Professionalism – Deep Dive on Code of Conduct When is the last time you read the Code of Professional Conduct? Now you don't have to. We will take you through it Precept by Precept, in a fun, interactive session. The Code of Conduct is a “fixed star” – a relatively unchanging, simple set of fundamentals. Many of the precepts are applicable in much of our day-to-day work as actuaries. Behaving “professionally” is not always a black-and-white exercise – we operate in many grey areas, so its good to discuss in a group how these precepts apply in realistic situations. Speaker: |

Dislocation Analysis: Segment Detection of Disrupted Rates Download Presentation Control of rate changes is particularly challenging for complex insurance products. Multiple risks are covered by these contracts, and each risk requires its own specific modeling. When all these risks are combined and entangled, the cumulative effect may lead to undesired disruptive rate changes. One of Dislocation Analysis objectives is to detect the portfolio's segments which are most impacted by the new proposed premium: such information is key as it provides guidance for rating adjustments. Automated modeling can greatly improve the accuracy and speed of the overall process. In this presentation it will be shown how, starting from a global analysis of the rate changes, the modeler can quickly detect the sources of the dislocation and obtain guidance for the right set of adjustment leading to a more desired rating structure. Furthermore, we will see how this proposed automated modeling can be also applied to identify segments of the portfolio whose loss ratios will significantly be increased by the new rate change.
