Insurance Advisory Service December 2018

In the December 2018 issue of the Insurance Advisory Service, our special feature, Genetic Testing in the Life Insurance Industry: Insurer Attitudes from Australia, showcases the results from a survey conducted by our Australian research team, Strategic Insight, Actuaries & Researchers, which investigated Australian insurance carriers’ attitudes toward possible future use of predictive genetic information for life insurance. The survey covered the impact of genetic testing on customer issues; new retail life policies (advised sales); new direct life policies; group life policies; and actuarial issues, including mortality, trauma and disability risk.
