Monte Carlo Simulation and Actuarially Certified Policy Standards Analysis

 
In all fair types of evaluation, a comparison must be made to a known, objective (non-subjective), quantitative measurable standard or benchmark. Can we make such a comparison with non-guaranteed life insurance and what do we use as the policy standard or benchmark model? To answer this question, let’s go back and consider the three main pricing components of life insurance policies: That is, the cost of insurance, i.e. the mortality costs; expenses of administration and operation, including startup costs and commissions; and, investment returns, the interest credited to the policy or the earnings of separate accounts.
