    Hi all,

    My colleagues at work told me the US (SOA) education system teaches the lapse cycle/triangle. Any idea of whether this will be covered in the ST subjects? The discontinuance chapter in subject CA1 doesn't cover lapse triangle.

    I just finished the CT subjects, not knowing about the lapse cycle put me in a disadvantage at work. Been doing UAT on a lapse report following a product revamp.

    Grateful if anyone can shed some light.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Is a lapse triangle the same as a run off triangle? If so, it's covered in CT6.

    I think it's related to the policydate. It maybe related to the stages (if any) between a policy remaining inforce and the time it actually lapses. Note sure if it's related to how a policy contributes to the exposure when determining the lapse rate.
