Predictions


Predictions is the future-gazing thought leadership sub-brand of The Actuary covering emerging trends within the insurance, finance and actuarial sectors.

It offers topical insight, commentary and analysis on the risks, challenges and opportunities the industry is facing, and discusses some of the biggest and most impactful drivers for social and economic change.

In previous issues we have explored:

Rise of the machines - how digital and technological advances are transforming existing business models and creating new ones.

Challenges to the way we think  -  how political and social unheaval requires rethinking, resilience, and rebuilding.

In our latest issue, in collaboration with Milliman, we discuss the existential threat that is Climate Risk.

Welcome to the Autumn 2020 issue.
