Abstract

The emergence of aging and health deterioration, coupled with increasing pressure on global healthcare systems, calls for greater effort from long-term care (LTC) systems. These systems can provide solutions that address social needs while promoting collective well-being, aligned with the principles of sustainable finance. In this work, we examine how insurers can dynamically evaluate profits from a LTC portfolio under a forward-looking perspective. In particular, these types of coverage are based on health-related tables and transition probabilities, whose determination is complex and subject to a high degree of uncertainty. In order to exhibit the consequences of making an incorrect choice in terms of technical bases, we built our methodology on a 'risk-adjusted' procedure and investigate expected profit/loss patterns over time, as well as perceived risk in different valuation scenarios. Additionally, to enables profitability measurement to reflect risk exposure, we incorporate model risk into a subjective evaluation, considering CRRA utility functions adjusted for risk.
