A Short Course on Fundamental Actuarial Practice

Invited Instructor : Professor Thomas Y.S. Lee, ASA, PhD.

                                   University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.

Actuarial practice involves the application of quantitative, economic and financial models and analysis to long term financial management particularly in life insurance, property & casualty insurance, health insurance, and retirement planning as well as in other financial services. The purpose of this short course is to provide an introduction to the fundamental of actuarial practice with a focus on the actuarial control cycle. This overall aim of the Actuarial Control Cycle is for you to understand the basic principles underlying the actuarial management of financial products, services, and schemes across commercial, government and other environments, so that you will be able to apply those principles to a wide range of problems and issues that you may encounter in professional practice.

The emphasis of the course is on application. The course draws examples from actuarial practice and discusses implications for life insurance, annuities, credit insurance, retirement planning,  and other areas where actuaries are involved in product design, pricing, reserving, investment and surplus management. Through a number of case studies and exercise, we also aim to help the students develop the use of the necessary combination of judgment, analytical and modeling skills to provide recommendations for complex situations.

The materials cover in this short course corresponds to part of the materials cover by Fundamental of Actuarial Practice of the professional examination offer by the Society of Actuaries.

The course contains a mixture of case discussions and lectures by the instructor. The lectures will present an actuarial methodology (e.g., The Control Cycle) helpful in the analysis of various aspects of fundamental actuarial practice. The cases are chosen to illustrate the application of the methodology as well as to demonstrate their limitations. The challenge to the students is to appreciate these limitations but still use the insight generated from these models to analyze a wide range of issues in actuarial practice. Study questions on each case should serve as a starting point and the students are encourages to introduce additional issues.

PS:

1.  Once you arrive at the INCHEON INT. airport,  just Before or after the Enterance process, there are 2 or 3 complementary free PHONE to Seoul and CP.

  Please call me after you arrive at the INCHEON INT. airport by any free telephone.

                   You can make a phone call to (in Korea) 02-****-**** my home or my CP 01*-****-****.

2.  You can use ATM to make about US$20- in Korean curruncy =  KRW20,000- and then) for the bus use etc, so go down to the Transportation Center (B1 floor) to do so.

3.   I recommend you take the Airport Limousine (Standard) bus  6009 (Airport - Garak Market Station) at 1st Floor 5A or 11B at Incheon Int. Airport.

The first stop of 6009  is GuBanpo where you took the bus before.  (The 2nd stop of 6009  is Gangnam Express terminal.)

4. In any case of help, just show the following Korean statement  to anyone around:  Would you call to my friend *** ?

<전화 한 통화 부탁드립니다. CP 01*-****-****. 친구입니다. with US$1>

       When we meet, I will drive you to hotel nearby. There is a couple of subway stations to SKKU downtown campus and SKKU Science campus.
