3 Agenda Drivers and barriers Data sources The process Life and health insurance applications Modeling/analyzing longevity 3

4 Famous quotes Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Albert Einstein If you can t explain it simply, you don t understand it well enough. Albert Einstein Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana The price of light is less than the cost of darkness. Arthur C. Nielsen War is ninety percent information. Napoleon Bonaparte Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley 4

5 The environment The interest in predictive modeling has increased substantially in recent years. Drivers Barriers Decrease in cost of storage Quality of data Increase in computer processing speed/memory Rudimentary or basic IT infrastructure Proliferation of data from third parties Inadequate size of or expertise from analytics staff Increase interest in learning more with regard to own data Lack of executive advocacy 5

6 Internal data sources There is increased interest in understanding, restructuring and using own data. Representative data categories Administration system(s) Claims system(s) Policyholder info Past/current claims Experience results Age Date incurred Incidence Gender Date reported Lapse Amount Termination Cause Mortality Smoking status Amount inforce Reinsurance system(s) Asset system(s) Experience study process Province of residence Persistency Occupational code Product design Asset info Reinsurance info Surrender rights/charges Coupon rates Premium Rates Vesting Notional amounts Allowances Market value adj. Market values Coverage Renewal rights Rollover/reset rights Conversion rights 6

7 External data sources Companies who are succeeding in advanced analytic analysis are doing so by their commitment to exploring new data. Data providers Acxiom Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada AM Best AWCBC Bank of Canada Bloomberg BDC Canada Hospital Directory CMHC Canada Revenue Agency Canadian Cancer Society CIHI CMA Cap Index Citizenship and Immigration Canada Dun & Bradstreet HRSDC Environics Equifax Experian GHDx Industry Canada Ipsos LifeGuide Natural Resources Canada Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada OECD PAHO Public Health Agency of Canada Public Safety Canada Statistics Canada Undata UIS World Bank World Values Survey Representative data categories Economic Real Estate Equities Commodities Interest Rates Foreign Exchange Inflation Economic/Bus. trends Demographic Age Gender Ethnicity Income Immigration Data Financial Credit Score Gross/Total Debt Service Ratio Credit Ratings National indices Wage Data Wealth/Net Worth Unemployment Stats Aggregate CRA Data DB, LB and health Death Diabetes Cancer Cardiovascular Disability Injury Depression/Mental Medical & drugs Disability Data Hospital Directory Nursing Home Data Hospital Visit Statistics Prescription Drug Usage Physician Data Geographic Crime Statistics Climate Data Geographic Mapping Population Concentration Behaviors & lifestyle Physical Activity Level Hobbies Lifestyle Clusters Social Values Purchase behaviors Purchase Propensities Spend by Category Purchase Triggers Competitive data Premium Rates Crediting Rates Guaranteed Rates Product Features 7

8 A continuous process The process of delivering business analytics results is one of continuous improvement. What business problem are you trying to solve? Applied analytics Facts Ana lytic Pred insi ict ghts Emb ed Disc ove r Issues Monitor Report Recommend Performance optimization What data can be leveraged to understand the business and improve performance? Actions How do we look to the further and build analytic insights directly into business processes? In Go form ve a r n tion A r ch man i t a e c t ge m I nt en eg t r at e Business Results Understanding What is currently happening or has happened related to our business and why? What should we do about it? 8

9 Optimization algorithms Quantitative analyses Insight Advanced forecasting Role-based performance metrics Descriptive ge Exceptions and alerts Hindsight ta van s ad nes cation us i i g b phist si n o rea and s Predictive and prescriptive Simulation and modelling I nc Foresight that needs to evolve Slice and dice queries and drill-downs Management reporting Enterprise data management 9

10 Applications Life and Health Sales & marketing Underwriting Identify target groups Identify characteristics correlated with purchase decision Understand purchase behaviors and recommend the right product Recruit agents whose characteristics are similar to successful agents Monitor existing agents Identify best risks and prioritize acceptation efforts Identify applicants for whom additional underwriting is needed Support simplified underwriting Claims In-force management Predict claim frequency and severity Prioritize resources Identify likely fraudulent/rescinded claims Identify and retain policyholders likely to surrender Offer additional products to current customers Profile customers Pricing/reserving Experience analysis Improve pricing accuracy Project impact of deviations from pricing parameters Reserve more accurately Identify experience drivers Handle low credibility data by enhancing the data Create own mortality/lapse tables 10

11 Application: Modeling Longevity Questions What is the empirical average death rate (DR)? What is the empirical implied mortality improvement (MI)? What would modeling predict? How does the modeled MI compares to CIA promulgated scale? Are all variables important for forecasting? 11
