Description
This grant opportunity from the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute seeks proposals to produce annual reports and analyses on the incidence and severity of claims for critical illness insurance products across Asia Pacific health insurance markets. The research aims to aggregate claims data from key insurers in markets such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and potentially others, to identify experience trends, examine product contingencies, and educate both the actuarial community and the public about the importance and impact of these coverages. The findings are expected to support the actuarial profession and raise awareness about financial security risks associated with critical illnesses.
