Pension funds link generations simply by the time scale of their transactions. Participants pay pension contributions for decades so that getting benefits after retirement, hopefully again for decades. During the course of their career new cohorts start their working life, so there is always active and retired living side-by-side. One group is only paying into […]
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. This session will provide practical guidance on stress testing application in the ORSA context, focusing on financial risks, and provide context and foundations necessary in order to communicate […]
In the continuously evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a disruptive technology transforming how we interact with AI systems. RAG combines the strengths of information retrieval and Large Language Models to create powerful applications that can access and use vast amounts of data to generate contextually relevant and […]
This ALM training starts with a first part that is primarily an introduction to main concepts of ALM and is therefore particularly suited for participants coming from different departments (for instance, people dealing with own risk solvency assessment techniques or enterprise risk management) and wanting to develop a broader view on what ALM is and […]
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 kinds of tasks, but can also be tricky to get started with, especially when one has not […]
This web session is designed to be valuable for participants affected by IFRS-reporting, for example working as actuarial, finance, controlling or risk experts. It is also beneficial for those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the practical application of this critical component of the standard. The session will provide insights and guidance on good […]
The web seminar focuses on quantitative analyses of financial and non-financial risks of an insurance company and the effect and possible applications of risk mitigation techniques. After an introduction to the economic valuation of an insurance company, including stochastic valuation models and approximation techniques for life companies, and the building blocks of its economic balance […]
This is part four of four courses required to obtain the EAA Certificate in Actuarial Data Science. To earn the certificate, participants must complete all four modules, which include both the seminar and the exam. Members of AVÖ and/or DAV will obtain the additional title Certified Actuarial Data Scientist (by AVÖ and/or DAV) by fulfilling […]
Non-Life insurance is facing many challenges ranging from fierce competition in the market or evolution in the distribution channel used by 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 […]
Quantifying Uncertainty in Actuarial Models: An Introduction to Conformal Prediction As the actuarial landscape becomes increasingly data-driven, traditional statistical methods are evolving, linking point estimates with quantifiable uncertainty. Conformal Prediction is a powerful framework used to evaluate the uncertainty of predictions. It turns point predictions into prediction regions, in this way, when you make a […]
While the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) has been in force in each EU member state since 2018 at the latest, its implementation has only become the focus of supervisory authorities in the last two years. Of particular importance are the requirements for the product approval process according to Article 25 IDD in connection with the […]
By the end of the web session, participants will leave with a toolkit of explainability techniques, an in-depth understanding of model interpretability, and the ability to use XAI approaches in practical actuarial applications. Participants will also understand mathematical principles behind key XAI techniques, evaluate the strengths and limitations of XAI methods, run a machine learning […]
