How Do You Set Your Rates? International Societies Join Forces For Survey

Posted on 12 July 2010 | Leave a comment

The Casualty Actuarial Society, The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and the Institute of Actuaries of Australia have joined forces to produce a global ratemaking survey.

The goal of the survey is to gain a better understanding of current property/casualty ratemaking practices, techniques and skills throughout the insurance community.

They are keenly interested in responses from actuaries with experience in property/casualty ratemaking, and also  encourage you to share the attached survey with your non-actuarial colleagues involved in the pricing decision-making at your firm.
