The life insurance industry faces complex challenges that demand actuarial expertise. As highlighted in Martin Considine's article, three issues dominated discussions at our recent Appointed Actuaries Forum. • IDII sustainability remains elusive. Despite extensive work by the Contract Terms Working Group, no solution has yet earned the "green light" under customer-centricity principles. The search continues for an approach that maintains insurable interest whilst delivering sustainable premiums. • Financial advice reform is gaining momentum. The Help, Guidance and Advice framework under DBFO could transform outcomes for the 85% of Australians currently without advice. However, guidance appears underdeveloped, and superannuation funds hold the key to success. • Genetics regulation brings new complexities. The Government's total ban on using adverse genetic testing results will reshape underwriting practices. The real question now is how we measure effectiveness when the ban limits data collection for future reviews. For Appointed Actuaries and life insurance professionals, these insights from industry leaders provide essential context for navigating an evolving regulatory environment.

🚨 Breaking new ground in risk & resilience 🚨 Willis is proud to launch a market‑first parametric insurance policy that gets triggered not by the physical damage from extreme weather, but by red weather warnings issued by Met Office or Met Éireann. Learn more > https://ow.ly/9vR250X6b1b 🔍 Key highlights: • If a red warning is issued (for e.g. extreme wind, heavy rain, snow or ice), the policy automatically activates—even before the weather event materialises. • The insured receives a pre‑agreed payout to cover lost revenue or operational costs, even if the forecasted extreme weather doesn’t fully manifest. • This solves a common protection gap: traditional policies don’t account for precautionary costs (like shutting down operations in advance). • Developed in collaboration with Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, this policy offers transparency, fast settlement, and flexibility in how proceeds are used. As Claire Wilkinson (MD, Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions, Willis) puts it: “By triggering the parametric policy on the forecast rather than the event, the insured receives … cover … even if the event does not manifest itself as was forecast.” For sectors like hospitality, where cancellations and early closures from weather alerts are costly, this is a game changer. Get in contact with us today to learn more about this solution. #WeatherWarning #Risk #Insurance #Willis #Innovation #Parametric
