AFIR-ERM Webinar | 25 June 2026 | 8:00 AM EDT

Join us for a webinar on Adaptability to the Chinese Market of Longevity Risk Reinsurance Solutions, featuring an in-depth exploration of an innovative structure: the Index-Based Stop-Loss (IBSL).

The session will deconstruct the two-layer IBSL mechanism. The first layer addresses realised losses during the term using observed mortality experience, while the second layer provides a model-based lump-sum buyout of remaining liabilities at maturity, enabling a clean exit. Together with an integrated stop-loss feature (similar to a call spread), this structure allows insurers to transfer extreme tail risk efficiently, improving capital efficiency and reducing transaction costs through a transparent, index-based design.

The discussion will then turn to practical implementation in China, focusing on key localisation challenges such as data gaps, basis risk, and regulatory uncertainty. A pragmatic three-phase roadmap will be presented:

1)development of a standardised “China Longevity Index”
2)pilot programmes within a regulatory sandbox
3)scaling of product innovation

This session will provide actionable insights for strategic risk and capital management.

Webinar Tomorrow| 10 June 2026

Join us tomorrow in our webinar on: How Actuaries are Leading the Way in Sustainable Insurance: Lessons from Emerging Markets.

Emerging markets are at the forefront of innovation in sustainable insurance, with actuaries playing a central role in shaping this evolution. From parametric covers protecting Kenyan herders, to sovereign catastrophe bonds in Mexico, to ESG and climate-risk integration across African and Asian insurers - these markets are generating new models for climate resilience and financial inclusion. Drawing on case studies from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America this session will examine the expanding remit of the profession in addressing some of society's most pressing challenges.

Theme: Actuarial Intelligence: Where Ethics Meets Expertise

📅 Submission deadline: 6 November 2026

The actuarial profession has always stood at the intersection of rigorous analysis and human purpose. Today, that intersection is more critical than ever. As AI reshapes industries at a breathtaking pace, actuaries face a defining question: how do we harness the power of algorithms while keeping humans at the centre of everything we do? That's the challenge — and the opportunity — at the heart of the 3rd Joint Colloquium of the IAA Sections (JoCo), hosted by the IAA Sections and the Institut Luxembourgeois des Actuaires - ILAC.

📍Luxembourg · 🗓️ 19–21 May 2027

We invite actuaries, data scientists, and academics to submit abstracts on topics that shape our profession in an AI-driven world, including:
→ Ethical AI and algorithmic fairness
→ Reducing protection gaps with AI-based solutions
→ Navigating regulatory complexity
→ Expert judgement in the age of machine learning
→ The evolving societal role of actuaries

This is your platform to contribute rigorous research, compelling case studies, and fresh perspectives that will define the future of our field.
