The Fair Value of Insurance Business-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Irwin T. Vanderhoof
Published by SpringerPublished since 2000-09-30
Insurance companies, as well as banks and thrift institutions, have traditionally reported assets and liabilities on the basis of their amortized cost, or book value.
But following the turmoil in securities markets due to highly volatile interest rate fluctuations in the 1980s and the early 1990s, and problems caused by inadequate liquidity, in the mid-1990s the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new ruling calling for financial intermediaries to report the fair, or market, value of most assets.
Called FAS 115, this new standard is the first step in the eventual change to valuing all the assets and liabilities belonging to financial intermediaries under the fair value accounting method.
Thus, these changes will pose tremendous future implications for three key business measures of a financial intermediary: Solvency: if the fair values of assets and liabilities are out-of-step, then healthy companies may report negative net worth and insolvent companies may appear to be in sound financial condition.
Reported Earnings: if the fair values of assets and liabilities are out of step, then reported earnings will not accurately represent the financial operations of the company.
Risk Management: FASB recently postponed the implementation of its new rules on accounting for the use of derivatives instruments.
However, if the final set of rules for figuring the fair value of derivatives is not carefully crafted, it may be possible that companies prudently hedging their risks are subject to penalties in their financial reports, while companies taking greater risks appear to have less volatile financial performance.
Compared to banks and other financial intermediaries, life insurance companies have the longest term and most complex liabilities, and hence the new FASB requirement poses the most severe challenges to the life insurance industry.
The lessons learned from the debate among life insurance academics and professionals about how respond to the fair value reporting rule will be instructive to their counterparts in other sectors of the insurance industry, as well as those involved with other financial institutions.
Of particular note are the two papers which comprise Part III.
The first provides examples of the fair valuing of annuity contracts, while the second offers examples of the fair valuing of term insurance products.
As the papers collected in The Fair Value of Insurance Business extend and update some of the issues treated in a previous Salomon Center conference volume, The Fair Value of Insurance Liabilities, this new volume may be viewed as a companion to the earlier book.

This report is a full assessment of Brazil’s compliance with the Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) as adopted in October 2011.
In the last few years, the Brazilian insurance industry experienced an explosive growth doubling the premium between 2005 and 2010.
Investments by the insurance sector are conservative and short term, and primarily comprised of fixed income instruments.
Profitability levels of the insurance sector have been consistent and the solvency ratio of the insurance industry has been strong.
Other financial indicators of the insurance sector also suggest resilience.

Through extensive research and a broad knowledge base on different financial institutions, we believe there are specific types of life insurance companies that offer specific types of life insurance contracts with certain beneficial features to a conservative saver.
A properly trained financial professional can use these contracts to offer a conservative saver a tremendous alternative to traditional banking methods.
Please understand that we are not actually creating a real bank for our clients or communicating that life insurance companies are the same as a bank.
Rather we are attempting to design a financial vehicle that can mimic certain banking functions in one's personal/business economy - like financing big ticket purchases and controlling where your cash flow is stored.
