Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces the commonly used, basic approaches for reserving and ratemaking in General Insurance. It can be viewed as the next step in a progression from the mathematical content of the preliminary examinations to the mixture of theory and practice in the Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice Course to a practice-oriented approach. Professionalism requirements are interspersed throughout - setting a context for the work that actuaries perform. A very practical approach to education is given through varied examples that are linked from one chapter to another, and from one part of the textbook to another. The examples encountered in one chapter for four fictitious insurers (Auto Insurer, Dental Insurer, Collision Insurer, and Homeowners Insurer) continue in later chapters, as well as in the appendices. Detailed examples are also provided for two self-insured organizations, a captive insurer and a self-insurance pool. These examples demonstrate how traditional actuarial approaches can be applied to self-insurers, a topic not typically addressed in actuarial educational material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actuarial work is the application of mathematics and statistics to the analysis of financial problems in life insurance, pensions, general insurance and investments. This unique introduction to the topic employs both a deterministic and stochastic treatment of the subject. It combines interest theory and life contingencies in a unified manner as well as covering basic risk theory. Fundamentals of Actuarial Mathematics presents the concepts in an original, accessible style, assuming a minimal formal background. * Provides a complete review of necessary probability theory. * Covers the Society of Actuaries' syllabus on Actuarial Models. * Orders the topics specifically to facilitate learning, beginning with the simplest case of the deterministic discrete model, and then moving to the more complicated stochastic, continuous models. * Employs modern calculation and computing techniques, such as spreadsheets. * Contains a variety of exercises, both computational and theoretical. * Supported by a website featuring exercises and further examples. * Written by a highly respected academic with over 35 years teaching experience. This book will be invaluable to senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as actuarial professionals working in the life insurance or pension fields. Applied mathematicians and economists will also benefit greatly from the clear presentation and numerous examples.

Download or read book Understanding Actuarial Practice written by Stuart A. Klugman and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New required text for the FAP Modules, as of January 31, 2012. A critical point in an actuary's education is the transition from understanding the mathematical underpinnings of actuarial science to putting them into practice. The problems become less well-defined and the solutions less clear-cut. Understanding Actuarial Practice is designed to aid that transition in four of the areas in which actuaries practice: investments, life insurance and annuities, retirement benefits, and health insurance. In each area students are introduced to the products that are delivered in each area and the relevant methods with regard to pricing, reserving and funding. Examples are supported by readily available spreadsheets and there are numerous exercises that reinforce the concepts. While written expressly for use in the Society of Actuaries Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice Course, this book is a valuable resource for anyone who desires to learn how actuarial principles are put into practice.

Download or read book Loss Coverage written by Guy Thomas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most academic and policy commentary represents adverse selection as a severe problem in insurance, which should always be deprecated, avoided or minimised. This book gives a contrary view. It details the exaggeration of adverse selection in insurers' rhetoric and insurance economics, and presents evidence that in many insurance markets, adverse selection is weaker than most commentators suggest. A novel arithmetical argument shows that from a public policy perspective, 'weak' adverse selection can be a good thing. This is because a degree of adverse selection is needed to maximise 'loss coverage', the expected fraction of the population's losses which is compensated by insurance. This book will be valuable for those interested in public policy arguments about insurance and discrimination: academics (in economics, law and social policy), policymakers, actuaries, underwriters, disability activists, geneticists and other medical professionals.
