Financial Modeling Solution Meets Insurers' Needs in Solvency II and Risk Management Environment
MILAN, July 1, 2010 - Milliman, Inc., one of the premier global consulting and actuarial firms,
today announced that its leading financial modeling solution, MG-ALFA, is
available to Life Insurance professionals in Italy. The exceptional
calculation capabilities of MG-ALFA make it an indispensable tool for
insurers in today's Solvency II and ERM (Enterprise Risk Management)
environment.
In making the announcement, Martin Sher, Milliman's European MG-ALFA
Product Manager noted, "MG-ALFA will prove to be the missing link for life
insurance professionals here. As the insurance industry changes, companies
will need to perform much more sophisticated calculations and the number of
compute cycles required will increase by many orders of magnitude."
Ed Morgan, Milliman's Life practice director in Italy added, "Risk
Management, Solvency II, ALM and MCEV all require stochastic and fully
dynamic ALM models. MG-ALFA provides the speed and capacity to run advanced
analysis in real time, with even nested stochastic calculations possible.
This capacity is available, together with a full set of Italian liability,
asset and accounting functionality. This has already proved very valuable in
allowing key risk analyses on Italian Life business and, in particular,
segregated fund business, to be delivered to senior insurance company
management. These capabilities put MG-ALFA clients in Italy in an ideal
position to meet the challenges of Solvency II," Morgan concluded.
