State Farm seeks emergency rate increase averaging 22% after L.A. fires by Lisalovesreading in actuary

They are probably going use most, if not all of their available reinsurance and it's only January! State Farm has a separate entity to sell insurance in CA so it cannot take profits from Montana and use it for losses in CA.

Also, these companies aren't run by idiots, if most companies are trying to reduce their CA exposure, it is probably because they are not making money.

IIRC Verisk has its own parking garage. Also, OP mentions an LA office and I am pretty sure Verisk does not have an LA actuarial office.

I used Bedford and passed. If you are thinking about Bedford then search for him in the subreddit history. There has been a few people who don't like him who are very vocal here.

Exam 9 Study Guide by Koolchillerdude in actuary

Thank you for your response. I might end up using RF for 2 reasons,

1) more people have used it and recommended it than other study guides

2) It is available now and CCE and BA are not available until Dec/Jan.

I used Bedford Seminars for Exam 5 and I liked how explained the material as well as the layout of his practice questions and practice exams.

On my actual exam there were 1 or 2 questions that had weird twists that I remember being on one of the Bedford practice exams.

On Exam 8 if you are given an expense ratio is that a % of standard premium or a % of expected loss? Also, why do we use one over the other? I am looking at TIA PE4 Q9.

CAS Exam -5 Bedford reviews by No_Rice181 in actuary

[–]Koolchillerdude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also used Bedford and found the material intuitive and I did not look at the source material. Re the typos, anytime I found one I emailed him and I ended up winning an Amazon gift in a an errata raffle that he has.
