1 Istitute of Actuaries of Idia Subject CT5 Geeral Isurace, Life ad Health Cotigecies For 2017 Examiatios

2 Aim The aim of the Cotigecies subject is to provide a groudig i the mathematical techiques which ca be used to model ad value cashflows depedet o death, survival, or other ucertai risks. Liks to other subjects Subjects CT1 Fiacial Mathematics, CT3 Probability ad Mathematical Statistics ad CT4 Models: itroduce techiques that will be draw upo ad used i the developmet of this subject. Subjects ST1 Health ad Care Specialist Techical, ST2 Life Isurace Specialist Techical ad ST4 Pesios ad other Beefits Specialist Techical: use the priciples itroduced i this subject. Objectives O completio of this subject the cadidate will be able to: (i) Defie simple assurace ad auity cotracts, ad develop formulae for the meas ad variaces of the preset values of the paymets uder these cotracts, assumig costat determiistic iterest. 1.
