A breathtaking journey through current trends affecting the life and annuity reinsurance industry, as told by its chief chronicler Alberto Abalo. Presented at the 2014 Valuation Actuary Symposium.
The failed $1.5 billion merger talks between Tata Teleservices and Hughes Telecom India has turned the companies into rivals. The collapse of the deal is bad for both startups but worse for Hughes, as it missed an opportunity in one of Asia's most promising telecom markets. The talks broke down over disagreements on valuations of the businesses. Tata's parent company says it will now focus on growing organically in its existing markets in India.
Actuarial trends in the US life reinsurance market from 2010-2015 include:
1) Cession rates declined from 2010-2013 but have stabilized in recent years as the market reached equilibrium.
2) The use of captives contributed to declining cession rates but new regulation like AG48 aims to increase transparency around "shadow insurance".
3) The market saw significant consolidation from 2005-2013 with the top 5 reinsurers increasing their share of the market from 77% to 93%.
The document discusses the role of underwriting in reinsurance disputes and how disputes have impacted the underwriting process. It provides examples from case law where underwriting evidence was considered in resolving contractual ambiguities. Disputes have led to more detailed documentation of negotiations and changes in contract wording to address common issues. The underwriting process has become more rigorous with greater pre-contract scrutiny and reinsurers more actively monitoring risks.

Solvency II presentation by Claude Penland, ActuaryCasualtyActuary
Solvency II is the updated set of regulatory requirements for insurance firms in the European Union. There are concerns that insurers may need to outsource asset management, specialist employee costs are increasing, and catastrophe risk may not be appropriately represented under Solvency II. Additionally, pension funds and insurers disagree on whether pension funds should fall under Solvency II regulation. The latest Solvency II test results are expected in March 2011 and there may be industry consolidation and redomiciling as a result of Solvency II changes.

Geopolitical Risks and Threats - Pandemic and Other Risks - Canada and the Wo...paul young cpa, cga
It is extremely easy to blame Russia for the high inflation. The reality is inflation was rising way before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Inflationary targets tend to be 1.9% to 2.3%. With inflation over 7% for many countries, then it begs to answer the question how policy makers will address the drivers of inflation. Too many progressive governments are looking at ways to further tax individuals and businesses. Little said about the need to reform taxation and regulatory policies as part of addressing issues with productivity, skills gaps, housing costs, and innovation.
This article discusses how leading risk managers have called on insurers to provide more innovative insurance solutions to address complex emerging risks. Speakers at industry events urged insurers to adapt to changing business needs and develop strategic solutions through improved dialogue with clients. While some new products have been developed, their relevance has sometimes been questioned. The influx of alternative capital is seen as an opportunity for traditional insurers to better meet client demands through new solutions and superior service. Insurers and brokers are urged to find ways to harness alternative capital to cover new risks and fill gaps in coverage. Innovation is viewed as key for the insurance industry to respond to challenges and changing client needs.

Future variants will continue to grow and exist. World needs to co-exist with these variants through better mitigation risk management of variants.
World government need to address issues with their healthcare model including introducing more homecare and private clinics as way to eliminate hallway medicine
Pharma/Biotech need to work with government as part of managing drug approval and costs.
All levels of government need to have audited crisis and emergency management reports
Both the private and public sector need to emphasis more health and wellness programs
More needs to be done to re-shore critical parts of the supply chain
Governments around the world need to address their fiscal gap including tax reform, program spending review, and more value for money/operational audits
Canada needs to lift their federal mandates - https://globalnews.ca/news/8928538/companies-end-covid-vaccine-mandate-canada/
As we suggested in our 2015 P&I Review, this year’s renewal was destined to be flat with little in the way of increased premiums. Given the continued falling freight market, coupled with record free reserves, one could argue the very mention of general increases would have been completely out of the question. If there was ever a time to adopt a more relaxed stance, then this was it.
The Greenlight Capital funds returned 9.4% in Q3 2012, bringing the YTD return to 13.2%. Central banks around the world have engaged in unprecedented monetary easing through bond purchases. The Fed will purchase $40B per month of mortgage backed securities indefinitely at near 0% interest rates. There is concern that further monetary stimulus could create new asset bubbles. Gold and several stock positions contributed positively to returns in Q3, while an undisclosed macro position was negative.
The presentation discusses various topics related to stock markets and the global economy. It begins with an overview of the stock market in Canada and the United States, including factors influencing recent volatility. It then covers additional topics like auditing, corporate reporting challenges, crisis management, automation, ESG reporting, and geopolitical risks. For each section, the presentation provides links to related blog posts, reports, and analyses by the presenter exploring the issues in more depth.
The Bribery Act 2010 introduced stricter legislation around bribery and corruption in the UK. It created general bribery offences as well as a new "failure to prevent bribery" offence applied to commercial organizations. An example case discusses IKEA executives accepting bribes from a supplier to ensure certain orders. Under the new Act, both the supplier and executives would be liable, and IKEA could potentially be liable for failing to prevent bribery. Key issues with the legislation include its broad jurisdictional reach and director/officer liability. The Serious Fraud Office has provided guidance emphasizing enforcement of the Act while working pragmatically with businesses.
- The ongoing COVID-19 crisis poses an enormous challenge for the airline industry, with some airlines already ceasing operations or entering administration. Airlines will focus on reducing capacity, cutting costs, and conserving cash.
- Growth in the airline industry in the short to medium term will likely be curtailed as airlines rightsize their operations to align with lower demand. This also provides an opportunity for airlines to fundamentally reexamine their operating models.
- While virtual reality can connect people during periods of social distancing, it will not replace the authentic experience of real travel. Technology may help promote new destinations, but personal experiences are not easily replicated virtually.

CIT agrees to sell its home lending business, including $9.3 billion in assets and servicing operations, to Lone Star Funds for $1.5 billion in cash.
