En el 2017 la industria de los seguros de vida y no vida en el Perú facturó cerca de 11,327 millones de soles, un 0.6% más respecto al año anterior (Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros, 2016), y alcanzó un nivel de penetración en el PBI de 1.6%. Esto muestra el amplio espacio de la industria para seguir creciendo, y para seguir ofreciendo productos de cobertura individual y masiva (Equilibrium, 2018), si la comparamos con otros mercados del globo. La industria se basa en una red de distribución de corredores de seguros, conformada principalmente por empresas unipersonales o familiares basadas en esfuerzos comerciales personales en las que el relacionamiento directo o indirecto del dueño de la empresa determina el radio de acción de la compañía. Sin embargo, al tener labores operativas atendidas principalmente por humanos y en formatos impresos físicos, pueden presentarse numerosos errores durante el ciclo de venta. Para mejorar la productividad de estas empresas, proponemos la creación de Previsor, un Sistema Integrado de Gestión que permitirá a los corredores contar con la información de sus clientes de forma rápida, continua y eficiente desde cualquier dispositivo conectado al internet, ayudando a aumentar sus ventas cruzadas y a manejar sus emisiones de las pólizas. Estimamos que nuestro servicio tendrá un pago mensual de US$ 150.00, mientras que para su inversión estimamos cerca de $500,000.00, un VAN de casi US$ 1.7 millones y una TIR de 253%, lo que será sumamente atractivo para los inversionistas que involucraremos a lo largo del proyecto. / In 2017, the insurance and non-life insurance industry in Peru billed close to 11,327 million Soles, 0.6% more than the previous year (Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros, 2016); and it permeated through the GDP in a 1.6%. This scenario shows the wide potential of the industry to continue growing and to keep offering products of individual and massive coverage (Equilibrium, 2018) if we compare it with other markets of the globe. The industry is based in a distribution network of brokers, which is mainly composed of sole proprietorships or family enterprises based in personal commercial efforts, in which the direct or indirect relationship of the owner determines the action scope of the company. However, as their tasks are mainly attended by humans and in physical printed formats, numerous mistakes can occur during the sales cycle. In order to improve the productivity of these enterprises, we propose the creation of Previsor, an Integrated Management System which will allow the insurance brokers to access to their clients’ information in a fast, continuous, and efficient way. The system can be accessed from any device connected to the internet, which will help the brokers to increase their crossed sales and to manage their policy emissions. We estimate that our service will have a monthly payment of US$ 150.00, an investment of $500,000.00 approximately, an NPV of almost US $ 1.7 million, and an IRR of 253%. These are estimations that can make our project a very attractive opportunity for any future investors. / Trabajo de investigación

The key objective of insurance company on money management is asset liability management, as policy asset is solely for paying policy liability. It is true whether it is in case of life insurance, general insurance, or reinsurance. The difficulty of achieving such objective is that the exact cash flow and the exact duration of policy liability are unknown ex ante that requires the asset manager's a good quantitative, financial skill. What is worse is that the variations of cash flow and duration can be huge that is demanding on the asset manager's quantitative, financial skill. Quantitative problem is difficult but qualitative problem can be even more difficult. The specialist problem in insurance industry, which is also known as agency problem in information economics, is notorious. It is because a specialist may no longer work for the insurance company when the long term liability is due and the existing liability portfolio is always composed of myriad policies liability. / The purpose of this thesis is to try to provide solutions to three critical problems in insurance industry. (1) China is the most booming country for insurance at the moment. So, it is selected for discussing about the most difficult problem in modern finance---specialist problem. A structural approach is devised in this thesis to solve such problem. The solution can be generalized to all countries. (2) As many people argue about that modern finance is inapplicable to emerging market, such as China, especially when there are capital account and currency controls, the bond market of China is selected to provide evidence that modern finance is applicable to emerging market even both the capital account and the currency of the country are controlled by the government. (3) The last part of this thesis provides a breakthrough solution to price insurer default option, an embedded option, in insurance company using observable credit default swap price, as the traditional approach needs statistical assumption that is subjective. / Li, Wing Ping Desmond. / Adviser: Frank Youhua Chen. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-06, Section: A, page: 2169. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 64-65). / Electronic reproduction.

In life insurance contracts, actuaries generally value premiums using deterministic mortality rates and interest rates. They have ignored them stochastically in most of the studies. However it is known that neither interest rates nor mortality rates are constant. It is also known that companies may encounter insolvency problems such as ruin, so the ruin probability need to be added to the valuation of the life insurance contracts process. Insurance companies should model their surplus processes to price some types of life insurance contracts and to see risk position. In this study, mortality rates and surplus processes are modeled and financial strength of companies are utilized when pricing life insurance contracts.
