The Society of Actuaries has launched a research division that promises to develop and fund research that “elevates actuaries as leaders in measuring and managing risk. ”
The group said the SOA Research Institute will develop objective, peer-reviewed, data-driven research, managed by experienced actuaries and research experts from a broad range of industries.
“The SOA Research Institute will focus on impactful research that covers timely and emerging topics, and that taps into the knowledge of actuaries to address challenging risks affecting the world around us,” said R. Dale Hall, managing director of the SOA Research Institute.
The Institute’s research will focus on six areas: aging and retirement; actuarial innovation and technology; mortality and longevity; diversity, equity and inclusion; health care cost trends; and catastrophe and climate risk.
