Actuarial modelling of cashflows uses mathematical and statistical techniques to project the future cashflows of an insurance company, pension fund, or other financial institution. These models assess the potential impact of various factors, such as changes to interest rates or mortality rates, on the organization's financial position. By analysing projected cashflows, actuaries determine the adequacy of reserves, evaluate the risk associated with the organization's operations, and develop strategies to manage risk. The models also help in decision-making related to pricing, capital management, and investment strategies.
Prophet / FIS Model Developer
Accurate asset / liability projections are crucial to the success of any insurance or financial services company – but they are not the only requirement for actuarial software. To keep pace with the dynamic insurance industry, such a system must also handle multiple insurance-related calculations, and be integrated with other key business software. It must also be able to make these projections in every country where you do business. This is where the FIS Insurance Risk Suite (formerly Prophet) can help. We help our clients by providing them services that enable them to develop models that accurately reflect their business needs. We also help them analyze and interpret their data, and provide guidance and advice on best practices for model development. We also provide access to a wide range of resources, such as educational materials and research, to help our clients stay informed and up-to-date on the latest developments in the field.
Python
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it perfect for Rapid Application Development, and use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components. Python's simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. We help our clients by using Python to build predictive models that can help identify risk factors, calculate insurance premiums, and identify trends in data. Python can also be used to develop custom software solutions to automate complex actuarial processes.
R (programming language)
R is a programming language for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Core Team and the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. R is widely used in data science by statisticians and data miners for data analysis and the development of statistical software. R is one of the most comprehensive statistical programming languages available, capable of handling everything from data manipulation and visualization to statistical analysis. R libraries are capable of complex statistical work, such as implementing linear and nonlinear modelling, spatial and time-series analysis, classification, classical statistical tests and more. We help our clients by utilizing the power of R to analyze large data sets and generating meaningful insights and using R to create predictive models, which help our clients make informed decisions, identify trends, and quantify risk.
