Asset Allocation In Investing To Meet Liabilities, Anthony Dardis, Vinh Loi Huynh

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

We present some rudimentary concepts on asset/liability management and describe an approach to asset allocation modeling for institutions that invest to meet liabilities. The traditional risk/reward framework of financial economics is used as a starting pOint. The definitions of risk and reward are then refined with regard to the institution under consideration. A simple model of a U.S. life office is examined. We assume that the only investments available are domestic stocks and long-dated government bonds. Stochastic simulation is used to create a large number of future investment scenarios using historical total return data for these asset classes. The ability …

Constrained Forecasting Of The Number Of Ibnr Claims, Louis G. Doray

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

We consider the problem of forecasting the number of claims incurred. After subtracting the number of claims reported to date, the number of claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) can be forecasted. The basic model assumes that the number of claims per accident period follows an autoregressive moving average time series process. Instead of assuming the data are available in the usual claim run-off triangle format, we assume that the only data available are the number of claims reported at the valuation date for each accident interval of an observation period. Box-Jenkins methods are used to forecast the ultimate number …

What We Say In The Naic Annual Statement Blank Actuarial Opinion, Kenneth W. Faig Jr.

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

The new language adopted for the actuarial opinion in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' model actuarial opinion and memorandum regulation has been weakened at the same time the responsibilities of the opining actuary have been increased. The restoration of stronger language to the actuarial opinion would enhance the professional image of the actuary. If the legal environment for professional liability inhibits such a change, the opinion should be changed to describe more precisely the work performed and the conclusion reached by the actuary.

Concentration In American Property-Casualty Companies, Edward Nissan

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

A Theil's entropy index utilizing premiums written as units is employed to measure trends in concentration of the largest 200 property-casualty companies in the United States between 1985 and 1993 based on Best's Insurance Report data. Each of the indexes confirms that concentration trends experienced no increase for the whole period for all 200 firms, the top 20, and subsets of lower ranked companies. Significant differences are observed, however, between groups of companies for the same period.

Disclosure And Confidentiality Requirements Of Corporate Pension Plan Actuaries, Theodore Konshak

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

Corporate pension plan actuaries are subject to the standards of the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries. The Joint Board is empowered to establish such standards under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, a federal law. In consideration of these statutory standards, this article will discuss whether standards published by professional actuarial organizations have any applicability. The contrast between the disclosure requirements of federal law and the confidentiality standards of the Society of Actuaries will be highlighted.

Methodologies For Determining Reserve Liabilities In The Workers Compensation High Deductible Program, Jerome J. Siewert

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

In this paper I describe several approaches for estimating liabilities under a high deductible program, including a proposal for a more sophisticated approach relying upon a loss distribution model. The discussion addresses several related issues dealing with deductible size and mix, absence of longterm histories, and the determination of consistent loss development factors among deductible limits. In addition, I propose several approaches for estimating aggregate loss limit charges, if any, and the asset value for associated servicing revenue.

Annuity Choices For Pensioners, Zaki M. Khorasanee

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

We consider two ways for a retiree to obtain a pension from a retirement fund: through the purchase of a whole life annuity providing a level monetary income; and through the withdrawal of income from a fund invested in equities. Deterministic and stochastic models are used to assess the risks and benefits associated with each approach. In each case the projected cash flows are compared with those from a whole life annuity providing an income linked to price inflation. We conclude that, although each of the two options conSidered involves significant risks, each method may be attractive to certain groups …

A Possibilistic Linear Programming Method For Asset Allocation, Lijia Guo, Zhen Huang

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

The mean-variance method has been one of the popular methods used by most financial institutions in making the decision of asset allocation since the 1950s. This paper presents an alternative method for asset allocation. Instead of minimizing risk for a given expected return or maximizing expected return for a fixed level of risk, our approach considers simultaneously maximizing the rate of return of portfolio, minimizing the risk of obtaining lower return, and maximizing the possibility of reaching higher return. By using a triangular possibilistic distribution to describe the uncertainty of the return, we introduce a possibilistic linear programming model which …
