Chartered Actuary for members

Be chartered, be seen. What Chartered Actuary status means for you

 

Why choose Chartered Actuary?

Chartered status is a widely recognised mark of regulatory distinction. It shows that you have achieved exceptional levels of expertise and adhere to stringent professional standards.

It’s a way to distinguish yourself. Currently, anyone doing actuarial work may call themselves an actuary, regardless of their qualifications.

Chartered status is only available to IFoA members who have achieved actuarial qualifications.

Claiming chartered status will:

  • demonstrate that you’re at the top of your game and protect your professional standing
  • enhance your status and highlight your achievements
  • assure clients, employers and wider audiences that you adhere to globally recognised professional standards
  • improve employer perception of our profession and enhance employment opportunities
  • broaden understanding of actuarial work in non-traditional work settings

Give your skills and hard-earned qualifications maximum visibility by claiming chartered status.

Be chartered. Be seen.

Masimba Zata’s actuarial career sprang, like many others, from a love of maths. But while it had a traditional beginning, he’s now working in a decidedly non-traditional field.

“My career started off in pensions, then went into insurance,” he says. “I worked for various companies before moving into the technology sector with Moody's.

“I’m now a subject matter expert in the development of actuarial software, with an active role in the development of software products as well as managing and supporting my team.”
