The working party has been created to assist professionals (actuaries as well as other professionals) employed in life insurance business in understanding the meaning of Risk Appetite, how it is determined and its application. A key aim will be to suggest the possible ways it can enhance value for different stakeholders.

  • How risk appetite is defined and what does it mean to the different insurers
  • Importance of risk appetite for the business of life insurance companies and how risk appetite links with return and stakeholder value creation
  • Application of risk appetite by life insurers including translation to more operational and granular constraints
  • Risk appetite in the context of regulations including Solvency II
