What is an Actuary?
Dustin Turner, ’06
Actuarial Analyst
Actuarial Department
North Pointe Holdings Corporation
In this talk I will give a broad overview of the actuarial profession. Many math majors have heard of the actuarial profession, but few are quite sure of what it entails. I will discuss the process of becoming a credentialed Actuary, while focusing on the responsibilities and perks of entry-level Actuarial Analyst positions. I will also be presenting examples of some fundamental actuarial exercises, including insurance pricing and loss reserving.
