The goal of this two-day training is to introduce the participants to both open-source ecosystems and to give them 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 web session. During the first three hours of the web session, these basics which will be shortly revised, but at a higher pace. The course material, containing the basics of both languages, will be provided by the organizers several weeks before the beginning of the web session, such that the participants will have plenty of time to go through the material at her/his ease.

As such, less time needs to be spent on the basic elements of both languages, thereby enabling us to organize a three-hour hands-on exercise session to more easily assimilate the course material. Note that the participants need to bring along a laptop on which both R and Python are installed. Instructions on how to do so will be provided by the organizers at the same time as the course material of R and Python basics, hence several weeks in advance.

As a result, a jump-start on how to truly use these languages in practice will be provided to the participants, by focusing on solutions for problems that they will surely regularly encounter in their day-to-day job, by handing over lots of links to online resources and very rich course material and by even organizing hands-on exercise sessions.

The aim of this training is to

• Define what ALM is and describe the typical missions of an ALM department in an insurance company
• Present the financial risks on which ALM classically focus as well as the requirements of the Solvency II regulation for insurance companies
• Describe the essential quantitative ALM tools and methods used by insurance companies to evaluate and mitigate the risks
• Illustrate the different concepts through numerical examples and case studies to make it practical and not just theoretical

This ALM training consist of two parts. This is the first part and is primarily an introduction to main concepts of ALM. The second part (to be booked separately) is more advanced and intended for those wishing to gain more in-depth expertise on the topics.

This web session is designed to equip actuarial professionals with a solid understanding of RAG and its practical applications in the actuarial field. The session will be split into a theoretical deep dive and a hands-on session. Participants will discover the theory behind RAG and its core components, including the key role played by vectors and vector stores, and explore advanced engineering techniques that drive superior performance, such as query decomposition, re-ranking, prompt engineering, and agents.

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 and interpret the results. We will discuss key evolutions in recent years with a particular emphasis on NGFS scenarios and the modelling of physical risks. 

The session will be based around a case study for a generic insurer, where we calculate impacts on the insurer’s capital position under different climate change scenarios, thereby illustrating the practical elements of stress testing. In this context, we will specifically talk about: Key steps to practical implementation of stress tests, models for key financial variables relevant for insurance stress testing (e.g. interest rates, credit spreads), NGFS scenarios and their recent evolution, impact of scenario updates, modelling of physical risks, as well as key limitations and considerations for reporting.

Our aim is to provide pension actuaries and other interested experts with an overview of topics and methods in relation to discussion of intergenerational fairness. 

The concept of equity requires that similar careers should result in similar benefits. Or insured persons should get their (socially) agreed level of pensions over long periods under the same conditions. On one end of the spectrum an argument is that the value of the benefits should be equal to the contributions. On the other end, socially agreed needs also should be financed from the fund. These approaches lead to different conclusions from actuarial fairness to social fairness. Both worth valuing their pros and cons. 

First of all, this definition focuses on adequacy of the pensions. It is best perceptible from individual perspective. However, the second part of the definition is setting long term feasibility actuarial-academy.com conditions which we usually call financial sustainability, and it should be met at population and economy level. 

This situation might be familiar to pension experts. The adequacy and sustainability objectives are contradicting by definition, and we have to balance between them. Pension reforms leading to restrictions start from financing issues and reversals or adequacy measures introduced only after crises or from political reasons. Their cycle is different. 

Intergenerational fairness might be discussed during policy dialogue. Most measures focus on one or two aspects of equity or feasibility. In intergenerational context balancing between adequacy and sustainability may be put into the context of intergenerational risk sharing.

In this web session, we will introduce participants to market-linked insurance products and provide an overview of the developing product landscape across different European countries. 

We will focus on an analysis of some major product categories including hybrids, index-linked policies, private market products and market-linked annuities. How can such products be constructed efficiently? What are the current challenges and how can they be addressed? How should these products be positioned to make them attractive to both insurers and policyholders? 

The web session concludes with an outlook of where the market will be headed and how insurers need to further develop their product offering.
