PART SUPER-HERO. PART FORTUNE-TELLER. PART TRUSTED ADVISOR.
ACTUARIES ARE EXPERTS IN:
• Evaluating the likelihood of future events—using numbers, not crystal balls.
• Designing creative ways to reduce the likelihood of undesirable events.
• Decreasing the impact of undesirable events that do occur.

WHAT DO ACTUARIES DO?
WE MANAGE RISK
• Actuaries use a combination of strong analytical skills, business knowledge, and understanding of human behavior to manage today's complex risks facing our society.

WHAT DOES RISK HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

THE FUTURE IS UNCERTAIN AND FULL OF RISK.
WHAT IS RISK?
• Risk is the chance that an undesirable event will occur, but risk is also opportunity. That's where we come in.

BACKGROUND:• ABC Insurance Company
insures 1,000 eighteen year old drivers.
• Assume 300 of the 1,000 have accidents within a year.
• Assume the average repair cost for each accident is $500.
AUTO PRICING 101
QUESTION: WHAT IS THE
MINIMUM PREMIUM THAT
ABC SHOULD CHARGE AN
18-YEAR OLD FOR A 1-
YEAR CAR INSURANCE
POLICY?
![Page 9: HOW ACTUARIES SEE THE WORLD](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812c32550346895d90b5ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

SOLUTION:• At a minimum, the total
premiums collected must equal the total cost of the accidents.
• Estimated cost of the accidents: 300 × $500 = $150,000
• Minimum premium for each driver: $150,000 ÷ 1,000 = $150
AUTO PRICING 101
CHALLENGE: SHOULD
ABC CHARGE MORE
THAN THIS PREMIUM? IF
SO, WHY?

BACKGROUND:• Assume 400 of the drivers
are males and 600 are females.
• Assume 200 out of 300 of accidents will involve males, and the remaining 100 accidents will involve females.
AUTO PRICING 101
QUESTION: WHAT
PREMIUM SHOULD BE
CHARGED FOR THE
MALES AND THE
FEMALES? SHOULD IT
BE THE SAME?

SOLUTION:• Total males’ premium:
200 accidents × $500 per accident = $100,000
• Each male’s premium: $100,000 ÷ 400
males = $250• Total females’ premium:
100 accidents × $500 per accident = $50,000
• Each female’s premium: $50,000 ÷ 600
females = $83.33
THE MALE’S PREMIUM
SHOULD BE THREE
TIMES THE FEMALE’S
PREMIUMS!
