• The Actuarial and Educational Research Fund (AERF) is interested in your suggestions on projects which you feel need doing.
  • Have you something in mind which is probably beyond the scope of an actuary working in his spare time?
  • AERF is an organization which was incorporated in June 1976. It is managed by 12 trustees, two from each of six actuarial sponsoring bodies.
    • These are the American Academy of Actuaries, the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, the Casualty Actuarial Society, the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice, the Fraternal Actuarial Association and the Society of Actuaries.
  • The purpose of AERF is to advance the knowledge of actuarial science and respond to the needs of the public for education and research in actuarial science by coordinating and/or conducting research and studies, by conducting educational programs, by stimulating the production and dissemination of educational material and by undertaking such other activities as may seem desirable to achieve the stated goals.
• AERF expects to act as a catalyst to bring together:
  • the project -- a worthwhile activity to be done;
  • the researcher -- a person qualified to do the project, and
  • the funds donated by parties interested in having the research done.
