A History of British Actuarial Thought

Craig Turnbull, an Investment Director at Standard Life Investments, has kindly agreed to give a talk to the Society on his recently published book 'A History of British Actuarial Thought'.

The book covers a broad range of actuarial topics from the mid-seventeenth century to the present day, and will cover a number of issues that are especially relevant to life actuaries and those working in investment and risk management such as:

• Illiquid asset investing in late 19th century British life offices
• The actuarial development and application of market risk management techniques such as immunization and dynamic asset allocation in the 1950s
• The development of risk-based capital modelling and its application to cash maturity guarantees and GAOs in the latter twentieth century

Please join us for what we hope will be an interesting evening. Purchase a copy of Craig's book.
