Brief history
Until November 2013, mortality under assurance contracts was covered by the life office mortality investigation and critical illness experience was covered by the critical illness investigation. Since that date, both have been covered by the assurances investigation.
Data
The CMI currently adopts a flexible approach to the data it collects:
- The data requirements for Term assurances are described in CMI Term assurances data July 2019.
-
The Committee has contacted known providers of Whole of life policies (both Underwritten and “Guaranteed acceptance”) for the years 2011-2018, to gauge their willingness and ability to submit data. This document sets out more details. We hope to be able to initiate data collection early in 2020.
Methodology and Results
Contributing offices receive results in respect of the business for which they have submitted data. Aggregate ‘all offices’ results are also produced.
The latest all-offices results that have been issued are:
- Term assurances for 2015-2018 are described in Working Paper 132; and
- Endowment and Whole of Life assurances for 2007-2010 are described in Working Paper 75.
These results are each available in spreadsheets alongside the relevant paper. Each working paper contains commentary on the data, the methodology used in the results and commentary on the results.
Mortality and critical illness tables
The “08” Series assurances tables were issued alongside Working Paper 94 comprising accelerated critical illness tables based on experience in the years 2007-2010 and term mortality tables based on the corresponding dataset.
Earlier tables are available under the life office mortality investigation and the critical illness investigation.

Data Science in Banking - Opportunities and Risks
