Speed of model

When working with actuarial cash flow models, runtime is a critical factor. With tight reporting deadlines, actuaries need results as quickly as possible without sacrificing accuracy. The speed of a model can significantly impact decision-making, especially when running multiple scenarios or handling large datasets.

In this post, we will explore …

Projection horizon

Actuarial cash flow models predict future financial obligations, helping insurers assess risks and make informed decisions. One of the important aspects of building such models is determining the projection horizon, which defines how far into the future calculations should extend.

Choosing the right projection horizon involves balancing precision and …

Model points

Model points are essential inputs in an actuarial cash flow model. They represent individual objects - such as insurance policies or financial assets - for which cash flows are projected. Understanding model points is crucial for structuring actuarial models efficiently.

In this post, we will explain what model points are, …

Time

With actuarial models, we try to predict the future by projecting cash flows over time. These models place results on a timeline with specific future dates, helping actuaries assess financial outcomes. Understanding how time is structured in cash flow models is important, as it …

Actuarial cash flow model overview

Actuarial cash flow models play a key role in financial and insurance analysis. They help actuaries estimate future cash movements based on policyholder behaviour, economic conditions, and various assumptions. Understanding these models is essential for pricing, reserving, and risk management. In this post, we will explore how such models work …
