Christiansen June 1, 2012 biometric risk / demographic risk calculated number actual number of deaths, disabilities, lapses, etc. risk parts unsystematic risk: deviations from expected values estimation risk: estimations deviate because of finite sample sizes systematic risk: demographic changes not anticipated today

Christiansen June 1, 2012 dealing with unsystematic biometric risk define L = future liabilities of a portfolio of m (independent) policies then because of the law of large numbers / diversifiability E(L) = equivalence premium yet the insurer charges the premium E(L) + safety margin = conservative premium E (L) = conservative premium
