The Introductory Predictive Modeling Limited Attendance Seminar [PMLAS-1] focuses on the practical issues involved in analyzing insurance data and building predictive models. Only basic recall of the statistical concepts features on actuarial exams will be presupposed, and significant time will be spent on "ground up, first principles" discussions of Ordinary Least Squares Regression and Generalized Linear Models.

Today CAS released results from a comprehensive survey of members of CAS Student Central, the CAS’s membership program for university students, to provide insight into virtual recruitment practices. The survey, released in infographic form, provides key information for actuarial hiring managers, candidate program coordinators, and recruiters about the career preferences for the actuarial talent pipeline.

The Property & Casualty Insurance industry has experienced notable increases in loss trends in recent years that are likely attributable to the impacts of social inflation and emerging mass torts. This Webinar will discuss some of the underlying societal and legal trends driving these emerging costs, as well as the operational considerations associated with them (claims, actuarial/reserving, accounting).
This webinar is 90 minutes.
Note: Registration form is best viewed in Internet Explorer.
When registering for this event online, please select your reg type to see the event fees available.
This webinar is complimentary to non-North American audiences in the CAS.
The CAS will be publishing two books by Jacque Friedland. The next syllabus update will include both Jacque’s new publication on reinsurance and an update to the exam 5 reserving textbook, both critical to our industry. We are looking for volunteers to do a technical review of exhibits with numeric examples. A general actuarial knowledge of reserving practice and techniques and/or reinsurance are required. Members and candidates are encouraged to apply for this opportunity as all volunteer editors will have their name published in the list of contributors to the books.
During this session, we will share data visualization principles from prominent authors and demonstrate the utilization of various design techniques. The session will compare “before” and “after” visualizations to demonstrate improvement in effectively communicating the actuary’s message. We hope to inspire the audience to consider graphing design alternatives.

Similar to other professions, upon receiving ACAS and FCAS credentials, you are required to maintain a certain number of continuing education (CE) hours each year (a useful video on CE requirements can be found on the New Members page of the CAS website.)
I started my journey as an actuary four years ago. Now, just two exams away from receiving my Fellowship, I have been able to reflect on the age-old question I receive from family and friends alike: Was it worth it? Here are a few aspects of the actuarial profession that have led me to believe the answer is yes.
Studying for more than one sitting of my final two CAS exams, I noticed a number of changes to the syllabus. At the time I was studying, there was a major change that involved renumbering of Exams 8 and 9 and shifting of the syllabus learning objectives related to profitability provision between exams. But another interesting thing occurs with the syllabus where learning objectives do not change but the associated readings do.

As candidates try to prepare for each upcoming exam, one of the most common questions asked is, "How should I go about getting ready?" Entry-level candidates know what's worked for them in high school and college; however, actuarial exams are quite different. Mid-level candidates know what worked for preliminary exams but written-answer exams require a different approach. In the end, everyone is looking for ways to make the studying process both efficient and effective.
Whether you are starting a new exam, have decided to change up your study strategy for another attempt at your old nemesis, or something in between, you may have overlooked an important resource for "new-to-you" study tips and tricks. Hook up your flux capacitor, jump in your T.A.R.D.I.S., or activate your tachyon drive and follow me back in time to the Future Fellows archives!
I bet the idea to take two exams during one sitting flits across the minds of most candidates at some point during their exam journey. It sounds so tempting to shave six months or more off of your ultimate travel time, but setting aside more hours to study than you already do for one exam is quite the deterrent. Most candidates tend to stick with one exam at a time, but some candidates attempt and pass two in one sitting.
As a candidate, your time is precious. Each moment needs to be efficient and effective. For example, if you are going to dedicate any of your valuable time to volunteer efforts, you want to make sure that it is meaningful and lasting. The Actuarial Foundation provides just such an opportunity!
