The Chinese Actuarial Network UK (CANUK) is pleased to announce that Steven Yang Yu has been appointed to replace Feifei Zhang as the network's president.

Yang Yu, who is a Fellow of the IFoA, is currently co-managing Redington's award winning team of quantitative asset liability management (ALM) analysts. In recent years, he has become a member of Redington's executive committee and influences the firm's strategic direction. 

Ji Yao and Haijing Wang will continue their roles as vice-presidents of the network in the UK and China, respectively; and William Wu is appointed as general secretary.

Ex-president Feifei Zhang will soon be returning to China to pursue new challenges. CANUK would like to thank all the committee members for their leadership and support of the network and to wish them the very best of luck in future.

 Details of the committee can be found on the CANUK page on the IFoA website at bit.ly/1TJhzi0
