As an organization with over 11,000 members worldwide, the CAS has an ambitious mission and a wide range of interests. From advancing the knowledge of actuarial science to maintaining standards of qualification for membership, a great deal of work goes into executing the core objectives of the organization. While there are nearly 60 full-time staff at the CAS working hard every day to bring the CAS Strategic Plan to life, the basic functions of our organization could not happen without the spirit of volunteerism that is alive and well among our members and candidates.

Whether it’s a candidate’s first or tenth time failing, the experience never gets easier and can often feel deeply isolating.
I know what you’re thinking. An actuary? Bad at math? How is that possible? Crazy, but it’s true. If you were to see my college transcript (featuring a D+ in continuous probability and a C in calculus), you would be wondering how I made it past Exam P, let alone got my ACAS. Spoiler alert: it’s not about how naturally smart you are, it’s about how much effort you’re willing to put in.

This presentation will investigate the balance between maintaining accurate risk differentiation and ensuring equitable treatment among various classes of interest when certain rating variables are restricted or banned through regulation.
