Contingencies, September/October 2018
In the September/October Contingencies, the cover story, “A Policy for Fluffy,” explores pet insurance, which currently occupies only a relatively small niche of the marketplace—but many observers believe it’s poised for big growth in the United States. Other features include “Flu Review”—Just in time for flu season, a brief history and analysis of influenza risk, and how actuaries fit into insurance companies’ strategic plans to deal with outbreaks; and “Taking Aim”—Actuarial professionalism and the challenge of engagement. Also, a President’s Message on the Academy as the fulcrum of self-regulation; insights from health care systems in Africa and the Middle East; and an exploration of core values and the ASOPs.
