Web Session

Solvency II Update

16 June 2026 | 9:30-12:45 CEST

The amended Solvency II Directive entered into force on 28 January 2025 and will apply from 30 January 2027 following national transposition.

 

This web session will provide an overview of the key amendments introduced by the revised Directive and the main attention points from the Delegated Regulation published on 29 October 2025 by the Commission. It will also cover the ongoing EIOPA consultation papers and the contribution of the AAE Solvency II Working Group.

 

You will gain a clear understanding of the practical implications of the new framework, its expected impact on insurers and supervisors, and the preparatory steps needed ahead of the 2027 application date.

The New Insurance Performance Metrics 
(in Gaap, Solvency 2 & IFRS)

22, 23, 25 & 25/26 June 2026 | 9:00-11:30 CEST

Due to the inversion of the production cycle, the insurance business is very different from other traditional industries. Understanding, measuring and managing the performance of insurance companies is difficult due to the specific risks insurance companies must cover. It is therefore essential that you, as an employee of the insurance sector, understand how your company operates, how its activity is measured via the balance sheet and the income statement, which main regulations influence this measure, which indicators are used to assess the performance and what levers can improve this performance.

 

The aim of this web session is to:

 

  • Understand how to read an insurance balance sheet (with a focus on technical provisions and own funds)
  • Be able to read an income statement (P&L) across regulatory frameworks
  • Compute relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • Understand the impact of risk mitigation (reinsurance) and Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) on the KPIs

Deep Learning in Finance for Pension Funds with Examples

29 June 2026 | 10:00-12:15 CEST

Deep Learning supports Solvency Requirements for Pension Funds and ensures the Guarantee of Benefit Payments at any time. It is particularly well-suited for time series forecasting related to inflation, yield curves and asset allocation returns in order to prepare and review these. We use the Long short-term memory (LSTM) method, a type of recurrent neural network (RNN), as well as other neural networks.

 

Deep learning is a type of machine learning that uses multi-layered neural networks. The libraries programmed with Python are fascinating areas of research because they help to verify time series forecasts and to understand how long it might take for the pension fund to reach the target value of the investment fluctuation reserve based on the current situation.

 

RNN-based models, particularly LSTMs, are increasingly being used to capture complex spatio–temporal dependencies, while hybrid architectures combine convolutional and recurrent components (i.e., CNN-LSTM). Researchers have developed hybrid models that further improve prediction accuracy, which is very important for financial forecasting.

 

The annual financial statement of a pension fund shows all important parameters of the liabilities as well as all types of reserves. Deep Learning in Finance helps to forecast for portfolio returns, inflation as well as yield curves and to understand how the investment fluctuation reserve might develop. Based on this analysis, the annual financial statement presentation could be prepared for the members of the Board of Trustees, helping them to make final decisions on the expected benefit payments and to understand how this kind of analysis could be done.
