Diversity

The benefits of diversity are well documented. At the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) we recognise our responsibility to our members, volunteers, employees and the public as a whole

We will promote diversity in our membership and at the IFoA by recognising the particular contribution that can be made by individuals with a wide range of backgrounds, knowledge and experience.

"As a profession, we can and should recognise diversity to make us stronger."
Nick Salter, 

In his Presidential Address, former President,  Nick Salter, identified three pillars of diversity as being important to us as a profession

These were:

By focusing our efforts on these three areas, we can best support our members and help ensure the long term sustainability of our profession

It is hoped that our work in this area will push the profession forward and help it thrive in the future.

"There is a crucial role for professional bodies, such as the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, to promote diversity as part of our duty to act in the public interest".  
Fiona Morrison, Immediate Past President

To enable us to deliver this support to our members, we work in partnership with our volunteers

    For life insurers in the UK, the risk margin is one of the most controversial aspects of the Solvency II regime. Following its implementation, the risk margin came under considerable criticism for being too large and too sensitive to interest rate movements. These criticisms are particularly valid for annuity business – such business is of great significance to the national system for retirement provision. This criticism has led to political interest, and the risk margin was a major element of the Treasury Committee inquiry into Solvency II.
