Standardized Assumptions

  • 2. Standardized Assumptions
    • Tony Higgins (N.C.) asked the working group to consider projections into the future for only a few years of the non-guaranteed elements, and then projections further into the future of standardized assumptions or guarantees.
    • Mr. Wright said this allows a company to show how its policy works without the problem of projections of non-guaranteed elements far into the future.
    • Lester Dunlap (La.) also expressed interest in the idea of standardized assumptions to show how the policy works.
      • He said projections far into the future can border on misrepresentation.
