Students considering selecting this course are advised to first evaluate their knowledge of material covered in ERMC PS5350: Intro to Quantitative Risk Management (IQRM), which can be done by completing this online assessment test. If the test indicates a material gap of IQRM knowledge, then it is strongly suggested – though not required – that the student either (a) first successfully complete the IQRM course prior to registering for this course; or (b) select either Strategic Risk Management or Operational Risk Management as your elective to complete the Certificate. (If the IQRM course is taken, it would not count as one of the four required Certificate courses.)
Review of types of insurance risk, such as pricing risk, underwriting risk, reserving risk, etc. Includes case studies, risk quantification methods (e.g., market-consistent economic capital models, dynamic financial analysis (DFA) models, catastrophe models, etc.), and common mitigation techniques, such as asset-liability management (ALM), reinsurance, etc. Also addresses traditional risk management at insurance companies and ERM actuarial standards of practice (ASOPs).
