Event Information

Casualty Actuarial Society’s Envisioned Future (from the CAS Strategic Plan)

The CAS will be recognized globally as the premier organization in advancing the practice and application of casualty actuarial science and educating professionals in general insurance, including property-casualty and similar risk exposure.

CAS Continuing Education Credit

The CAS Continuing Education Policy applies to all ACAS and FCAS members who provide Actuarial Services. Actuarial Services are defined in the CAS Code of Professional Conduct as "professional services provided to a Principal by an individual acting in the capacity of an actuary. Such services include the rendering of advice, recommendations, findings or opinions based upon actuarial considerations."

Members who are or could be subject to the continuing education requirements of a national actuarial organization can meet the requirements of the CAS Continuing Education Policy by satisfying the continuing education requirements established by a national actuarial organization recognized by the Policy. For further information regarding the CAS Continuing Education Policy please visit the CAS web site.

This virtual event may qualify for up to 13.8* CE Credits for CAS members.

*The amount of CE credit that can be earned for participating in this activity must be assessed by the individual attendee. It also may be different for individuals who are subject to the requirements of organizations other than the Casualty Actuarial Society.

Specific registration details will be provided with the discount code.

REGISTER

Instructions
For the employer to obtain this code, they will need to:
1. Login to CAS Store.
2. One representative from an organization registers for the quantity of bulk registrations(in multitudes of 6), add to cart, and complete the purchase.
3. The representative will receive an email from the CAS with the discount code to distribute to the correlated number of employees (if purchasing a bulk of 6, you will distribute the code to 6 employees; if purchasing a bulk of 12, you will distribute the code to 12 employees, etc.).

Once an Employer has the code and distributed it to the appropriate number of employees, individual employees should:
1. Login to CAS Store to register for the Virtual Seminar on Reinsurance
2. Add Full Event Individual Registration to the cart, regardless of price shown.
3. Apply the discount code - this will give them a zero balance fee.
4. Click next until they ‘Submit Order’ and receive a confirmation email.
5. A confirmation email will be issued upon completion of registration. Another email will follow closer to the event date that will include login instructions.

The Reinsurance Tug of War

The reinsurance industry is experiencing a tug of war today across a plethora of areas….

  • There is the “Great Resignation” but still need to build our talent pool
  • The 5 year frequency of large losses drove reinsurers to hold / reduce capacity but yet Reinsurance Capital is at an All Time High
  • Retro pricing approached a cyclical high impacting reinsurer cost of capital but investors maintained capital levels from a year ago
  • Social Inflation and other trends are growing but reserves have not yet met these projected changes

This session will explore the push and pull of current and future market conditions.
