Research Insights, a Society of Actuaries Podcast Research Insights

We have a great Research Insights Podcast Classic to bring to you today.  Six years ago this month, in June of 2018, we published the Research Insights Podcast titled “Auto Loss Cost Trends.”  This podcast reviewed a set of reports written by the Society of Actuaries, the Casualty Actuarial Society and PCI (Property & Casualty Trade Organization), focusing on Auto Loss Cost Trends.  This joint project looked at a number of troubling trends that had been occurring over several recent years. So, sit back and listen to the authors of the report discuss and analyze the change in trend lines, in this month’s Research Insights Podcast Classic.

Happy Birthday Society of Actuaries!
