  • One-Year Returns and the Degree of Risk

  • In the early days of actuarial science investments were selected with the emphasis on capital security, with maximum interest as a secondary consideration. In such conditions pure interest represented almost the whole of the investment return and it was natural that interest should be regarded as a stable element in actuarial calculations, while risk arose almost entirely under the mortality heading.

  • A Stochastic Approach to Actuarial Functions

  • A. H. Pollard, J. H. Pollard
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 August 2016, pp. 79-113

  • The classical approach to actuarial problems has been deterministic. That is, the assumption has been made that the number of policies in force is large, that chance fluctuations are unimportant, and that the use of mean values is adequate. The actual cost to a company of an annuity, for example, may in fact vary from nothing (if the annuitant dies immediately) to a large amount (if he lives to be a nonogenarian). On average, the cost will be ax, and for many purposes, this value is good enough.
