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

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Assets and Liabilities Management (Part 2: Advanced)'
DESCRIPTION:For an insurance company\, ensuring the proper coordination between assets and liabilities in order to achieve targeted financial objectives is of paramount interest. A strategy used to reach such objectives is „asset and liability management“ (ALM in short). ALM can therefore be viewed as any ongoing process that defines\, implements\, and monitors financial strategies to manage assets and liabilities together. \n  \nIn recent years\, the modelling tools used in ALM strategies have become increasingly sophisticated and the technical aspects of current insurance regulation have increased. As a result\, some ALM aspects have become more and more difficult to understand and master. \nThe second part is more advanced and intended for those wishing to gain more in-depth expertise on the topics. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-10-10 \nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0426

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Strategic Balance Sheet Management (Business Game)'
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the workshop is to teach the participants the impact of the various levers an insurer can pull to manage its capital position and in turn manage its balance sheet towards the requirements of the different viewpoints an insurer has\, i.e. IFRS17\, Solvency II\, Local GAAP and of course an economic asset view.\nWe will start the day by introducing the concept of strategic balance sheet management. Set goals and ambitions to optimize the key performance indicators to which insurance companies manage themselves. We will demonstrate how you can replicate the balance sheet of an insurer in a platform designed to do this. We will then show you tools you can use to alter the capital position of the insurer.\nFrom here we will move onto exercises. We are going to make the game real and create smaller groups. Each group has its own insurer inside its own environment. Each group will be set goals\, to manage towards certain KPI’s. They get their time to confer with their colleagues and present their findings.\nThe ultimate goal is to demonstrate how the activity of one group can differ. We will illuminate how the activity of departments in isolation can influence the balance sheet of the wider insurer and by extension other departments.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-10-08\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0463

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Climate Change Scenarios in Context – A Stress Testing Case Study'
DESCRIPTION:Climate Risk scenarios are commonly used in the insurance industry for stress testing\, but interpreting and communicating results is often challenging\, given strong limitations and complex assumptions. Why are physical stresses often so low\, and what can be done about this? What is the impact of the recent surge in fossil fuels on transition risk? What is the role of inflation and interest rates within the scenarios? \nFurthermore\, the scenarios have also substantially evolved over the last years. This has not only substantial implications on results and key messages from stress testing\, but also on how scenarios can be applied for stress testing purposes. \nThis session will have a practical focus around a case study in order to illustrate not only the practical elements of stress testing\, but also discuss challenges and limitations and provide context around the foundations surrounding the scenarios. We will introduce commonly used scenarios\, provide practical guidance on implementation of stress tests\, and discuss key evolutions\, challenges\, and limitations in the interpretation of stress test results. We will conclude with an outlook on how key challenges are expected to be addressed going forward.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-10-07

SUMMARY:EAA Seminar 'Open Source Tools R and Python: Extending the Tool of the Actuary'
DESCRIPTION:Over the last years\, typical data science tasks like data manipulation and modelling have gained a stronger foothold in the day-to-day professional life of the actuary. Open source languages are renowned to be especially equipped to deal with these kind of tasks\, but can also be tricky to get started with\, especially when one has not been properly introduced to them. This workshop offers the opportunity to become more familiar with the open source environment and their applications\, illustrated in detail by means of a number of hands-on modules\, hereby enabling the actuary to tackle the data science tasks in an elegant manner. \nOpen source tools like R\, Python and more recently Julia have gained a lot of momentum in recent years\, not just in popularity but also in number of contributed code. Their respective communities are nowadays no longer exclusively composed of academic researchers and scientists\, but also of professionals of all sorts of backgrounds\, especially since the industry and corporate world have understood the added value of ‘community driven software’ and started to plug open source tools into their processes and corporate tissue. \nOn top of this\, actuaries are confronted with the same issues as academic researchers and scientists: the production of readable\, shareable and reproducible code and results. In the actuarial community\, R already is a fairly known and used open source language\, Python however a little bit less\, even if it’s also packed with potential and even if it disposes of a vast biosphere of its own. This workshop will also focus on the ’scientific stack‘ of both R and Python and draw some comparisons between both worlds where we will try to show that it’s not a matter of choosing between both ecosystems but of choosing the best of both (continuously evolving) worlds. \nThe goal of this two-day training is to introduce the participants to both open source ecosystems and to get a good understanding of both languages. However\, since both ecosystems are way too vast to be covered in merely two days\, the participants will be asked to go through the basics of both languages themselves\, prior to the seminar. During the first three hours of the seminar\, these basics which will be shortly revised\, but at a higher pace. In this way\, the presenters can focus more on examples and on providing more hands-on experience to the participants. The course material\, containing the basics of both languages\, will be provided by the organizers several weeks before the beginning of the seminar\, such that the participants will have plenty of time to go through the material at her/his ease.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-09-24

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Valuation of Hybrid Financial and Actuarial Risks'
DESCRIPTION:How to valuate future cash flows is a fundamental problem in both finance and actuarial science. (Pricing of financial products\, premium and technical provisions of insurance contracts). However\, traditional ways of valuing actuarial or financial liabilities are quite different. In Finance\, the pricing is based on risk neutral expectations of discounted cash flows\, originally justified by hedging portfolios. In Insurance\, premium calculation principles use a real world best estimate value plus a risk premium\, given for instance by a standard deviation approach and justified by pooling effect of independent contracts. This dichotomy of paradigm is debatable and could encourage us to find a unifying tool. This also becomes a real challenge when it comes to pricing for instance hybrid life insurance or pension products mixing actuarial and financial risks. Different techniques have been recently developed in the actuarial literature in order to address this fundamental valuation problem in a harmonious manner\, in order to remain simultaneously market consistent and actuarial consistent. Another issue when pricing insurance risks is the presence of diversifiable and systematic risks requiring also different risk measurement. Finally\, when the valuation has to be dynamic (for instance technical provisions)\, the time consistency of the method is an additional difficulty.The objective of this web session is to present various recent researches developed in the actuarial literature\, in order to valuate complex cash flows mixing financial and actuarial risks. After an introduction presenting the main challenges\, we develop several approaches recently proposed. All the techniques will be applied to a typical participating life product and numerical illustrations will be given. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-06-26

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Climate Day 5.0'
DESCRIPTION:The debate on climate change has rapidly evolved in recent years. It is no longer on whether the evidence of human impact on climate change is real\, but on whether key mitigating strategies being adopted are sufficient. \n  \nFor insurance industry\, climate change manifests itself through a variety of risks on the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet. In our Climate Day 5.0\, we are going to zoom into the following topics: \n  \nHow can we capture the tail dependency between heat and mortality? \nHow climate change impact upon an asset portfolio can be captured in one KPI? \nHow can ESG risks be reflected in the strategy of an insurance company? \nWhat is the impact of climate change on low-income people and what insurers should be doing? \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-06-13

SUMMARY:: EAA Web Session 'How to Read the New IFRS Balance Sheet  for Insurers'
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this three-hour web session is to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction on the new IFRS reporting requirements for insurance contracts after go-live of IFRS 17. Focus will be the illustration of the new reporting requirements of IFRS 17 to “demystify” the new presentation requirements on the IFRS balance sheet and the statement(s) of financial performance (Profit and Loss as well as Other Comprehensive Income). The web session will also briefly compare key aspects of the new reporting requirements to former IFRS 4-reporting practice\, contain a brief summary of the main information which can be found within the new IFRS 17 reporting and cover the different aspects for primary and reinsurance related business. \n  \nOverall\, the goal is to enable participants to understand the IFRS 17 reporting and help transferring the reporting requirements into the specific situation of the participant. It is thus intended to prepare participants for analysing\, testing\, reviewing\, and consulting with management\, accounting\, and auditors. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-06-13

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Non-Life Reserving'
DESCRIPTION:As Insurance is being impacted by new and disruptive technology\, how will actuarial reserving techniques be impacted? Whilst triangle methods have traditionally been seen as the key methods in the reserving area\, this may be challenged in the future by more complex expectations\, improving technology\, modelling capabilities\, etc. \n  \nReserving practices are expected to keep changing\, as the influences of big data and regulatory requirements continue to evolve. \n  \nThe aim of this workshop is to \n  \nRefresh classical actuarial/statistical techniques used in non-life reserving (Gaap and Solvency 2). \nFocus on some practical problems faced by reserving actuaries\, by presenting practical examples. \nIntroduce more advanced techniques used in non-life reserving in order to open new perspectives on more granular reserving calculation\, case estimates\, etc. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2024-06-06
