A parametric curve was fitted to the data from the normal retirement ages up to age 85. Below the normal retirement ages the rates increasingly reflected the impact of higher mortality due to ill-health retirements and so the curve was blended into that of the most recent standard table of life-assured mortality (SA85–90). Above age 85 the estimates were thought to be unreliable and the extrapolation of the curve fit to the younger ages did not allow for the expected fall in the rate of increase in the rates with age. Thus rates above this age were estimated using a relationship proposed by Coale and Kisker. It was not possible to produce select rates or to decide on a trend in these rates over time.

The vision for a future unified national healthcare system is given and the phases of reform are outlined. The first phase of reforms has been completed and these are contextualised in terms of a return to solidarity principles. The elements of a planned social healthinsurance system are described and it is shown how income cross-subsidies will further entrench the principles of solidarity. In the past, healthcare actuaries largely supported mutuality principles. The implications for the actuarial profession are suggested.

This paper provides an analysis of the administrative charges paid by South Africans saving for retirement in the areas of occupational retirement funds, individual-life products and unit trusts, using a model designed to evaluate the lifetime effect of these charges. The analysis suggests that retirement funds are cheapest, followed by unit trusts and then individual-life products. These results are consistent with the flexibility of the more expensive products. Overall, however, charges appear to be high. Comparison with international benchmarks appears to confirm these concerns. South Africa is in need of new pension-fund legislation and initial thinking on the framework has begun. The paper ends with thoughts on the implications of this research for policymakers.

The current thinking and practice of the larger \u0000South African life insurance companies regarding investment guarantees is set out following their \u0000responses to a survey. The paper examines the forms of investment guarantee available and the business issues created \u0000by the writing of these guarantees. These include issues around the design and pricing of new \u0000business, as well as the risk management of in-force business. The paper also compares existing methods used internationally to value life insurance business \u0000with investment guarantees, focusing on the use of stochastic models. The different allowances \u0000for risk within each valuation method and the appropriateness of these allowances when valuing \u0000investment guarantees are considered. The stochastic models compared include both statistically \u0000based real-world models and market-consistent state-price-deflator or risk-neutral models. \u0000Practical issues around the building of such asset-liability stochastic models are briefly \u0000discussed.
