• “New Policies Issued” in Group Insurance and Pensions represent the number of groups (ie: companies). For groups or companies with multiple insurers, duplication of records for such cases have been accounted for. In the case of Workman’s Saving’s Group Medical and Disability, the number of policies reflect each individual insured.

• Definitions of New Business Amount is as follows: Individual Life, Group Life - Basic amount of death benefit, Individual Annuity - Funds accumulated at the time of annuitization, Group Pension and Workman’s Saving’s plan - Amount of first premium payment, Group Medical - Daily indemnity, Group Disability - Monthly indemnity

2. History of Individual Protection Products

• The general trend for Death Benefit within the Protection Business over the past 10 years shows a decrease in the number of new policies issued as well as the sum of amounts insured.

• The sums of amounts insured for medical and cancer protection show a steady decline while the number of new polices issued steadily increased. This is due to insurers reducing the amount of the death benefit for medical and cancer protection.

9. Summary of Disclosed Embedded Values in Japan

The impact of the Lehman Shock which hit the World Markets vary by company due to each company’s Asset and Liability risk profile, and the level of sophistication of the company's ERM framework.

Almost all companies included review opinions issued by actuarial consulting firms. One company had its auditor’s opinion on an agreed upon basis.

10. Strategies and Actions taken by the Life Insurance Industry

The global financial crisis led to severe equity market declines and decreased consumer confidence in Japan, although Japan had less exposure to the U.S subprime security devaluation which initiated the crisis and on the whole affected less severely than the U.S. and Europe. Nevertheless the crisis environment contributed to Yamato Life’s collapse and negative policyholder reactions to some Japanese subsidiaries of foreign insurers.

Most of the Life Insurers developed mid-term (3 to 4-year) business plans expecting that the Japanese economy’s recovery will be slow and many uncertain elements will continue to exist.

Many companies plan to enhance existing risk management processes. Furthermore, some companies plan to implement Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), especially for quantifying market risk and strengthening their capital positions.

Many CEOs were cited to further strengthen existing traditional marketing channels, as well as expand partnerships with banks to include bank assurance. Additionally, they plan to increase exposure through Internet-based sales methods.

In terms of product varieties sold, due to the aging population of Japan, there is increased demand for annuity, medical, and nursing care products. This results in the increased demand for such products leading to a reduction in demand for death benefit protection products.

A few major Japanese Mutual Life Insurance companies have started to enter into Asian markets either by the means of acquisition or joint ventures.

Many companies discontinued the selling of variable annuity contracts with minimum guarantees (GMXB) due to the increased risk presented by the current economic conditions.

11. Regulatory Changes as a result of the Financial Crisis

Following the global financial crisis (Q3 of 2008) and collapse of Yamato Life (October 2008), Japanese regulator, Financial Service Agency (FSA), announced major changes in the Solvency Margin Regulation on August 28, 2009.

Various risk factors will be modified to reflect the most recent market data.

The Credibility level will be increased from 90% to 95%.

Diversification effects (Correlation factors) must reflect a company’s own asset portfolio.

Limitations on certain types of “soft capital” (e.g. excess reserves, DTA, sub debt) will be introduced in solvency ratio calculations, dramatically reducing ratios across the industry.

An Appointed actuary must review and certify the Solvency margin calculation.

The official implementation of the changes will be effective from FY2011. There will be a trial period of the new regulation in parallel to the existing regulation in FY2010.

The mid term goal is the implementation of the “Economic Value” based risk management, as well as “Economic Value” based Asset Liability Management (ALM).

12. Implications to Actuarial Consulting

Introduction of new standards will lead to increased opportunities of IFRS Phase 2 and Solvency II implementation and advisory type engagements for consulting and Audit firms.

New challenges will be presented by the ERM implementation (including Economic capital model design and development), as well as its review/audit procedures.

Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV) will gradually become the reporting standard used for EV disclosures in the Japanese financial industry.

Market entry advisory type engagements will increase in developing markets of Asia.

More M&A may occur as it did in the Non-Life insurance industry.

Importance of “Peer Review” advisory type engagements have been steadily increasing as a result of the tightening of regulations.

Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare

• Mitigating the shock of the Global Financial CrisisThe Ministry granted pension funds and sponsoring employers more time to allow funding levels to return to target levels.

• Improvement of DCBoth matching contribution and easing the requirement for a lump sum payment upon withdrawal may be realized in the coming regular session of the Diet.

Financial Service Agency (FSA)

On December 11, 2009, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) announced that the voluntary application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) is admitted in Japan, starting from the fiscal year ending on or after March 31, 2010.

Reduction of Risks

To stabilize surplus, the assumed interest rate will be reduced and allocation to equities will be diminished.

Reduction of Pension Obligations

• Shift to DC

• Reduction of interest rate for pensioners

• Shift from an Employees’ Pension Fund to a Defined Benefit Corporate Pension Plan

Transition from Qualified Pension

The Qualified Pension Plan is scheduled to be abolished on March 31, 2012. Assess the transition to other plans such as Defined Benefit Corporate Pensions or Defined Contribution Pensions.

9. The strategies and actions taken by life insurance industry

Life insurers can be broadly split into three “strategic” groups.

Those (mostly larger) life insurers, that offer a full range insurance and investment products. These have mostly evolved into large insurance and funds management groups. These are largely evolving into specialist insurance product businesses (operating via the life insurer) and investment product businesses (with increasing business written outside the life insurer in mutual funds etc).

• Although the group typically offers combined insurance and investment products to the market.

Specialist insurance providers. Some providing wholesale insurance support to large industry based retirement savings funds. Australia has historically had low basic life insurance penetration. This is changing and new business growth in basic life insurance (term life, disability, critical illness) is significant. A current focus is on automatic underwriting and straight through (electronic) processing to reduce barriers to new business execution and costs.

Reinsurers supporting both groups above.

10. Any regulatory changes taking place?

A review of capital requirements is underway, but principally concerned with minor refinements, alignment of requirements between life and P&C insurance, and some incremental improvements from lessons from the GFC.

Broader financial services sector reforms, including rules around linking executive remuneration to risk management. These are principally focused on the banking sector, but are being applied more broadly, including to life insurers.

Regulation of various products (especially investment and retirement savings products) is subject to government review, particularly focusing on issues such as provision of advice, paying for commissions versus charging of “financial planning fees”, disclosure requirements and simplification.

A broad based tax review is being undertaken by government that has the potential to impact a range of investment and retirement products in Australia.

Regulation to help facilitate product rationalisation is being developed.

11. What do all those mean to actuarial consulting market

Change (regulations, industry consolidation etc) is raising short term opportunities.

However, the future with reducing numbers of insurers in the market (post

consolidation), the outlook is less clear:

• Fewer insurers means fewer clients;

• However, bigger clients tend to spend more on accessing external best practice etc

• The marketing skills needed to be successful with large clients are different to small

clients!

13. Regulatory changes for pension funds

Level of contributions that qualify for tax concessions halved.

Changes to salary base on which compulsory contributions are based.

3 major reviews in progress

• Ripoll enquiry into regulation of financial planning industry and protecting members

• Cooper Review of governance, efficiency and simplicity, structure

• Henry Review of Taxation

Anti money laundering and counter terrorism controls tightened.

IASB - Australia follows lead from IASB.

14. Implications to Actuarial Consulting

Background - Australia is mainly a defined contribution industry with legacy defined benefit funds

Winding up small defined benefit funds

There is a belief in Australia that “bigger is better”. Opportunity to advise on fund mergers.

As funds grow larger there is an increasing need for advice on best governance practices.

As funds grow larger and evolve to being financial institutions there are opportunities for strategy and risk management consulting.

The defined contribution environment places the responsibility for adequate financial resources in retirement on the member. Consulting opportunities exist for assisting members plan for their retirement (eg through web based calculators), and opportunities exist for assisting Trustees on product development.

Increasing awareness of longevity risk provides consulting opportunities.

Year 2002 the ratio of medical payment covered by individual health insurance to total individual medical payment

Source: OECD Health DATA 2004

• The government has heavier and heavier burden on the medical payment due to the increase of aging population in China.

• Compared with other countries, we noticed that the ratio of medical payment covered by individual health insurance to total individual medical payment is relatively lower in China.

• The life insurance industry has developed rapidly for the past few years. However the ratio of health premium is still only 6.9% of the total life insurance premium in year 2008.

• The individual health premium has increased much these years, which shows that people has also realised the deficiency of the medical welfare from government and the importance of supplementary medical protection from individual insurance.

• The regulator encourages the insurer to invest in the medical organization and also encourage the insurer to develop some health products to large rural population in China.

8. The strategies and actions taken by life insurance industry

Product Switching Strategy - from Traditional or conventional life to Unit Link or

Investment type of product

Develop Multi Chanel Distribution: replacing the Fixed Cost type of expenses to be

Variable Cost

Bancassurance and Alternative Distribution are most favorable Sales Channel, while

Agency is transformed from Tied Agency to General Agency

Regulator implement Risk Based Capital requirement to assess the financial

solvency for Insurance Company

Annuity Product is still avoided by insurers due to uncertainty of economic condition

9. Any regulatory changes taking place?

Draft of Revised Insurance Law is being prepared; substance of changes are mainly

on strengthening the supervision role, tightening monitoring control and law

enforcement of violation, misconduct and negligence

In-conjunction with Society of Actuary to develop Standard Practice for in-house

10. What do all those mean to actuarial consulting market

Actuarial Consulting has to upgrade the knowledge and competency, especially on

Insurance business

Procedures in order to match with the progress of Standard Practice that made by

Society of Actuary

Actuarial Consulting (for Life Insurance) should consider areas of specific expertise

to focus on, e.g. Life, Accident & Health, Investment Linked, Annuity etc.

14. Current Update in Pension Fund Industry

Pension Fund Law is being revised; strengthening supervisory role, less procedure on pension fund set-up, broader range of products (to include lump-sum severance program), broader definition of Financial Institution Pension Fund (to include more Financial Institution)

Working together with Society of Actuary and Accounting Standard Board to anticipate the implementation of IFRS on Pension Fund

A lump-sum defined benefit severance program (including payment upon retirement) required under Labor Law has created competition with pension fund product (currently can only fund for annuity-payment pension program)

Mandatory Severance Program in Labor Law also creates tight competition between Pension Fund and Life Insurance companies which can offer funding vehicle for the program.

Introduction of Risk Management in pension fund; assessment of financial capability and solvency of pension fund using risk-based measurement.

8. The strategies and actions taken by life insurance industry

The Korean economy in 2009 has continued to suffer from the global economic crisis.

In common with other global stock exchanges, the Korean main index KOSPI fell to

the year’s lowest level in October 2008, down to 1,241 on October 10 from a 52-week

high of 2,085.

Customer needs for variable products such as VUL and variable annuity decreased in

experiencing massive loss. In that situation, marketing strategies for insurance

companies are more focused on protection type products than savings type products.

9. Any regulatory changes taking place?

Introduction to Risk Based Capital (RBC) system

• Risk Based Capital is effective from April 1, 2009, however, company can choose either existing solvency regulation or RBC until March, 2011 which is favorable to the company.

• Risk Based Capital system is a factor based system and a refinement of existing solvency regulation with considering 5 major risks in insurance companies: insurance risk, interest risk, credit risk, market risk and operational risk.

Introduction to Cash Flow Pricing method

• Cash flow pricing method will be used in pricing insurance products since April 2010.

• Current pricing method using commutation functions use only 3 major factors: risk rate, interest rate and expense ratio in pricing insurance product. Cash flow pricing method use not only current 3 major factors but also other factors which affect cash flow such as lapse rate.

• Since cash flow pricing method enables insurance companies to address economic dynamics in insurance product pricing, new method is better for current fast-changing environment.

5. The strategies and actions taken by life insurance industry

There have been no banks or insurance companies failure related to the global financial crisis as the Thai property market was not as over valued.

The lessons of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and the structural changes that have taken place since then may have minimized the impact of this financial crisis.

The main impact of GFC is on the investment income of insurance companies where they have recorded significant losses in their equity portfolios and reduction in income from fixed interests investment.

The challenges they face are:

• Pricing of new products – when and how the products should be repriced to adapt to the new world

• In force products – to the extent that products are not adequately matched, the decline in yields have created and interest rate gap between liability requirements and what assets can deliver today

Page 127: ACA Conference Gatwick February 4, 2010 · ACA Conference Gatwick February 4, 2010. 4 Country: Japan Notes for compiling information:

127

6. Any regulatory changes taking place?

The regulator is concerned about the volatility of equity investment and its impact on

the financial position of the insurance companies.

A discussion draft has been circulated to the industry seeking feedback on a

proposal that places a limit on the amount of assets that can be invested in equity

depending on the level of capital adequacy.

At the same time, Risk Based Capital framework is being introduced into the industry

and will be effective from 2011.

7. What do all those mean to actuarial consulting market

Asset and Liability Management is gaining increase focus due to the global financial

crisis.

There are limited number of consulting actuaries in the local market that can

provide advice in this area.

The introduction of RBC will create more demand for actuaries in the financial

reporting area.

8. Pension System in Thailand

Pillar 1: Publicly Mandated, Publicly ManagedOld Age Pension System

Pillar 2: Publicly Mandated, Privately ManagedGovernment Pension Fund - civil servants pension planNational Pension Fund - defined mandatory contribution with define benefit (yet to be passed )

Pillar 2: Publicly Mandated, Privately ManagedProvident Fund (employer sponsored pension plan) - co-contributionRetirement Mutual Fund - private contribution with tax concessions

The pension system in Thailand at the moment is sub-optimal: There are issues with long term viability of existing unfunded defined benefits scheme in the public sector and new initiatives by the government a significant proportion of population don’t have adequate coverage

Page 130: ACA Conference Gatwick February 4, 2010 · ACA Conference Gatwick February 4, 2010. 4 Country: Japan Notes for compiling information:

130

The new funds that are setup are defined contribution so there is little need foractuaries in the liabilities valuation.

The introduction of IFRS will require the valuation of other employee liabilities.

The investment allocation is usually conservative. There maybe potential in providing asset allocation advice.

Can consulting actuaries take a leadership role in the development of a better pension system?

Closing Remarks: The financial crisis revealed weaknesses and flaws in the regulatory and risk management systems of companies. Many financial companies failed to mitigate the risks presented by the financial crisis despite having these systems. This also holds true for the Asian financial market as indicated by statistical data throughout the period. As a result, Enterprise Risk Management is now the main focus for implementation and operating efforts of insurance companies. Regulators have also tightened measures in minimum capital requirements following developments such as Solvency II in Europe. Fears of a global recession saw the need for International Cooperation in order to revive the world’s financial systems. This called for the involvement of the G20, rather than the original G8 countries. In addition to the original G8, the new G20 (19 countries and the EU) now includes additional countries, with the most number of countries coming from Asia. These additions are Australia, China, India, Indonesia and South Korea. The effect of the financial crisis on the Asian insurance industry was relatively mild with indicators revealing signs of recovery as early as 2009. With proper risk management and by bringing relevant actuarial expertise, we can ensure a thriving market for actuary consulting in the continued development of the overall Asian insurance industry.
