This Month in The Actuary

The Acturary Magazine

This month's offering gives a blow-by-blow account of the market turmoil and focuses on pensions risk-sharing and life after QIS4. Check out the website by clicking on the front page above.

Call for paper authors: SIAS is currently looking for volunteers (particularly students or newly qualified) to write and present sessional papers. Papers can be on any actuarially related topic. Click here for more information.

University Students

University students thinking of extending their actuarial experience beyond the lecture theatre may wish to participate in the Staple Inn Actuarial Society.

For a modest outlay (see the latest application form linked on this page for the subscription cost) university student members can expect:

  • A subscription to The Actuary magazine (11 issues a year);
  • Access to free sessional meetings at Staple Inn (London, WC1V 7QJ) which provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of papers in the professional interest (follow this link for further details) and
  • Access to social events (sometimes subsidised, sometimes free) which are based in and around London (follow this link for further details).

University Sponsorship

SIAS sets aside £10,000 each year to sponsor university scholarships in actuarial and related subjects. This fund is designed to support:

  • Postgraduate research into subjects of the actuarial profession's interest and
  • The studies of students of actuarial sciences and the like from disadvantaged backgrounds.

If you are interested in this sponsorship email SIAS at treasurer@sias.org.uk.
