As actuaries we execute Risk management by the book. We dive deep into the tails of our risk sea and try to catch every small risk until we reach the value of the Planck constant.

This crisis forces us not only to dive deep but also to look at the high mountains of economic risks and emotional winds.....In other words, to survive the next decades, we... Read more
