The Pricing actuary had recently priced a non participating 10 year regular premium endowment product which is now open to sales. The economic scenario has changed significantly as a result of which the valuation actuary had to revise his valuation assumptions. The first few policies sold for this product produced negative reserves.
Q.1. what are negative reserves?(elaborately explain when they can occur and why they are considered not good)
Q.2. Why do most regulators ask the insurance companies to set the negative reserves to zero in case of negative reserves?
