Comparing Actuarial Pricing Processes around the Globe
The foundation of actuarial knowledge and techniques may be universal, but the pricing processes used in practices are significantly different around the globe. In this session, we will discuss reasons for the differences in pricing processes between US, Canadian, European, and Japanese markets. These differences shape team structure and required actuarial skillsets. Explore how pricing is done in other countries and markets.
➡️ Compare and contrast pricing processes across global markets.
➡️ Map principles and terminology across geographies.
➡️ Describe the differences in required actuarial pricing skillsets across geographies.
