Strategic assistance for an insurer in a XXX securitization

Milliman assisted an insurer in evaluating alternative ways to fund redundant reserves. After the insurer decided to use a securitization solution, Milliman developed assumptions and models for the level-term business included in the securitization, including development of economic reserves. Our projections included baseline projections as well as a range of stress tests. The results from our work were documented in a report that was included in the offering circular for the transaction. We developed a separate report, reviewing the transaction "deal model." We also participated in discussions with the rating agencies, the regulators, the financial guarantors, and potential investors, on behalf of our client.
