  • Climate Risk Reporting - undertaking research on climate risk-related practices in reporting by a range of UK insurance companies and pensions funds
  • Design of the Risk Function - to look at how we define a risk function and how does risk function define its role
  • Dynamic Two-Way Operation of a Capital Allocation Framework - providing practical guidance on how capital is allocated to support strategic and day-to-day management of insurance companies
  • Environmental Risk Reporting - building on the work of the ‘Risk Reporting’ Working Party and the ‘incentives facing UK firms to adopt early risk reporting provisions of the Revised Corporate Code
  • Emerging Risks - considering emerging risks in the core actuarial fields of insurance, pensions and investments
  • Extension Implementation Risk Reporting - examining implications for the profession arising from the FRC consultations
  • IFR - developing a method of analysing the financial performance of an insurance company in terms of the risks identified by the risk management function
  • Model Risk - this is not as well defined and established as other more traditional risks, so the identification, understanding and communication of model risk is crucial
  • Proxy Modelling - assessing the impact of methodology and design choices against a number of relevant criteria, including accuracy, speed, complexity, ease of implementation and cost
  • FRC and Risk Reporting - focus was on research into Long Term Viability Statement and Risk Culture
  • Reasons for insurance company failures - considered the lessons learnt from the failure of insurance companies, and how effective the FSA reverse stress testing requirements were in mitigating future failours
  • Risk appetite and risk limits - how to ensure top down appetite is consistent with bottom up limits
  • Risk Classification - risk terminology varies from organisation to organisation and actuaries working in different organisations may use different terms to refer to the same risk, or use the same nomenclature for completely different risks
  • Risk Culture - explores how to represent and assess risk culture and the feasibility of changing risk taking cultures at the level of a solo insurer
  • Risk Management in a Digital World - forming views and recommendations to assist actuarial practitioners in risk management considerations relating to operating in a digital world
  • Risk Measures - looking at the policy issues arising from the trend to short term investment behaviour by pension funds and life companies, lower equity holdings reflecting reduced willingness to take on risk, and procyclical investing that exacerbates market cycles
  • Risk Reporting - looked to develop proposals for enhancing our understanding of risk reporting based on the key elements, reporting to regulators, reporting to outside stakeholders, reporting for managing the business.
