The presenters will discuss the results from this recently released study, conducted by Risk & Regulatory Consulting, LLC on behalf of the Society of Actuaries, Casualty Actuarial Society, and Canadian Institute of Actuaries. The study examines the causes of insurer insolvency from a broad perspective. Property/Casualty, Life, and Health insurers are analyzed together in order to understand the extent to which risk drivers underlying insolvencies are common across these areas. The goal of the study is to assist actuaries, regulators, and other stakeholders in identifying potential risk drivers related to insolvency.
