Reserving is one of the actuarial core functions, along with pricing and capital modelling. Addactis focus on selecting the right reserving method, among four universally known and mainly used methods: Chain-Ladder, Bornhuetter-Ferguson, Average Cost and De Vylder.

While many insurance companies did not use inflation hypotheses in their reserving process until recently, the current inflation rates estimated by companies – of about 7 % – question habits. Some companies even add extra reserves to anticipate future «inflation-linked losses». The need to integrate it in the technical provisions becomes a factor in the solvency of companies, so now the question becomes the «how». 

The full impact of IFRS 17 will be felt for a long time, partly because KPIs and metrics will change. There are various approaches to mastering the associated challenges. In the video, Addactis' experts discuss the current status of implementation and give advice on how best to proceed.
