Conference Calls

“What Happens When an Insurer Fails?” with Cory Zass

Sep 15, 2026

The Capitol Forum hosted a conference call with Corwin “Cory” Zass, Founder, Principal and Consulting Actuary at Actuarial Risk Management (ARM), to discuss emerging risks across the life and annuity industry and the potential consequences of financial distress or failure at an insurer.

The conversation examined how actuarial and financial risks can develop within life insurers, warning signs of growing financial strain, and how an insurer failure could affect policyholders, counterparties, regulators, guaranty associations, and the broader insurance market.
