Suman Chakraborty spoke at the ReFocus Conference, co‑hosted by the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA), held February 15–18, 2026, in Las Vegas.
The session examined how past YRT treaty language contributed to numerous life reinsurance arbitrations and how the industry has since adapted its wording to help reduce such disputes. The panel also explored emerging areas of risk in current flow and in‑force life and annuity reinsurance transactions, identifying potential flashpoints and offering practical strategies to mitigate the likelihood of future arbitrations.
