| Allstate | Grainger 1185 | Thursday, Nov 19, 5:30 - 6:30PM |
Property and Casualty pricing within a state is largely driven by the recent historical losses for a given line of business like Homeowners.

| Milliman Presentation | Grainger Hall, Rm 1295 | Thursday, April 23rd, 6:00PM | The current economic crisis had its origin in the residential mortgage market, which has certainly suffered severe stress in the last couple years. What started as a subprime mortgage problem quickly evolved into a broad mortgage crisis with waves of losses in Alt-A (a cousin of subprime) and even prime loans. This "real world stress test" has inflicted severe pain on many institutions that hold assets tied to these markets including general insurers and particularly life insurance companies. These assets include mortgage backed securities (MBSs), asset backed securities (ABSs), and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Rising defaults and declining house prices have led to downgrades by the rating agencies and the illiquidity of many of these securities. In such an environment, many have called into question the severly impaired market values of these securites as reasonable accounting values and as measures on intrinsic value. | 20 |
