Huge Gains in Speed and Efficiency
Mike Schofield, VP, Actuarial and Risk Management, Sun Life Financial.
“Prior to implementing the PathWise platform for variable annuities, we relied on multiple systems to support our financial reporting processes,” reports Mike Schofield, VP, Actuarial and Risk Management, Sun Life Financial. “Using PathWise, we have been able to consolidate these components into a single controlled system, resulting in huge gains in speed and efficiency.”
“Processes that used to take many hours can now be completed in a matter of minutes, which has helped increased the depth and breadth of analysis used within our financial reporting, risk management processes, and new product development,” Schofield elaborates.
The vendor describes the PathWise solution as an integrated business solution for financial guarantees embedded in life insurance products, and supports new product development, financial and regulatory reporting, enterprise risk management activities, and hedge program management and reporting activities.
