AG38: Technical Details
• “r” = ratio to indicate pre-funding level
• AG38 Reserve = r*Ax + (1-r)*tVx
• After some algebra = Ax - (1-r)*äx
• All creativity centers around “r”

Calculation of “r”
• Numerator = excess payments (amount in shadow account)
• Denominator = assuming you’ve paid the minimum needed so far, the single premium needed to fully pay up the shadow account for life (referred to as single premium to pay up)

DIY: Creative Shadow Accounts
![Page 8: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vanilla Shadow Account
• Consider a shadow account with only 2 components
– COIs = 27% of 80 CSO– Interest = 4.5%
![Page 9: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vanilla Shadow Account
• Male, 65, NonTobacco– Single pay premium = $312– At duration 10, shadow account value = $446– single premium to pay up = $446– “r” = 100%– tVx = 6; Ax = 705– AG38 = $705
![Page 10: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Creative Shadow Account
• New Provision: if your shadow account value ever = 0, then the parameters of the shadow account change– COIs = 100% 80 CSO
• Why? – Because assuming you’ve paid the minimum
needed so far (shad acct = 0 at end of each year), the single premium needed to pay up = $718
![Page 11: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Creative Reserves
– At duration 10, shadow account value = $446– single premium to pay up = $718– “r” = 62%– tVx = 6; Ax = 705– AG38 = $440– 39% reduction!– This is only one fairly tame example.

Arguments for Fixing the Formula

I Want to Fix the Formula
• New proposal merely clarifies the guideline’s original intent
![Page 14: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I Want to Fix the Formula
“Obviously, new policy designs will emerge subsequent to the development of this document. No statute, regulation, or guideline can anticipate every future product design, and common sense and professional responsibility are needed to assure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the law. While the Model is a complex regulation, its intent is clear: reserves need to be established for the guarantees provided by a policy. Policy designs which are created to simply disguise those guarantees or exploit a perceived loophole must be reserved in a manner similar to more typical designs with similar guarantees.”

I Want to Fix the Formula
• New proposal merely clarifies the guidelines original intent
• The “fix”creates a level playing field
• Feel bound by the “spirit” language

I Want to Fix the Formula
• It doesn’t mean you are opposed to modeling based reserves
• Short term fix; Long term solution (maybe very long)
• Disputes over reserve levels may get worse, not better

Arguments for Modeling Based Reserves

Modeling Based Reserves
• Problem vs. Symptom of a problem
– Problem = redundant reserves
– Symptom = creative shadow accounts, financial reinsurance and LOC, securitization, etc
![Page 23: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Modeling Based Reserves
• What was the intent?
• Similar guarantees? There are none.
• I’m following the law
• Retroactivity is unfair
![Page 24: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Modeling Based Reserves
• My reserves are adequate
• Let’s consider the consumer
• Formula driven reserves are a waste of time
![Page 25: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rebuttal
![Page 26: Actuarial Guideline 38 & Shadow Accounts - ACSWacsw.us/spring05/01 Actuarial Guideline 38 - Peoples.pdf · Calculation of “r ... minimum needed so far, the single premium needed](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a9ece8a7f8b9a71178bdca6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rebuttals - Formula Driven
• Problem vs. Symptom of a problem– This is an argument for changing the law, not
circumventing it
• Retroactivity is unfair?– Retroactivity is the only thing that is fair

Rebuttals - Formula Driven
• My reserves are adequate– Statutory law is to create a conservative
standard

Three Positions
• Vote for me!
• No, vote for ME!
• I don’t care. Just tell me what to do.

Currently Exposed AG38
• Changes denominator of “r”
– “r” = the minimum possible value of a paid up shadow account
