AXIS is the complete actuarial solution for life, fixed and variable annuity, health, DI and LTC product needs. One integrated system supports any or all of seriatim valuation, pricing, product development and financial projection for all purposes.

The flexibility and power of financial projections in AXIS is unmatched. Now you can realistically reflect income taxes, reserves and capital requirements within your financial projections, on up to three financial frameworks (Stat, GAAP and one other) simultaneously, and you can embed realistic stochastic reserve and capital calculations at future reporting dates. And now with the release of the new AXIS Hedge Projection Module, hedging strategies can be reflected within all reserve and capital calculations for VA’s.

AXIS is a single, robust vendor-maintained system that is ready to use out of the box yet has more built-in flexibility than other systems. AXIS is continually enhanced to meet changing needs and exploit new technology with 6 scheduled releases every year. System updates when needed are easy to install and consistency of results is assured.

AXIS offers important economic advantages and productivity improvements:

■ changes in product or assumption are handled without needing complex programming

■ one system to learn and validate decreases redundant work, improves communication and improves transferability of staff

■ multiple applications on one business model assures consistency and reduces validation

■ fast seriatim processing reduces the need for model building or hardware purchase to meet reporting time-frames

■ ALM and advanced stochastic analysis is possible using the same models and software

■ our efficient proprietary grid manager maximizes hardware utilization at minimum cost

■ AXIS is ready for PBA and IFRS now enabling research and future transition with less effort and expense Your next software conversion could be your last if you plan it right.
