2. Vision and Values
Actuaries in 2020 will work in a much wider range of businesses than at present. The actuarial training will be highly attractive as the basis for a career in finance with its distinctive emphasis on questions of financial and other uncertainty. The profession will be known for its objective and responsible views on current issues.

3. Achieving the Vision
Actuaries need a better understanding of investment
We need more involvement from investment professionals
We need to devote more resources to the investment area
Life and Pensions Actuaries need exposure to investment ideas and research
