Capturing Risks in Insurance Premiums (EAA Seminar) - 12/13/12/2011 - Ljubljana (Slovenia)
Pricing an insurance product is a process which requires a lot of knowledge and experience. The price is the outcome of the economic process of demand and supply, and it should create profit for insurers.
Within the pricing process the insurance company has to first calculate its cost price related to insurance risks embedded in the product. Based on expertise main features of products are set, which are then fine-tuned using actuarial calculation. An important part of pricing is also the underwriting process. Actuaries can play an important and maybe even leading role in this process.
The early-bird registration fee is € 870.00 plus VAT until 12 October 2011 the latest. After this date the fee will be € 970.00 plus VAT.

Internal Models in Solvency II (EAA Seminar) - 26-28/10/2011 - Helsinki (Finland)
The use of internal models (for parts of the Solvency II process or for the mapping of the complete risk management process) is an important decision in the governance of an insurance company. The interdisciplinary use of actuarial knowledge and methods, combined with the understanding of enterprise risk management, governance and reporting is a new and ambitious task for actuaries. The target of this seminar is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge concerning theory, use and implementation of Internal Models in Solvency II.
The seminar is designed for actuaries and risk managers who are in charge of or involved in the development of Internal Models in an insurance company, in a supervisory authority or in audit or consultancy firms. It supports actuaries, risk managers and senior management in these interdisciplinary tasks:
- Improve the understanding of the role and importance of Internal Models in the Solvency II-Process
- Improve the understanding in how to use, calibrate and implement Internal Models
- Improve the understanding in the underlying business processes in the entity.
