Joint Regional Seminar 2011

Organized by:

Co-sponsored with:

China Region Committee

Actuarial Institute of Chinese Taipei


OBJECTIVE

Jointly organized by the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries, Institute of Actuaries of Australia and Society of

Actuaries (China Region Committee) with the support of local actuarial bodies, this Joint Regional Seminar is

designed to assist actuaries and other professionals in meeting CPD requirements.

THE SEMINAR

Interest in economic and risk-based capital is growing very rapidly in Asia. Many countries have moved or are

moving towards risk-based and economic capital regimes in the Asian region, and companies are also

recognizing the importance of these metrics in their risk management toolkits. With this shift, both in Asia and

globally, it is important for us to better understand what economic capital intends to accomplish, what is the

appropriate framework to meet the goals, what are the challenges in implementation and how to use the

results sensibly. This seminar intends to give you an in-depth introduction to the subject.

The program will be a change from previous years. It will include both an economic capital training session and

a capital open forum facilitated by practitioners from major industry players. It is intended to provide a hands-

on practical introduction to economic capital, in terms of definitions, approaches, implementation and impacts

involving attendee participation, interaction and learning. But, to make sure there is something for everyone,

we will also have a number of presentations on other topics.

AGENDA FOR THE ECONOMIC CAPITAL TRAINING SESSION:

• History and global trends in economic capital development

• The role of economic capital in strategic and day-to-day business management

• Implementation – what to aim for and how to get there

This training session will be presented by two speakers in each location and we have a panel in place. Speakers/

Panelists include Paul Carrett (UBS), Robert Chen (Taiping Life), Robert Fok (SwissRe), Sutee Mokkhavesa

(Muang Thai Life), Jorge Manuel Noronha (ING) , Greg Solomon (Swiss Re) and Alan Tan (PCA).

AGENDA FOR THE CAPITAL OPEN FORUM SESSION:

This session will include several short introductory viewpoints on aspects of capital model implementation and

use, designed to provide insights and pose questions that will be opened to the rest of the panel and the floor

for discussion. Topics will cover areas that are relevant to various capital measures, including local regulatory,

Solvency II, US RBC and internal capital requirements. Some areas that might be covered include:

• What practically can you do to help senior management accept and understand new metrics ?

• How are capital requirements allowed for in managing your business ?

• What level of investment in and training of staff is needed to successfully implement sophisticated capital

modelling and management techniques ?

• How practically do you calibrate where there is little / no data?
