Practical Applications of AI for Investment Actuaries Working Party – Deputy Chair and members

Application closing date: 25 January 2026

The IFoA is seeking to appoint a Deputy Chair and members to the newly formed Practical Applications of AI for Investment Actuaries Working Party. We would welcome applications from both members and suitably experienced non-members. 

The working party aims to explore practical examples of how investment actuaries can use different AI applications in their day-to-day work. The group will publish a series of short articles or blogs highlighting each application. These are expected to cover a range of topics, including but not limited to asset allocation, hedging, manager selection and reporting.

We are keen to hear from actuaries and other professionals working in investment funds, asset owners as well as investment consultants with an interest in the topic. Previous experience using AI is not required but a basic understanding of the different types of applications and their limitations would be beneficial.
