Event details
A lecture by Nigel Masters, sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Actuaries.
All our futures are packed with risks - environmental, financial, social, political. So making a career out of understanding and managing risk may just be ... low risk.
Nigel Masters reflects on how actuaries have succeeded and failed to manage risk over his forty years in the actuarial profession and why it might be a good career for the next forty years.
