Just a quick note to kick-off the 2010 exam seminar for ILA-DP. It seems way too early to be thinking about the fall exams, but they will be here before we know it (unforunately).
At this point, I have started working on the new material for 2010. Overall, there is not a lot of new material, so most of the lessons will remain the same as the 2009 version that is already available. Section E (Marketing) will have some changes, but it’s mostly just in the way the material is organized.
There will also be some new sections added for the new material, with the biggest addition being the Variable Annuities material. The good news is that there will also be several sections removed from the syllabus. Thus, if you have already started looking at the 2009 online seminar, you can ignore the following sections:
- B.2.2 – Dynamic Policyholder Behavior in Pricing of VA’s
- B.2.3 – Managing Variable Policyholder Behavior Risk
- B.2.4 – Valuation of Living and DB guarantees for VA’s
- D.3.1 – Pitfalls in Indexed Products
- D.3.2 – Variable Annuity Risk
I will be posting updates as the 2010 material is uploaded, but until then, Happy Studying!!
