Actuarial Risk

Actuarial risk is the danger that the computations used to generate insurance probability estimates are based on inaccurate assumptions. These probability estimates are used to price insurance policies at a level that allows the insurer to make expected payouts while continuing regular business operations. If the underlying assumptions are wrong, the insurer could face serious financial consequences.
