Rueschhoff, FSA, MAAA Presenter(s): Anthony V. Ferraro, FSA, MAAA; Lauren Minches, FSA; Daniel J. Rueschhoff, FSA, MAAA Experience Level: Beginner-Intermediate Given the recent DOL fiduciary standard, there may be renewed interest in Deferred Income Annuities (DIAs) and qualified longevity annuity contracts (QLACs) as retirement income options. In particular, the DOL ruling may make it harder to justify rolling over a 401(k) to an IRA. In this session, the presenters will discuss these product types along with regulatory developments that may increase use of these products to address Americans' retirement needs. They will also evaluate how different flexibility features can be positioned by annuity product manufacturers to enhance the appeal of these products. At the conclusion of the session, attendees will:

Eaton, FSA, MAAA; Patrick Sugent Experience Level: Beginner The industry has rapidly been incorporating analytics into all aspects of their business, especially in marketing and distribution. The SOA and LIMRA recently collaborated on an industry survey to understand the range of uses of advanced analytics to improve marketing and distribution effectiveness and the perspective of actuaries and non-actuaries on the role actuaries can or could play in these efforts. After a brief presentation of the survey results, we will explore how companies are seeking to apply analytics to drive client acquisition and how actuaries are involved in this process. At the conclusion of the session, attendees will gain ideas on how industry colleagues are looking to use analytics in acquiring customers. Whether it involves improving current practices and processes or implementing new ways to do things, we'll explore how actuaries can participate actively as their organization evaluates tools that can influence a lift in sales, an increase conversion rates or a decrease in costs.

Bahna-Nolan, FSA, CERA, MAAA; Yara Rogers-Silva Experience Level: All Today life insurance carriers are turning to predictive analytics to gain a competitive edge in a rapidly changing market. However, any statistical model used in underwriting or pricing must be carefully and transparently validated. In this session the presenters discuss the selection of appropriate validation datasets. They consider factors that include population size, data quality, age, gender balance, and study duration. They present how vast data resources can be leveraged to aggregate comprehensive validation data for both insured and general populations. Additionally, they discuss approaches to model validation which leverage actuarial tables to measure increased or decreased risk, and compare these method to a naïve approach based on simple mortality rates. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will learn methodologies to evaluate model performance and select the best model from a Life Insurance perspective.
