TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that using profits as a fundamental input is subject to criticism because profits are no actual cash flows and instead of creating more transparency, it could end up in creating more confusion.
Abstract: Since the beginning of the development of the socalled embedded value methodology, actuaries have been using the present value of future profits as yardstick when valuing life insurance activities. However, using profits as a fundamental input is subject to criticism because profits are no actual cash flows. In an attempt to create more transparency and robustness the CFO forum (2008) has set a definition for market consistent embedded value (MCEV). Nevertheless, this definition refers again to the present value of future profits. In this note we show that such a definition is misleading and, instead of creating more transparency, it could end up in creating more confusion. 12
