Careers talk at Beijing Technology and Business University (BTBU)

On 31 May, Xiaoxuan (Sherwin) Li, a Career Ambassador for the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) in China, visited the Beijing Technology and Business University (BTBU).

He made a presentation about the actuarial profession and hot topics in the current insurance industry to the students of the Risk Management and Insurance Department.  He introduced the IFoA and the development of the actuarial profession in the world. Then he talked about some hot topics in the current insurance market of China, including the transition from Premium Income Taxation to Value Added Taxation, Motor insurance reform and China's first Catastrophe Bond. 

All the students enjoyed hearing the latest from a member of the actuarial profession and we hope that several will have been inspired to pursue an actuarial career.
