Actuarial principles are the foundation of actuarial science, guiding professionals in assessing, managing, and mitigating financial risks. These principles ensure the effective application of mathematics, statistics, and financial theory to insurance, pensions, and other risk-based industries. Here are the key actuarial principles: 1. Principle of Risk Assessment Actuaries analyze data to estimate the likelihood and financial impact of future uncertain events, such as mortality, accidents, or natural disasters. 2. Principle of Fairness and Equity Premiums and contributions must fairly reflect the risks taken on by policyholders, ensuring equity among customers while maintaining the insurer's sustainability. 3. Principle of Adequacy and Prudence Sufficient reserves must be maintained to cover future claims and liabilities, with conservative assumptions to safeguard against uncertainties. 4. Principle of Present Value The time value of money is a cornerstone, requiring the discounting of future payments or liabilities to their present value using appropriate interest rates. 5. Principle of Diversification Spreading risk across various portfolios, regions, or types of policies helps minimize the impact of adverse events. 6. Principle of Consistency Assumptions and methodologies should remain consistent over time unless significant changes justify adjustments. 7. Principle of Transparency Clear communication of actuarial methods, assumptions, and results is essential to ensure understanding among stakeholders, including management and regulators. 8. Principle of Compliance Actuaries must adhere to regulatory standards, professional codes of conduct, and applicable laws in their calculations and recommendations. 9. Principle of Statistical Modeling Advanced statistical models are employed to analyze past data and predict future trends, incorporating randomness and uncertainty. 10. Principle of Professional Judgment Actuaries apply their expertise and judgment to interpret data, assess risks, and make informed decisions while considering economic, demographic, and societal factors. By following these principles, actuaries contribute to the financial stability and sustainability of organizations, ensuring they can meet their obligations to policyholders and stakeholders.

I am excited to share that I started my journey as a Life Insurance and Takaful Actuarial Consulting Intern at Actuarial Partners Consulting! Over the past two weeks, in addition to working with analysts, I have completed the Core Life Actuarial Practice 1 course provided by the company, which enhanced my foundational knowledge. Some key takeaways include data analysis in three main aspects: checking the accuracy, consistency, and completeness of data. Furthermore, the triangulation framework in loss ratio analysis, which is somewhat similar to the General Insurance studies I undertook in school. However, the development period tends to be shorter, as benefit payments are processed much faster. One interesting new term to share, Premium Holiday, which mostly applies to unit-linked and Takaful savings plans. This enhances policyholders‘ flexibility in allowing them to stop paying premiums by making sure there are sufficient funds to cover various expenses associated with the policy.
