"Advising funeral trusts - avoiding the pitfalls and not getting burnt" 

In response to our members feedback, for our 2020 programme we are planning 3 talks that explore the work the actuaries do in non traditional actuarial fields. The 1st talk in the trilogy will be presented by Graeme Muir and Nigel Sloan who will cover some of the issues you might need to think about if asked to advise a funeral trust or a similar body - neither pensions nor life assurance.

Speaker: Dr Marc Roper

The IFoA hosts regular roundtable meetings with the PRA on best practice in insurance investment and the application of the Prudent Person Principle, which governs insurance investment under Solvency II.

These roundtables are organised by the IFoA’s Finance and Investment Practice Board, supporting its members with access to relevant information on industry and regulatory developments. They have been attended by a diverse group of IFoA members, including insurance CIOs and Heads of ALM, actuarial and investment consultants, insurance asset managers, and investment bankers. 

The world of Data Science continues to exponentially grow with unknown limits and  where it can reach. However, without data we will all still face these challenges in our day to day life.

The IFoA and its Social Impact Investment Working Party are delivering a webinar to introduce social impact investing not only to actuaries but also to external stakeholders. The presenters will use their international experience of this significant and growing market to:

• clarify often confusing terminology
• describe key trends, and
• explore the ways in which actuaries can contribute in this field.

Speaker: Iain Collier, Chair of the CSWP

The talk will look to cover the following: Progression towards a Cashless Society • Developments home and overseas • Benefits, Risks and Issues • Crypto Currencies and Central Bank Digital Currencies.

There will be an extended Q&A session at the end of the event.

What are the advantages of using artificial intelligence (AI) in investing? What are the differences between traditional quant and AI? This new webinar, part of a series of four webinars leading to the annual Finance & Investment Conference 2020, discusses challenges and the future of AI in the investment sector.

This event will be live streamed from Edinburgh.
