Actuary


An actuary is an insurance specialist who is trained in mathematics and conducts various statistical studies. For example, an actuary calculates the premiums needed to pay the death benefits under a term life insurance policy by looking at historical mortality trends. On permanent policies, such as whole life, universal life or annuities, the actuary determines how much money the company needs today to ensure it can pay benefits due under your policy in the future.
