Abstract
Actuaries assess risks involved in insurance and pensions, through proper product design, pricing, development of underwriting standards, determination of asset management strategies, claims analysis, and enterprise risk management. The extremely small number of credentialed actuaries in India are in very senior positions, not available for supporting trainees’ education. The University of Waterloo developed an elite program to fast-track high-quality mathematics and engineering graduates through the actuarial credential. The sole use of funds was supporting the students named, and the ultimate impact depends on how successful these individuals are in promoting and developing the Indian actuarial profession.
