Cont…• “And every man's augury have We fastened to
his own neck, and We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book which he will find wide open. (And it will be said unto him): Read thy book. Thy soul sufficeth as reckoner against thee this day. (17:13-14)
• “Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when the account is cast.” (14:41)

Our Balance Sheet…• “Then whoso is given his account in his
right hand, he truly will receive an easy reckoning and will return unto his folk in joy but whoso is given his account behind his back, he surely will invoke destruction…” (84:7-11)

On Recording…• “…Be not averse to writing down (the
contract) whether it be small or great, with (record of) the term thereof…” (2:282)
• “If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And …Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do.”

Accuracy Principle• “And We set a just balance for the Day of
Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.” (Quran, 21:47)
• “And whoso does good an atom's weight will see it then, and whoso does ill an atom's weight will see it then.” (Quran, 99:7-8
• )The Prophet said, “Whoever does an action, must do so with excellence.”

NUM3ERS• He made you Kings, and gave you that (which)
He gave not to any (one) of (His) creatures (5:20)• “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the
orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye will not do injustice.” (4:3)

NUM3ERS• “…and (some) say: Five, their dog the sixth,
guessing at random; and (some) say: Seven, and their dog the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is best aware of their number. None knoweth them save a few. So contend not concerning them except with an outward contending, and ask not any of them to pronounce concerning them.” (18:22)

Equity Principle…• “O ye who believe ! Be ye staunch in equity,
witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (than ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse ( from truth ) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.” (4:135)

Flexibility Principle…• Subject to framework of fiqh aulawiyyat
(priority jurisprudence)– It alone cannot sacrifice soundness and
equity– to balance between the various masalih
(interests/benefits), the various mafasid (harms) and to balance between the various masalih and mafasid.

Which Is Priority?

Lessons From Conventional Insurance
• General Insurance– Not much except from CAS, IMS– Eg. Bonus malus system
• Life Insurance– With-profits (participating) policies
INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC FINANCE INSURANCE
azmanwong@yahoo.com www.iifin.com
Lessons From Life Policies• Principle of soundness, has been given
priority over equity and that the actuary should seek to protect the ongoing financial soundness of the company.
• Equity principle difficult in practice– Simple RB, Compounded RB, Terminal Bonus, – Only investment profit relatively without
controversy

azmanwong@yahoo.com www.iifin.com
Flexibility Principle In Life Ins• Inequity issues
– Intergenerational esp previously based on triennial– Cross subsidy between different classes– Net premium method– “Pooled fund” method– “Partitioned fund” method” eg. Par and non par– Equity backing ratio– Asset share method

Inequity issues• Many discussions – to many to discuss
here. See following..– Suttee, Equity In Bonus Distribution,
Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, Volume 73,
– Ranson and Headdon, With Profits Without Mystery, Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, Volume 116,

Back to Flexibility Principle In Life Ins…
• Bonus Method– not be an easy task to fix an equitable rate
of bonus.– reversionary bonus system, which paid out
so much quicker, became the accepted standard
– maintaining certain rates of bonus not justifiable at times
INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC FINANCE INSURANCE
azmanwong@yahoo.com www.iifin.com
Flexibility Principle…• suggestions of “maximum practicable
degree of equity”• achieve “rough equity”• took into account the concept of equity
over• a period of time• asset shares – considered final entitlement
INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC FINANCE INSURANCE
azmanwong@yahoo.com www.iifin.com
Flexibility Principle…• Smoothing
– smoothing with fairness is elusive.– costs of maintaining the Bonus Smoothing
Account– near maturity and not all with-profit policies– approximations could be made which
would be refined with the passage of time

Counterargument• “Commendable pursuit of simplicity has
materially flawed the foundations on which the structure is built…”

Guide For Actuaries• Notes on the search for equity in life
insurance submitted to IAA– Equity is a basic objective – While equity is important it must be
secondary to soundness.– Equity apply to classes and generations &
extend to shareholders.– Precise equity does not exist

According to a Standard…• Actuaries
– should seek to protect the ongoing financial soundness of the company;
– should seek to ensure that reasonable benefits are provided to participating and experience related non-participating policyholders;
– should seek to achieve equitable treatment between different groups of participating and experience related non-participating policyholders.

Cont…• Appointed actuary should give
consideration to:– the sources of the surplus disclosed– the relative risks taken – the need to maintain the overall viability of
the company for existing policyholders;– prevailing attitudes within the actuarial
profession.
