Valuation of Liabilities and Distribution of Surplus: Notes, Papers and Discussion
An introductory collection for actuarial study, presenting discussions on valuing policy liabilities and how surplus funds are shared among policyholders. The material surveys methods, tables, and practical considerations used by offices and researchers, with attention to how different valuation bases affect reserves and bonuses.
The book compiles notes and papers arranged by the Institute of Actuaries Students' Society. It covers bonus reserves, mortality tables, and how the choice of valuation method influences the distribution of profits. Readers will see how loading, interest, and policy type interact to shape solvency and bonuses over time.
This edition highlights practical exercises and example calculations drawn from early research, including comparisons of premium systems, loading systems, and select loading. It also discusses quinquennial distributions and the mathematics behind interim and period bonuses, all with the aim of giving a clear view of surplus, reserves, and bonuses for different office policies.
Ideal for readers of actuarial theory and practice, and for students needing a practical introduction to surplus distribution and policy valuation.
