Who is an Actuary?

Ms. Gunatilleke’s expertise and real-world experience have brought immense value to the certificate program.

Mastery of RBC enables me to assess the capital adequacy and solvency of insurance companies comprehensively, aligning investment strategies with portfolio objectives while effectively managing risks.
In sum, the Actuarial Training Certificate has markedly honed my analytical prowess and furnished invaluable insights for appraising insurance companies as viable investment prospects. Armed with this knowledge, I am equipped to make prudent decisions as a fund manager, optimizing returns while navigating the dynamic landscape of investment risks. I wholeheartedly endorse this certificate to those seeking to deepen their understanding of the insurance industry’s implications for investment analysis.”
