Actuaries In Action

If you're like most business leaders, you’re flooded with data. Crucially, there are business changing insights trapped in that data.

Data is in high demand. But not as high as the people who can make sense of it.

A recent McKinsey study estimated a US short-fall of up to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills. Harvard Business Review agrees adding that 'Data Scientists' will be the 'Rock Stars' of the 21st century. In Australia, they're known as an actuary. They have the skills to dig beneath the rhetoric to find pure, honest insights hidden in business data. Insights which are then used to change businesses, industries and even countries.

Check out real world examples of actuaries in action.

For super funds it safeguards liquidity. For retirees it safeguards their ultimate payday.

The superannuation landscape is constantly evolving – mergers, acquisitions, innovation, legislation changes. In contrast, fund members’ priorities haven’t changed – they simply want good returns in a risk-free environment. Thanks to an Actuary’s extensive Financial Condition Report, one super fund of over 100,000 members identified the key components of its reserves and redistributed them in a fair and equitable manner. As a result, liquidity is now safeguarded and retirement is even more tempting. The world isn’t black and white, but business decisions are.

When you need clarity in a complex world, you need an Actuary.
