As the impacts from natural catastrophes continue to rise for property owners and communities, the enhanced assessment and management of this catastrophic (CAT) risk becomes more paramount for the insurance industry. Central to this CAT risk assessment and management are the use and continued development of catastrophe models. This session will address the determination of catastrophe models fit for purpose and validation, and the ways that regulators can be thinking about this for their insurance markets from both a solvency and rate-making perspective. Existing examples of model evaluation and validation for various perils, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, will be discussed with an eye toward the continued evolution of this crucial area.
10:30 AM - 11:20 AM CT
This session provides attorneys and investigators with a foundational understanding of annuity products and the NAIC’s Model Regulation 275. Attorneys who represent state insurance regulators must often quickly learn the intricacies of various insurance products and the law that applies to those products. Annuities are especially complex and can be difficult to understand. Participants will explore annuity basics, the best interest standard, and insurer compliance practices. The session is Part Three of three sessions that serve as a prerequisite to the Annuity Suitability Workshop.
