Prof. Ermanno Pitacco passed away

 

Today the sad news reached us that Prof. Ermanno Pitacco passed away.

For many, many years he was an active member and well respected colleague in the AAE Education Committee. His contribution to the development of the actuarial profession not only in Italy but also in Europe was significant. We will always remember his open-minded kindness.

Our hearts go out to his family and friends and we wish them all the best in dealing with this tremendous loss.

ECA 2022: Registration is open!

On 2 and 3 June 2022, the Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE) will hold the 4th European Congress of Actuaries (ECA 2022) in Madrid, Spain.

In total, more than 250 experts and executives from Europe and beyond are expected to join next year’s congress. Given the remote experience of the Corona pandemic in the past one and a half years, the ECA will surely be an excellent opportunity to again meet with many peers in the European community of actuaries.

This continental two-day event will present an exciting congress program with well-known keynote speakers and experts from all over Europe that will present the full scope of actuarial subject areas.

EIOPA: updated technical methodology documentation for RFR term structures for Solvency II

EIOPA has today published an update of the technical documentation of the methodology to derive the risk-free interest rate term structures (see here). The update relates to changes of the financial instruments used to derive the risk-free interest rates to reflect market developments, and is in line with the announcement of 1 July 2016 (see here). EIOPA decided not to change the financial instruments to derive the risk-free interest rates for the Swiss franc.

EIOPA also updated one of the output files in the end-November 2016 RFR monthly publication. The file “EIOPA_RFR_20161130_VA_portfolios” was replaced in line with the update of representative portfolios of September 2016. Part of the end-November RFR was based on the portfolio before this update. This has had no impact on the published volatility adjustments. Also the risk-free interest rates and the fundamental spreads were not affected.
