STATUTorY ACtUARY’S REPORt<br />
TO THE mEmbERS OF NEDNAmIbIA LIFE ASSURANcE cOmPANY LImITED<br />
1. Financial Soundness<br />
I have conducted an actuarial valuation of NedNamibia Life<br />
Assurance company <strong>Limited</strong> in accordance with generally<br />
accepted actuarial principles. These principles require reasonable<br />
provision for future outgo under in-force policies, generally based<br />
on the assumption that current conditions will continue. Provision<br />
is therefore not made for all possible contingencies.<br />
The liability has been based on cash flow projections, on a per<br />
policy basis, using the assumptions contained in note 3 below.<br />

The value of the assets, liabilities and excess assets on the Published<br />

2. Analysis of Change in Excess Assets<br />
The excess of the value of the assets over the liabilities has<br />
changed as follows over the reporting period.<br />

Change in excess<br />

Difference – –<br />
The excess assets on the Statutory (and Published) Reporting<br />
basis increased to N$12,446,818. This is an improvement from the<br />
previous year’s earnings of N$5,655,017. The increase in earnings<br />
is attributable to good expense and mortality experience, reducing<br />
expense and mortality assumptions and another strong year of<br />
new business flows.<br />
3. Changes in Valuation Methods or Assumptions<br />
The value of liabilities decreased by N$1,022,991 as a result of the<br />
renewal expense assumptions reducing from N$191,70 per annum<br />
to N$170 per annum. This assumption is reduced to reflect the<br />
expense basis that Nedgroup Life will use when administering this<br />
tranche of business after transfer in 2011.<br />
The value of the liabilities decreased by N$3,481,227 as a result of<br />
the mortality, morbidity and retrenchment assumptions reducing<br />
25%. claims have been small over the last two years and there is<br />
strong motivation to drop the assumptions despite a small cohort<br />
of data. The 25% reduction was asserted with the view that there<br />
may be scope to further decrease this over time as the statistical<br />
credibility grows.
