Numerix Webinar Series
Rethinking VA & EIA Product Designs
To Better Manage Investment Risks
The financial turmoil of past years had lead insurance companies to re-examine the investment risk within their Variable Annuity (VA) and Equity-Indexed Annuity (EIA) products in order to better control their risk profiles. Various strategies are often used to reduce or control these investment risks, with the strategies being implemented at the underlying fund level during the product design stage rather than after product issuance. But many practitioners question whether these new product designs are more effective at reducing risk than traditional hedging and risk management strategies.
Join Numerix on Wednesday, May 22nd at 10:00 am EST as Ghali Boukfaoui, Insurance Product Specialist, Client Solutions Group, discusses the most prominent risk-managed product design strategies from the perspective of modeling challenges, practical results and technology considerations.
Mr. Boukfaoui will examine and compare the following strategies:
- Derivative overlay strategies
- Target volatility allocation
- Risk-return optimization (CAPM-like allocations)
Attendance is complimentary, Registration is required.
Space is limited, reserve your seat today!
