The introduction of mortality investigation of China’s Life  insurance industry      Zhan, Zhaolan  Member of standing committee of China Association of Actuaries        April, 2012   

History and development of mainland China’s mortality investigation  There  were  two  nation‐wide  mortality  investigations  based  upon  assured  lives  experience  in  mainland  China.  The  first  one  lasted  for  nearly  four  years  from  year  1992 to year 1995 and ended up with the construction of the first standard life table  of  mainland  China,  China  Life  Table  (1990‐1993).  This  table  was  dictated  by  China’s  insurance  regulatory  authority  as  the  basis  of  the  pricing  of  life  insurance  products  and  the  evaluation  of  their  statutory  reserve.  The  second  one  was  finished  on  November, 2005, and constructed China Life Table (2000‐2003), the second standard  life table based on assured lives. China Life Table (2000‐2003) was dictated by China’s  insurance regulatory authority as the basis of evaluation of statutory reserve, but not  the  pricing;  life  insurers  were  allowed  to  pricing  their  products  with  their  own  experience  data.  Based  on  the  first  two  mortality  investigations  mentioned  above,  the industry makes it a rule to make a mortality investigation every ten years.    The  investigations  into  mortality  were  all  organized  by  China’s  insurance  regulatory  authority before year 2007. Then China Association of Actuaries (CAA) took over the  responsibility of the mortality investigations after its foundation in 2007. Accordingly,  Mortality Investigation Office (MIO) was established under CAA on 2011‐7‐18.   

Profile of MIO  MIO is a standing office under CAA. Currently its members include the specialists of  experience  analysis  from  China  Insurance  Regulatory  Commission  (CIRC),  China‐Re  Life  and  6  other  major  players  in  China’s  life  insurance  market.  For  each  project  of  MIO, the office coordinates the members of CAA from different insurance companies  and two full‐time staffs deal with the daily works.    The  major  duties  of  MIO  include  investigating  into  the  experience  data,  preparing  and amending standard life tables and morbidity tables, publishing relevant working  paper,  issuing  related  journals  and  organizing  relevant  seminars.  MIO  major  operations are specified as follows:     

z Investigating into mortality and morbidity  MIO  is  responsible  for  the  periodic  investigations  into  mortality  (life  and  annuity),  morbidity  for  critical  illness  and  the  incident  rate  of  accidental  death;  related  standard tables are also prepared.     z Undertaking relevant researches  9 Organizing the academic exchange on methods, techniques and practices of data  analysis, periodically or ad hoc.  9 Working with other organizations on the projects covering demographic statistics,  medical  investigation,  investment  data  analysis  and  macro‐economics  data  analysis with the special skills as an actuarial institute.  9 Publishing  relevant  research  findings,  working  papers,  journals  and  books;  translating relevant foreign publications as well.  9 Providing  the  platform  to  share  information  and  findings  with  periodical  meetings, website and other media resources.    z International exchange  MIO  is  trying  to  connect  with  similar  international  working  groups  to  strengthen  academic exchange.     

Current projects of MIO  MIO is preparing the standard table of critical illness morbidity nowadays.    z The background of the project  Recently China’s life insurance industry is focusing on the restructure of the product  line  and  reaches  a  consensus  to  promote  protection  products.  In  China,  as  well  as  some other countries, critical illness products are the most important business line  among protection products. The critical illness provisions in China today are on their  way  to  be  well  specified;  however,  there  is  still  no  standard  morbidity  table  for  pricing and evaluation. MIO is preparing this table now.    z The goal of the project includes:  9 Investigating  into  the  morbidity  experience  of  critical  illness  products  with  acceleration basis and stand‐alone basis  9 Constructing the morbidity tables for acceleration critical illness and stand‐alone  critical  illness;  these  tables  will  be  used  for  pricing  and  evaluating  statutory  reserves  9 Issuing the final report of the project    z Steps of the project  9 Establish the task force  9 Define the strategy of the project  9 Pre‐research and preparation   

9 Define the feature and the dimensionality of the tables and standards for data  9 Data collection and verification  9 Constructing the standard tables  9 Collecting feedbacks, opinions and questions  9 Publishing the final tables    z The progress today    The project was launched on October, 2011 and from then on several meetings were  held to discuss the organization, participants, data, relevant techniques, time table,  budget and so on. Today, the project is at its stage of pre‐research. The first five steps  are expected to be finished before June, 2012 and then the sixth steps to be finished  before January, 2013. The whole project will ends by May, 2013.    Besides  the  critical  illness  morbidity  investigations  introduced  above,  MIO  also  contributes but not limited to the following topics:  z Lapse rate experience analysis, experience study on days of hospitalization stays,  frequency of outpatient treatment, expense analysis and investment analysis.  z The research on constructing of the table of disability by employment injury and  the table of LTC.  z The experience study of short term accident policies on their morbidity or loss  ratio.
