Product development

The product side of the house

What's selling, at what rates, on what experience — the inputs a pricing actuary works from. This space is deliberately a scaffold: the market data is live now, and the pricing, nonforfeiture, and filing framework builds out next, alongside the depth already in Valuation.

Market landscape

Who is selling what, and who is winning — the competitive context for any product decision.

Competitive rates

The rate sheet the market actually shows customers.

Experience & pricing assumptions

Pricing starts from experience. The public studies that anchor mortality, lapse, and morbidity assumptions live with the valuation tables.

Pricing & profitability framework

The build-out planned for this space — scaffolded now, detailed later.

Profit metrics

IRR, profit margin, breakeven year; how reserve strain under XXX vs VM-20 changes the pricing answer.

planned

Product design levers

Guarantee structure, level periods, secondary guarantees, indexed credits — and their reserve consequences.

planned

Nonforfeiture & §7702

SNFL minimum values, definition-of-life-insurance limits, the 2021 §7702 rate change.

planned

Filing & compact

IIPRC standards, SERFF filing mechanics, state variations.

Public sources only. The planned sections will follow the same rule as the valuation side: official documents, cited, with anything unverified flagged.
