Rules of Membership

Eligibility

Qualified actuaries who obtained their qualification from the following organisations are eligible for membership once their qualification has been verified:

  • Actuarial Society of South Africa
  • Actuaries Institute of Australia
  • Canadian Institute of Actuaries
  • Casualty Actuarial Society
  • Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (or its precursors: Institute of Actuaries, Faculty of Actuaries)
  • Institute of Actuaries of India
  • Israel Association of Actuaries
  • Society of Actuaries
  • Society of Actuaries in Ireland

These organisations have been chosen because of their broad similarity (as reflected by their connection via bilateral mutual recognition agreements for each organisation above with at least one other organisation above, either equating Associate to Associate, or Fellow to Fellow, or both) and very significant examination requirements in addition to a university degree, and requirements for significant experience of working in an actuarial role.

Individual Qualification Recognition

The company will also consider individual applications under an Individual Qualification Recognition route. Such applications will need to be supported by evidence of having passed broadly similar very significant examination requirements in addition to a university degree, and of significant experience of working in an actuarial role.

Payment of Fees

As specified in the Articles of Association, a continued condition of membership is that any fees due are paid promptly. Membership fees are processed as recurring monthly payments through our payment processor, with pricing changes typically occurring at the start of each calendar year.
