Contract Actuary
My Story
I am an actuary focussing on financial risk management. As a contracting actuary I offer independent quality financial analysis.
The 10 years to 2021 I was with the UK Bulk Annuity firm Pension Insurance Corporation where I helped to grow it from a small startup to over £40bn under management. Before that, in 2011 I qualified as a pensions actuary providing valuation services and consulting advice to pension schemes.
The area I focus on is financial risk management, where I have extensive knowledge of Solvency II regulation including Market Risk Capital, the Matching Adjustment discounting mechanism and Investment Modelling.
Key achievements of my career so far have been:
-
Market Risk Capital and Matching Adjustment models built and approved for SII Internal Model
-
Lead on investment modelling system migration for £40bn assets
-
Built and owned financial curve construction platform for multi-currency rate and SII curves
My motivation is to help firms improve their competitiveness and risk management capabilities, and
to assist them in making better products available for customers.
