\, as well as modern techniques\, such as machine learning. All of this will be brought together to give an understanding of the benefits\, drawbacks\, and pitfalls of the various data sources and analytics techniques\, including considerations for data privacy and discrimination. The participants can then use this knowledge to effectively gain the benefits from each based on the quality and quantity of data available within their company and its market.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-12-03\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0455

DESCRIPTION:The calculation of life insurance products is traditionally based on the approach of commutation values\, whose table properties enable extensive actuarial calculations even without large computer capacities. However\, especially for modern and more flexible life insurance tariffs\, the calculation by means of commutation values reaches its limits\, so that the calculation approach based on Markov chains is gaining in importance and has been used for some time in the mathematical cores of new portfolio administration systems. \n  \nThis web session will provide an insight into the calculation of common life insurance products using the Markov approach. For this purpose\, first an overview of the best-selling life insurance products in some European countries and their classic calculation will be given. In the following\, the principle of Markov chains is explained and a model for calculating actuarial values is derived. \n  \nFinally\, the online training also addresses problems that can arise when migrating from classically calculated portfolios to systems with the Markov approach. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-11-25 \nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0447

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Emerging Risks: Statistical Analysis and Scenario Building'
DESCRIPTION:In a context of widespread instability\, the actuarial analysis of emerging risks takes on particular importance to facilitate the adaptation of insurance to these profound changes. Whether it be old risks with poorly anticipated consequences (such as the epidemiological risk\, as demonstrated by the recent Covid-19 crisis\, whose consequences can significantly exceed purely healthcare boundaries)\, risks undergoing strong and worrying evolution (such as climate risk)\, or more recent risks (such as cyber risk)\, the task of actuaries is particularly delicate. The lack of data is notably a hindrance to a rigorous approach to these important questions. This session aims to lay the groundwork for a scientific approach to this problem and to introduce some tools for discussing the insurability of these new risks. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-11-04 \nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0445

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Predictive Modelling in the Insurance Sector'
DESCRIPTION:Predictive modeling is a process used to forecast future outcomes or behaviours based on historical data and patterns. By building mathematical models that analyse past data predictive modelling aims to uncover relationships between different variables in a dataset and use those relationships to make predictions about new observations. \nOverall\, these methods complement the traditional actuarial vision in the insurance sector by providing insurers with advanced analytical tools and techniques to improve risk assessment\, underwriting\, pricing\, and fraud detection processes\, ultimately leading to better decision-making and more profitable business outcomes. \nDuring the session\, we will provide an overview of how predictive modelling works and highlight some of its applications in the insurance sector. This will be followed by a demonstration of a use case where these models were used to assist in pricing a motor book. We will walk through the process from cleaning and processing data\, to analysing and fitting the model\, and finally\, to finding insights and understanding the outputs. Additionally\, we will cover ideas on how to use those outputs to create a pricing guide for policies.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-11-03\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0458

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'System Migrations of Life Insurance Contracts: DON’T JUST MIGRATE'
DESCRIPTION:During the seminar\, the aforementioned will be concretely illustrated based on a migration of a very diverse classic life insurance portfolio (with guaranteed life and/or death performance in various combinations). On the one hand\, we will go over the different steps (actuarial and non-actuarial- in a migration project and on the other hand\, we will demonstrate how this portfolio can a) be migrated to a modern generic cash-flow-driven management platform (universal life + unit linked)\, and b) at the same time the life insurance policies can also be renewed. During the seminar participants will understand that the underlying renewal is fundamental to make the migration a real success: both for the insurer and for the policyholders and beneficiaries.Although the aforementioned will be illustrated from Belgian practice\, we believe that this innovative migration strategy is useful\, relevant and innovative in many other countries. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-11-03
