They are supposed to reproduce the behavior of the insured in terms of mortality. These tables had a definite impact on life insurance product prices, provisioning and profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Six years after the introduction of these new tables, the Integr-All actuarial firm, based in Cameroon, studied the portfolio of a company in the CEMAC zone and assessed the differences and their impact on the solvency of the company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2012 CIMA life tables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Started in 2009, the team that built these life tables, from the portfolios of insurance policyholders in the CIMA zone, encountered a severe problem of heterogeneity between countries and zones (UMEAO \/ CEMAC).<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Integr-All also noted that misrepresentation of age could have a significant impact on the representativeness of the reality of mortality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The portfolio under review included contracts from 1995 to 2017, over 22 years, containing 199,000 policyholders and 936 deaths. Due to the anomalies observed (duplicates, aberrant ages, &#8230;), 20% of the portfolio was excluded. The portfolio has been reduced by 29% because of &#8220;false duplicates&#8221;: these are policyholders who have several contracts and are present several times in the portfolio (savings contract, borrower contract, &#8230;), sometimes with names slightly different (typos, order of names, &#8230;) and often for overlapping periods. They were kept on a line, homogeneous in terms of insurance period (and independent of the guarantee subscribed).<\/p>\n<p>In the end, after weeks of corrections (sometimes manual) of the portfolio, the residual portfolio is composed of 101,000 policyholders and 855 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into account the contractual presence of each insured (&#8220;risk exposures&#8221; over the observation period), the selected portfolio represents a total exposure of 743,000 person-years. Women accounted for 46% of the workforce.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-462890 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.financialafrik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/EE7111CD-D463-40A7-9C5F-43C3972EACF0-600x259-300x130.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/EE7111CD-D463-40A7-9C5F-43C3972EACF0-600x259-300x130.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/EE7111CD-D463-40A7-9C5F-43C3972EACF0-600x259.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Build experience tables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To build these life tables of experience, two methods were used (Hoem and Kaplan Meier)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-462891 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.financialafrik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/05D0DC23-C582-4CA8-9CC6-FE56C8A4FA27-600x550-300x275.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/05D0DC23-C582-4CA8-9CC6-FE56C8A4FA27-600x550-300x275.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/05D0DC23-C582-4CA8-9CC6-FE56C8A4FA27-600x550.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/05D0DC23-C582-4CA8-9CC6-FE56C8A4FA27-600x550-458x420.jpeg 458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The calculated crude rates have been adjusted by different models (Thatcher, Makeham, Brass, &#8230;).

The graphical and theoretical verifications (R\u00b2, Fisher&#8217;s Test, &#8230;) show that the Brass model with the CIMA table as the reference table best fits the raw rates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-462892 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.financialafrik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/CF56DB6C-CBBC-4509-9A19-ACE61F289846-600x509-300x255.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"435\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/CF56DB6C-CBBC-4509-9A19-ACE61F289846-600x509-300x255.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/CF56DB6C-CBBC-4509-9A19-ACE61F289846-600x509.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/CF56DB6C-CBBC-4509-9A19-ACE61F289846-600x509-495x420.jpeg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comparison with the CIMA tables &#8211; tariff impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Figure 3 above, we see that the CIMA tables are outside the confidence interval, mainly for men. The portfolio insured by this company therefore has a mortality significantly lower than the CIMA tables. Without &#8220;cleaning&#8221; our initial portfolio, the gap between CIMA table and experience table would have been twice as important.<\/p>\n<p>Using the built-experience tables would reduce tariffs by as much as 70% (death contracts). Mixed contracts are much less affected (depending on the relationship between life and death guarantees). The rare life annuity contracts would be rather under-priced.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the current contracts of this insurer, priced with the CIMA table, have comfortable technical margins. This difference is reproduced on the mathematical reserves. And makes the solvency margin of 5% of the mathematical reserves little significant compared to the technical gains already provisioned by the table gap.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisors should insist on better statistical and actuarial monitoring of mortality, which can have a much greater impact on the solvency of the company than the margin currently requested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The construction of mortality tables on a particular portfolio, devoting much effort to obtain corrected data, has confirmed to the insurance company that the deaths recorded are 50% to 70% lower than those projected. (expected) by the CIMA tables.<\/p>\n<p>This study highlights the usefulness of the technical monitoring of the products, the deferred profitability contained in the mathematical reserves (good news for the shareholders), the over-solvency for this insurer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CIMA [2012], Regulation No. 0006 \/ CIMA \/ PCMA \/ PCE \/ 2012.<\/p>\n<p>CIMA [2012], Note on the preparation of the new life tables, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Gubry F., Gubry P.
