  Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA)

  Society of Actuaries

• (From the SOA) The candidate will be introduced to useful frequency and severity models. The candidate will be required to understand the steps involved in the modeling process including determining a suitable model

  estimating parameters

  and providing measures of confidence. Candidates will also be able to work with aggregate models and credibility models as well as understand the basics of simulation.

  SOA LTAM Exam

  (From the SOA) The syllabus for Exam LTAM develops the candidate's knowledge of the theoretical basis of contingent payment models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. A thorough knowledge of calculus

  probability (as covered in Exam P)

  mathematical statistics (as covered in VEE Mathematical Statistics) and interest theory (as covered in Exam FM) is assumed.

  SOA PA Exam

  (From the SOA) The syllabus for Exam PA provides candidates with the ability to employ selected analytic techniques to solve business problems and effectively communicate the solution. A thorough knowledge of probability (as covered in Exam P)

  mathematical statistics (as covered in VEE Mathematical Statistics)

  selected models and methods for analyzing data (as covered in Exam SRM) is assumed. Credit for Exam SRM is required for PA exam registration.

  (From the SOA) The syllabus for Exam P develops the candidate's knowledge of the fundamental probability tools for quantitatively assessing risk. The application of these tools to problems encountered in actuarial science is emphasized. A thorough command of the supporting calculus is assumed. Additionally

  a very basic knowledge of insurance and risk management is assumed.

  SOA Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice Modules

  (From the SOA) FAP is a self–paced

  e–Learning course composed of eight modules where candidates acquire and use knowledge that is distributed and facilitated by electronic means. This course teaches candidates about the business environment and exposes them to real–world situations by using the Control Cycle as a practical problem–solving framework that applies to all aspects of actuarial work.

  SOA FM Exam

  (From the SOA) The syllabus for Exam FM develops the candidate's understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics

  and how those concepts are applied in calculating present and accumulated values for various streams of cash flows as a basis for future use in: reserving

  valuation

  pricing

  asset/liability management

  investment income

  capital budgeting and valuing contingent cash flows. The candidate will also be given an introduction to financial instruments

  including derivatives

  and the concept of no–arbitrage as it relates to financial mathematics. A basic knowledge of calculus and an introductory knowledge of probability is assumed.

  SOA MFE Exam

  (From the SOA) The syllabus for Exam MFE develops the candidate's knowledge of the theoretical basis of financial models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. A thorough knowledge of calculus

  probability and interest theory is assumed. Knowledge of risk management at the level of Exam P is also assumed.
