Is there anyone who knows the nature of the Actuarial Risk Management Award which is awarded to the best performing student for CA1? I would want to know if its just a certificate, or it has a monetary amount and is there an awards event that the winner will attend? Also what is the nature of the Charles M Stern Award, Worshipful Company of Actuaries Award and the ERM Award?
Hi Prosper: it is great that you are aiming high! I am pretty sure that all of these awards have a monetary prize. There is a little more detail about them on the IFoA website (see link below), and that is who you should contact if you need more detailed info. I don't believe that there is a specific awards event, but often if the winner is attending another event (e.g. new qualifiers day) then the prize will be awarded there. https://www.actuaries.org.uk/about-us/recognition-prizes-and-awards/actuarial-examination-prizes
Thank you very much for the information Lindsay. Have written an email to them asking for more information.
