Heterogeneous membership in decumulation only CDC plans
zhlédnutí 247Před rokem
Decumulation-only CDC plans provide a retirement income to their members. They do this primarily by pooling longevity risk among the members. Previous results in this research programme established that decumulation-only CDC plans should be open to new members, to ensure sufficient longevity risk pooling. When new members are the same as each other, then the results suggest that only about 100 ...

While climate change is global, Africa is disproportionately vulnerable to its effects. The continent has contributed negligibly to the changing climate, with only around 2-3% of global emissions, yet it stands out disproportionately as the most vulnerable region in the world, driven by the prevailing low levels of socio-economic growth in the continent.

Excellent lecture on giving clarity for biodiversity application in Nature from an Actuarial perspective.
The RIGHT thing to do is make carbon energy uninsurable.
Those who pay for your services aren’t listening to you or Mother Nature. Bon Voyage!
Why this profession is so underrated???!!!
awesome!!!!
Inspiring
Is it ok to start at 45 + for actuar6
Why is this monetized :(
I’m a bit of a dinosaur and prefer FIA, also good you’re adding more recognition to Associate level. Nonetheless I get why you want to revamp the designations.
A few other countries have tended to add more weight to associate level. Plus not all actuaries go for fellowship.

I miss the time when the institute was the body for UK actuaries. Not world police. Concentrated on pensions and insurance. Not social issues Until 90% of the UK can even recognise the word actuary and 50% know what we do, this public awareness should be the priority. Not 1/3rd of the effort being hippy issues.
The climate crisis is a key destabilising externality that one way or another will impact our client/company outcomes. It would be inappropriate to ignore this on the grounds we might be seen to agree with hippies.
@@AK-Scdsv Difference between ignore and "Every month, two of the 5 articles in the magazine. About same % of institute talks." Is it a key factor for a pension fund? Or a car insurer? Or critical illness provider? Partly for their investments, no and no. Is climate change a top 10 issue for a DB funding position?

Greatly explained
If the main objective is to raise the profile, recognition of what an actuary is in the UK. A valid goal. Maybe just spend more effort on that than trying to be an "Actuary world police" and banging on about climate change?
At £1 @ litre The four year return on a pedestrian account ( being paid close to the full market force of driving) is £400,000 . The account can be managed in a paper book. A card is a suitable option for payment. The breathable air in cities will improve immediately.
There is a massive inconsistency in the President's Q&A video (see 36:43 at czcams.com/video/hRwtxYA_6EM/video.html) where in answer to the perfectly reasonable question "why can't students vote on this?", he says "that's just what the bye-laws say, it's not a choice we can make. It's in our constitution that students don't get a vote". Yet members are being asked to vote to do exactly that (change the constitution via changing the byelaws) to make this name change! This change affects students just as much as Associates and Fellows, so why shouldn't they have a say in it? Particularly when the IFoA says that the name change will not dilute standards. The President's answer makes no sense: the IFoA could (and should in my opinion) propose a change to the bye-laws to allow students to vote on this (and in principle any issue other than one which would enable the exam standards to be diluted). Isn't the real answer that the IFoA either don't want students to be able to vote on this, or care more about trying to change the name (a relatively trivial matter) than they care about giving students a say? i've said recently that I see no reason why students shouldn't be able to vote in actuarial organisations on matters that affect them directly, in fact probably on all matters except those which would enable exam standards to be diluted (where there is an obvious moral hazard). At the moment, students get a poor deal from the IFoA with social media regularly showing strong dissatisfaction with regard to unpredictable exam setting, poor and inconsistent marking, some arrogant comments by examiners in examiner reports, and (despite being "new and improved") the website crashing regularly on results days. On top of that there is a lack of transparency with regard to how exam pass marks are set, the length of time it takes to reach Associate and Fellow level, and the student dropout rate. To me, the poor deal students currently get is probably a direct consequence of the fact that they don't have a vote. If the IFoA want to improve things, wouldn't it be better for them to draw up a proposal to give students a vote (in all areas apart from ones affecting the degree of skill and knowledge needed to be an associate or fellow), address the poor deal currently given to students, and only then to move on to relatively minor things like changing the name?
A very fair point
Why should the students vote? Why are you even discussing this ? By allowing students to vote is the same as allowing any tourist to vote in an election!! If you do not understand this, I am glad that people like you are not voting simply because you do not have the brains to qualify.
So a 21 year old, of which we know a huge chunk won't be working as an actuary in 10 years time not just won't qualify, should have the same say as a qualified (real, not associate) with X years PQE? Would have more sympathy for "Students with 5 years of relevant work experience....". Personally I'd still say no, but has some credit.
Daniel. You can argue that point from the other side. A 90 year old FIA who retired 25 years earlier at age 65 and has not even familiar with the 3 times the exams have changed in that time... gets to vote and yet a student who may qualify needing 2 or 3 more passes doesn't.
@@finenebula Very true. Maybe "Full subscription paying...." is the answer.
Incentives to walk .. £400,000 (£1€$ for every litre of embedded water in a car) EVERY 3 YEARS ( because that's the planned obsolescenc sales cycle. ) That gives every child €£$1.2M at the age of 9. They can fund their parents from that? So their parents don't fall out? 216M steps could also use analogue to digital cashflow across businesses, sectors in real time. It would reduce cash flow blow out where insolvency causes stressful situations in the markets.
Is being an actuary halal
Great explanation of the actuarial profession! We asked the same question to random people on the streets of London. Check out how many people it took to define what an actuary is: czcams.com/video/lgjHtt62ITU/video.html
Do you know that Which Actuarial model is prefer to analyse the solars ( non living things).? I want to analyse cost and future benefits of solar power system, using actuarial model.
It's all about control ...and cutting more jobs...I doubt anyone on that panel has ever known real hardship .
Why is 20% of this on green agenda? Why is 20% of the magazine each month on green issues? And say nothing on "Mortalith improvements seem to be slowing." Which enormously impact pension affordability, is actually what actuaries are experts in / relevant. When were we asked "Do you want the institute to focus a huge chunk of its resources on climate change? Rather than mortality statistics." If people want to join a political green activist organisation. They can join a political green activist organisation.

Why is the IFOA facing a judicial review??? Why are 3 of the IFOA disciplinary team members facing disciplinarians by their own legal regulators (SLCC)??? As for actuatries doing the right thing... How do yo explain the price walking???
What have the IFOA got to be proud of. The head of disciplinary Investigations Mr Michael Scott and his boss, the General Counsel Mr Ben Kemp are both potentially facing disciplinary action themselves through their own legal regulator. This vid resembles something out of a cult. cough -- Damage limitation..Cough..... With all due respect, this person has some boring hobbies...
How can you be proud when the Institute is currently breaching the Equality Act as demonstrated in court, is facing a judicial review for challenging the free speech of its own Council members and it’s executive members are facing disciplinary actions themselves after running sham disciplinary actions against members that have complained about the profession. There is nothing to be proud about at all.
The IFoA have been convicted of racial discrimination against British members. They have fallen foul on several counts of the Equality Act. There is nothing to be proud about and those running the profession have damaged the reputation of members
The head of disciplinary Investigations Mr Michael Scott and his boss, the General Counsel Mr Ben Kemp are both potentially facing disciplinary action themselves through their own legal regulator. What is there to be proud of? The IFoA disciplinary process is a sham and should be immediately suspended while those that run it are under investigation for professional misconduct themselves

Advantage and disadvntge of cash less
How do Insurers handle war damages?
Actuaries use Statistics to evaluate risk of Insurance companies and Pension schemes. Math skills are primarily required for passing exams ,the everyday work is generally monotonous and done on computer especially for students..
Certainty a gap in the retirement space and lots of scope for innovation. Managing the cohorts and navigating TCF will be key.
Which all degree can be used to become a actuary?
Can someone share the ppts

Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GreenHouse Gases and it becomes much like the Moon, an arid, barren rock ball with no water vapor, clouds, snow, ice or oceans, no more 30% albedo, hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (95 K) on the dark. That is NOT what Radiative GreenHouse Effect theory says. It is what Nikolov, Kramm, and UCLA Diviner say. The K-T diagram (TFK_bams90) counts 63 W/m^2 upwelling Long Wave InfraRed twice: 160 - 17 - 80 = 63 once and 396 - 333 = 63 second. LoT1 allows only one, the real one from the sun. Erase the 396/333/63 from the graphic, the balance is unaffected and the GHG warming loop disappears. 342 arrives from the sun, net albedo 70% or 240 makes it into the atmosphere, net/net 160 arrives at the surface. Per LoT1 160 is ALL!! that can leave. The 396 is “extra” appearing out of nowhere. The 396 is a theoretical “What if?” calculation for a BB at 16 C serving as the denominator of the emissivity ratio: 63/396=0.16. IR instruments do not measure power flux, they measure temperature and infer W/m^2 by assuming emissivity and assuming 1.0 or .95 is assuming wrong. As demonstrated by experiment the surface cannot and does not radiate as a BB and as such there is no “extra” energy for the GHGs to warm or do whateveh. For the experimental write up see: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ ZERO RGHE, ZERO GHG warming, ZERO CAGW or CO2 driven climate change.
