A growing profession
Throughout the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region we’re seeing rapid growth in all branches of the actuarial profession. As the actuarial profession becomes more prevalent across the region, more and more people are becoming actuaries every year.
Our aim is to work in partnership with employers, educators and governments to support this growth.

A uniquely valuable skillset
Employers throughout the EMEA region are looking to actuaries to bring the skills that any business needs to succeed in today’s increasingly complex global markets. Becoming a member can open many doors for individuals, helping them and their employers deal with the complexities of these markets.
Our members are highly regarded individuals with a wide range of Mathematical, business development, and analytical skills. They are taught professional problem-solving skills, are able to think strategically and have a deep understanding of financial systems and risk assessment.
"From a young age, I dreamt of a career that would allow me to use my strong mathematical skills in a real-life situation. So my career goal has always been to be an actuary. The use of mathematics to solve problems greatly appeals to me especially when applied to complex real-life situations."
Olawale Ayodeji, Junior Actuarial Specialist: Nigeria (Read our case studies)
Actuaries are employed by some of the region’s largest global businesses, corporations and governments to:
- Make the long-term decisions that underpin sustainable business success
- Use a broad range of skills to translate complex financial information into easy-to-understand advice
- Protect your reputation with our globally recognised code of ethics and regulation
- See the bigger picture, identify all possible outcomes and then define the way forwards based on the evidence
Working with us in Europe, Middle East or Africa couldn't be easier. It starts with a simple conversation:
What is an actuary?
Our members explain the role of an actuary in their own words.
