This teleconference will be presented by Hugh Karp, Founder of Nexus Mutual, FIA 

Through its Actuarial Research Centre (ARC), and in partnership with the Society of Actuaries and the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, the IFoA is sponsoring a research programme that seeks to develop a new generation of mortality and morbidity models, with a specific focus on the drivers for mortality.

Join this webinar to hear more from Co-Investigators of this research programme, Dr Torsten Kleinow (Heriot-Watt University) and Dr George Streftaris (Heriot-Watt University).

Through its Actuarial Research Centre (ARC), the IFoA is sponsoring a research programme that seeks explore the decision-making of institutional investors, in particular insurers and pension schemes, and the biases that may affect their investment decisions.

Join this webinar to hear more from the Principal Investigator of this research programme, Professor Peter Ayton (City, University of London) and co-researcher Dr. Iain Clacher (University of Leeds).

The UN’s 17 global goals for sustainable development and their associated targets would eradicate all forms of poverty, in developed and developing nations, by 2030. Achieving the goals would have a transformative effect on the lives of all, right across the world. 

The event will be appealing to girls who are interested in pursuing a career in STEM and therefore potentially a career as an actuary.

This is the first event in a series of events we will be holding over the next year to promote diversity in the profession. 

The diversity of retirement and healthcare needs in an ever more challenging ecosystem of providers, payors and members, is pushing us to look for multi-disciplinary ideas and solutions.  How will technology transform the playing field?  What relevance will this have for actuaries? 

This year, our stellar line-up of thought leaders and practitioners sharing their ideas, experiences and solutions includes Dr Bern Shen and Mr Soh Chin Heng as keynote speakers with Vincent Lepez, Rosaline Koo, Colin Priest, Dr Tan Geok Leng, Christopher Gee and many others.

In this half-day workshop the Life Board and Life Lifelong Learning Sub-committee will provide a detailed understanding of the key concepts of the standard, as well as thought provoking sessions on how implementation will impact people, process and systems. We will also share views on how the new standard will change the way insurers are viewed in the market, and share perspectives from within and outside of the profession. 

The rapid convergence of the skilled human with the intelligent machine is changing business models and transforming the playing field at breath-taking speed. It is no longer a question of “what if” but rather one of “so how”. In 2016 the futures based documentary, The Incredible Curious Adventure, explored how South African insurers were attempting to answer this challenge. In 2017 the research went global with alternative findings on how the world not only views this future but is adapting to survive and succeed in this exponential space. This session presented by Peter Temple, Gen Re, shares highlights of the global documentary and new emerging insights.

The Risk Management in a Digital World Working Party will present their report and findings at the Sessional Research event on 22 October, and will use the opportunity to launch their “Guide for Risk Considerations During the Innovation Journey”, in order to support the further development of risk considerations in decision making throughout the InsurTech investment process.

The event may be of interest to actuaries and risk practitioners working in the innovation and digital teams of insurance companies, as well as to those who have an interest in InsurTech and digital developments more generally.

Join our international experience networking event to understand more about how working overseas has helped our members to develop their career.  At this event you will have the opportunity to hear first hand from a number of members who have worked overseas.  They will share their experiences not only of actuarial work overseas, but their practical experience of living and working overseas, what they w

These seminars cover current issues and highlights in the UK pensions sector.

Actuaries are well placed to introduce data science techniques into their toolkits and organisations as we equip the profession for the future. This one-day conference builds on recent IFoA events and is a call to action for actuaries and students in all practice areas interested in this exciting topic.

Registration NOW OPEN for the IFoA's forthcoming Autumn Lecture with speaker and former Financial Services Secretary (sometimes referred to as City Minister) in HM treasury, Lord Myners.

This event is also being live streamed online and is available to members and non members. Please register here to book for the live stream.

This talk will explore on the potential opportunities for actuaries given developments in AI, in traditional and wider fields. What might they be and how do we harness and create them? Do we need to evolve to stay relevant? Against a backdrop of broader technological developments, this session will explore audience views and ideas. The aim is to get us all thinking and talking about how we can embrace and lead technology change for a better future for our clients, society and for long and prosperous careers.
