Predicting risk is an essential element of establishing and maintaining a financially sound captive insurance program. The job of estimating risk falls on the actuary. There are a number of methods of developing expected loss projections, and there are different rating methodologies, each designed to allow an insurer to be adequately funded.  

In this course, participants will learn the basics of predicting risk, rate making, and financial forecasting. The course will examine commonly used methods to estimate ultimate losses. It will also explain how to test results for reasonableness, use the results of forecasts, and make predictions about future costs by using historical loss experience. 

Key course takeaways:

  • Identify the models for predicting risk  
  • Build loss triangles  
  • Use appropriate methods for rate making  
  • Demonstrate how to apply pro forma financial projections
