Description:
Welcome to this month’s edition of the Actuarial Post magazine and the launch of our Actuarial Post Awards 2024. This will be the 12th year of running the awards and each year they become more popular with ever increasing numbers nominated and voted upon. This year we welcome our new sponsor, award winning specialist insurer of DB pensions, Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC), for sponsoring Actuary of the Year 2024, alongside our long term sponsor partners Bolton Associates, sponsoring GI Actuary of the Year 2024 and Star Actuarial Futures for sponsoring both Stars of the Future 2024 and Sustainability Actuary of the Year 2024. The awards websites are now open to accept this year’s nominations.
Our cover story comes from Jon Jacobson from Omnisient who looks at applications of Privacy-Preserving Data Collaboration (PPDC) for actuaries. We also have an article from Neil Gunn and Daniel Bannister from WTW reporting on extreme droughts and the growing challenge for global supply chains.
In a packed magazine our regular authors tackle subjects, among others, from Sam Marsh from LexisNexis Risk also looking at data and with an article on tapping into the data trinity of quote, history, and claims. Ed Harrison from LCP examines motor and home insurance performance predictions.
We look forward to welcoming you back next month and in addition we welcome your nominations for this year’s Awards.
