The Casualty Actuarial Society recently released a joint report examining China’s insurance trends. Co-sponsored with the Society of Actuaries and Canadian Institute of Actuaries, “China: An Era of Insurance Innovation,” highlights insurance trends in China, with a particular focus on topics that will drive the enterprise risk management (ERM) function of insurance companies.
The CAS is pleased to announce its inaugural “Hacktuary Challenge,” a contest designed to showcase the actuarial skill set in developing novel risk engineering solutions. The challenge offers a prize of $15,000 to the individual or group who develop an application that utilizes actuarial concepts to solve a pressing risk management problem related to personal auto insurance. The target platform of the application is open — it may be deployed as a mobile app, an interactive web site, a desktop application, or some other means. The only deployment criteria are that it be publicly available and feature interactive elements.
