PBR Impacts to Annuities

There has been significant discussion of PBR for Life Insurance, but there has also been progress in development of PBR for annuities; including VM-21, VM-22, and future VM-23. The presenters will look at the progress in PBR for annuities and what the future may hold.

At the conclusion of the session the attendees will have a better understanding of annuity PBR history, the current state of annuity PBR and potential future paths for those products not currently reserved for under a principles-based approach.
