Drivers of Change: Uncover the Key Factors Behind Change in Ultimates
Understanding what’s driving changes in your reserve estimates is critical for effective decision-making—but manual analysis can be time-consuming and complex. Join us for an in-depth webinar on Drivers of Change, a powerful feature within Arius software, designed to automate and streamline this process.
This session will demonstrate how to customize a Drivers of Change analysis and quantify the change in ultimates due to the change in data vs the change in actuarial assumptions, to help you more effectively evaluate what is causing the change in reprojected ultimates. We’ll explore:
- Ways in which to track your key assumptions within Arius
- Key insights the tool provides to improve management diagnostics and reporting
- Real-world examples of how insurers and actuaries are using this feature to enhance decision-making
Whether you’re an actuary, risk manager, or finance professional, this webinar will provide valuable insights into how Arius software can simplify your reserve analysis and help you stay ahead of emerging trends.
