26/30/33 had read exposed PBR for Life Products / exposed Modeling / Credibility ASOPs
Timeframe: 12-24 months from beginning steps to implement 13% / 34% had informed Board / Senior Management of increased
responsibilities under PBR
SOA-NAIC Survey
Resources Nearly all believe system updates are needed to implement PBR
30% / 40% substantial updates needed to pricing / valuation 26/30/33 had read exposed PBR for Life Products / exposed Modeling /
Credibility ASOPs Majority anticipated a moderate increase in staffing, reallocation of
existing staffing, and/or increased use of consultants and software 16% / 0 % had had developed training plans for actuarial / non-actuarial
staff in preparation for implementing PBR 28 /15 anticipated purchasing software / using home grown Majority had NOT determined cost of implementation/ongoing costs
Survey Highlights
Mortality Assumption Setting and Modeling Most anticipated changes to assumption setting process
Credibility, documentation, margin setting and approval Most indicated completing mortality studies at least annually
Somewhat prepared to complete studies to extent required by PBR More than half had NOT determined any of the pieces needed to
perform the process needed to calculate VM-20 mortality Only half reported modeling documentation was adequate
Survey Highlights
Survey HighlightsProduct Development Implications Fair amount of uncertainty re: PBR impact on product offerings Very few had discussed design/pricing implications with sales & marketing < 40% had started discussions between pricing and valuation

NPR is just like Triple X, just a smaller hump. Right?
We compare 7 trial results using gross premiums: $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800, and $900. No other variables are being changed.
Hypothesis1. Terminal reserves for the 7 trials will ____ (in order of trials 1 to 7).
(A) be equal (B) increase (C) decrease (D) increase then decrease (E) decrease then increase

Hypotheses1. For the 10 year block in policy years 3-8, (trial 94-95%’s NPR+DPA) /
(trial 83-87%’s NPR+DPA) is in the range _______.(A) 0-5% (B) 5-10% (C) 10-15% (D) 15%+
3. For the 10&20 year block, the number of years using a credibility factor of 28-32% instead of 93-100% increases the minimum reserve is in the range _______.
(A) 1-3 (B) 4-6 (C) 7-9 (D) 10-12
Experiments 2 explores mortality margins and credibility factors using the Bühlmann credibility method. We compare 11 trials. No other variables are being changed. Margins vary by attained age. The margins at ages 0-45 for the trials are:
