A comprehensive and accessible reference source that documents the theoretical and practical aspects
of all the key deterministic and stochastic reserving methods that have been developed for use in
general insurance. Worked examples and mathematical details are included, along with many of the
broader topics associated with reserving in practice. The key features of reserving in a range of
different contexts in the UK and elsewhere are also covered.
The book contains material that will appeal to anyone with an interest in claims reserving. It
can be used as a learning resource for actuarial students who are studying the relevant parts of their
professional bodies’ examinations, as well as by others who are new to the subject. More experienced
insurance and other professionals can use the book to refresh or expand their knowledge in any of the
wide range of reserving topics covered in the book.
