CAS Research Papers are funded, peer-reviewed, in-depth works focusing on important topics within property-casualty actuarial practice. Funding for CAS Research Papers comes from CAS member dues, individual grants and other sources. Topics are solicited through a variety of means including CAS committees and formal requests for proposals.
In April 2020, word began to spread that actuarial students were having their summer internships shortened, altered and in some cases, cancelled altogether. CAS President Steve Armstrong approached the University Engagement Committee (UEC) and proposed that we find a way to assist these students by offering a program that would help them gain knowledge and experience similar to what an internship would have offered them.
With this column, we’re bringing back a Future Fellows series with a fresh perspective. In June 2021, “Exams In Real Life,” or “Exams IRL,” began as a way to examine how content from CAS exams are used on the job in real life. The Future Fellows issues this year have already addressed MAS I and II (see links below). This column will explore Exam 5-Basic Techniques for Ratemaking and Estimating Claim Liabilities. In essence, we would like to supply a little motivation by answering “Why am I learning this stuff?” and “When am I ever going to use any of it?”
The Casualty Actuarial Society, in conjunction with the CAS Monograph Committee, is pleased to extend a call for monographs on the related topics of Capital Modeling and Portfolio Management. The purpose of this call is to develop a source of literature with emphasis on the educational and professional needs of actuaries to develop and utilize capital models.
CAS Monograph No. 4: Using The ODP Bootstrap Model: A Practitioner’s Guide
by Mark Shapland, FCAS
Introduction
The CAS generally reviews and makes revisions to the study material on an annual basis. Occasionally, a major topic will be added to or deleted from the syllabus. A major topic is defined as a series of learning objectives comprising a segment of an examination. When a major topic is added, the CAS Syllabus & Examination Committee will determine if a transition program is appropriate. A transition program is generally appropriate when candidates are in a position to lose credit for a segment of an examination.
Basic Education Waiver Policy for Actuarial Examinations
The CAS’s Basic Education Waiver Policy addresses the extent to which the CAS will grant waivers of its basic education requirements including Exams 1, 2, and 3F; DISCs; Course on Professionalism; and Validation by Educational Experience requirements, or their equivalents as defined by the Executive Council.
The CAS invites you to join us at the 2018 Ratemaking, Product and Modeling (RPM) Seminar, scheduled for March 19-21 in Chicago. Now in its 10th year, the RPM Seminar continues to evolve by amplifying its focus on modeling and offering sessions on innovative topics. The RPM Seminar provides a forum for actuaries, underwriters, product managers, modelers, predictive analytics professionals, and others to stay current and further their continuing education.
CAS Monograph No. 9: Data Quality Management in the P&C Insurance Sector
Reliable data has always been integral to P&C insurer operations, but the importance of data quality has increased significantly as new data sources and analytical methods, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, have become available. The phrase “garbage in, garbage out” has never been more relevant, and actuaries increasingly must understand and quantify the impact that the quality of the data has on their work.
(Formerly the Reserves Prize)
This award commemorates the work of Ronald Bornhuetter, FCAS (1957). The award was renamed in November 2006 from the Reserves Prize. The award is made to the author(s) of the best paper submitted in response to a call for papers regarding reserves, whenever the program is conducted by the Reserves Committee of the Casualty Actuarial Society.
This prize was established in 1993 in recognition of Charles A. Hachemeister's many contributions to Actuarial Studies in Non-Life Insurance (ASTIN) and his efforts to establish a closer relationship between ASTIN and the CAS. ASTIN was created in 1957 as the first specialty section of the International Actuarial Association (IAA).
Papers published or presented in the calendar year prior to the award year are eligible for the prize, including:
