Together, we're delivering impact in a changed world

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) is the voice of actuaries, committed to advocating for you, our members, across financial services and the wider world.

Our goal is to demonstrate the unique value that the actuarial profession brings to successful business outcomes. We want governments and policymakers to have a greater understanding of actuarial expertise and experience, and of your value in solving the major problems our societies face.

The past year could not have been a more powerful example of that value.

The pandemic changed the world almost overnight, upending business models and societies globally, and transforming how we all live, work and interact.

We are on a path to rethink, reset and refocus on supporting the profession to maximise its impact, ensuring the vital skills actuaries bring are understood, appreciated and utilised in the public interest.

In this report, you can read about the impact actuaries have made during this extraordinary period in our world’s history.

Not only have actuaries helped to lead the fightback against Covid-19, but you have also driven the conversation about how we can shape a more just, sustainable, and equitable global community, now and in the future.

Making a shared investment in the public interest, and ‘doing good’ through upholding high standards and helping to address society’s biggest challenges as a trusted thought leader, means this focus on impact will remain at the heart of what we do.

And there’s much more to come.
