Emerging risks redefine actuarial domain – Asian Actuarial Conference

At the Asian Actuarial Conference 2026, experts said actuarial work must evolve as once-isolated risks become more interconnected, frequent and difficult to price. From climate change and longevity to AI and geopolitical uncertainty, actuaries are being called on to combine technical expertise, critical thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration to strengthen resilience.

Adapted from “Emerging risks redefine actuarial domain” by Sarah Si, published in Asia Insurance Review, October 2026.

Highlights

Disciplinary Scheme - Members Consultation

SAS’ disciplinary scheme (“DS”) plays an important role in how the SAS upholds the standards and reputation of the profession.  It has been almost twenty years since the SAS’ DS was last updated.  A Task Force was therefore set up in April to propose a new DS for SAS.

SAS used the guidelines published by the International Actuarial Association as a starting point to ensure that we have considered all the key elements that a DS should contain.  We have also made reference to the practices of major actuarial associations around the world, and the disciplinary frameworks of other regulated professions in Singapore.

In the proposed DS that we are now opening for consultation, improvements have been made to the independence of decision-making bodies, measures to address conflict of interest, and clarity on operational rules.
