Our Story

Our Story — Singapore Actuarial Society

Founded in 1976, the Singapore Actuarial Society (SAS) was established at a time when the actuarial profession was little known in Singapore and the number of qualified actuaries was small. A pioneering group of professionals came together with a shared vision: to build a recognised professional community and advance actuarial standards in Singapore.

Founding members (1976):

N. Handa · A. T. Shimpi · Leong Teck Kut · B. P. Gupta · Tan Kin Lian · Robert Lian · Law Song Keng · F. J. D’Costa · A. Street · P. W. A. Dayananda · Robert Fung · Peter Lee · Pearly Lim · K. Manivasagan · George Tay · Yeo Boon Tong

Over the decades, SAS has grown alongside the profession it represents. Milestones such as the adoption of a new Constitution in July 1996 and the Code of Professional Conduct in November 1997 marked important steps in strengthening professional standards and promoting the study of actuarial science in Singapore. A significant refresh of the Constitution took effect on 1 April 2022, reflecting the Society’s continued evolution to meet the needs of a modern profession.

Today, SAS aims to be the recognised representative body of the actuarial profession in Singapore, with the authority to set and uphold professional standards for its members.

SAS is a society registered with the Singapore Registry of Societies under UEN S76SS0051K.

At that time, the actuarial profession was little known in Singapore and there were only a handful of qualified actuaries. The adoption of the new Constitution in July 1996 and
the Code of Professional Conduct in November 1997 was the fruition of efforts made in the past two decades to promote the study of actuarial science and professional
standards. There was a significant refresh of the Constitution which took effect from 1 April 2022.

Under the purview of the Operations Committee, the History Working Party was formed in 2022 and the SAS donated some of its founding documents to the National Library Board for archival.
