Handbook of Solvency for Actuaries and Risk Managers

Serving as a one-stop shop for actuaries and risk managers, this handbook presents a complete overview of solvency and the European Solvency II standard formula. It discusses the development of solvency and risk management as well as the modeling and calibration of the specific standard formula developed for Solvency II. In addition to a historical review of solvency and risk management, the book covers the modeling of capital charges in a general setting and highlights important concepts in enterprise risk management, such as dependence (copula), properties of risk measures, non-normality, and non-linearity.
