Dear Sir or Madam,

Please note, that the early-bird registration deadline for the EAA seminar "Modelling and Validating Mortality under Solvency II" on 28/29 May 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden is coming up.

This seminar, held in in co-operation with the Svenska Aktuarieföreningen, covers the most recent insights in mortality modelling, such as single and multi-population mortality models and portfolio-specific mortality, and their use within Solvency II.

One of the many topics during this course is the application of multi-population mortality models. These kind of models gained recent attention as they were used by both the Dutch Actuarial Society (September 2014) and the Belgian Actuarial Society (February 2015) for their latest publication of mortality rate projections. Various insurance and pension funds in these countries apply these mortality projections for their liability calculations. In such a model mortality rates of the country of interest are modelled as a deviation from a common (Western) European trend. Such models take a different approach compared to single-population models, where only historic data of the country of interest is used to predict future mortality rates.

During the training, multi-population mortality models, their implementation and application (e.g. best estimate provisions, life expectancies, model uncertainty and possible use within Solvency II) will be one of the topics to be discussed. In Belgium and the Netherlands this was also the first time in history a stochastic mortality model has been published next to a deterministic best estimate projection of future mortality.

Please make sure to safe your place at the early-bird rate of € 790.00 plus 25% VAT which is valid until 6 April 2015 only. After this date the fee will be € 970.00 plus 25% VAT. You may find all additional information attached and on our website incl. a registration form.
