AFIR-ERM Section

AFIR-ERM was founded in 1988 as a Section of the International Actuarial Association (IAA). It stands for Actuarial Approach for Financial Risks and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).

Our objective is to advance the actuarial profession into the financial risks, investments and ERM scopes by:

  • driving innovation and fostering meaningful high-quality research in our scope
  • promoting continuing professional development
  • bridging the gap between academia and industry

We are here to generate value for our members and other professionals working in the financial risks, investments and ERM industries. This is achieved by helping them develop their professional skills, and by engaging with academia and industry to drive innovation and promote meaningful, quality research in the AFIR-ERM related fields.

We want to serve the financial risk, investments and ERM industry globally by ensuring that, when it comes to providing insight and finding solutions to financial risk and ERM issues, our members are trusted and therefore in demand for their valued professional skills.
