Strategic Themes A.1: Research

Produce and support research that expands the boundaries of actuarial science

Other Information:

The SOA is primarily an education and research organization. This objective speaks to the importance of research as part of the SOA’s strategy of providing ”best-in-market” knowledge. This strategy requires a commitment to directly produce or indirectly support research that broadens and deepens the profession’s knowledge frontier in both new fields and in established areas of practice. Strong repository and access capabilities are also required, so that both researchers and practitioners can build upon the current knowledge base. This objective reflects a commitment to maintain the timeliness of foundational experience studies and to evolve those studies to reflect changes in business practice. Finally, the SOA must evaluate the current and future benefit of any given research initiative in order to prioritize and invest thoughtfully in those that can best drive forward the vision of the organization.
