Abstract

Traditional Stochastic Modeling (Monte Carlo) is the gold standard for calculating Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR), but it is computationally prohibitive for real-time pricing. This paper introduces Generative Actuarial Networks (GANs), a specialized AI architecture designed by Himashi Meththasena. Unlike standard LLMs, our model utilizes a "Constrained-Decoder" to ensure all predicted loss distributions adhere strictly to Kolmogorov axioms and accounting identities. We demonstrate a 1,400x speedup in SCR calculation with a margin of error < 0.01% compared to nested Monte Carlo simulations.

1. The Computational Bottleneck

In the Solvency II framework, insurers must calculate the Value at Risk (VaR) at a 99.5% confidence level over a one-year horizon. For a portfolio of complex derivatives or reinsurance contracts, this requires "Nested Stochastic" simulations—running simulations inside simulations.

  • Current State: 24-hour runtime on grid clusters.
  • Axiom Approach: < 50ms inference time using trained neural approximators.

2. Methodology: The Constrained-Decoder

2.1 Architecture

The core innovation, architected by Meththasena, is the separation of the "Scenario Generator" from the "Valuation Network."

2.2 Preventing Hallucinations

A critical failure mode in Financial AI is "Arbitrage Violation" (e.g., predicting a negative option price). We implemented a "Physics-Informed Loss Function":

$$ L_{total} = L_{MSE} + \lambda \cdot \max(0, V_{liability} - V_{asset}) $$

3. Results: The "Pricing Pilot" Experiment
