Actuarial Pensions Graduate Programme

Programme overview

A fast-changing world can create a lot of opportunity for businesses, but it also creates new risks. We offer our clients leading advice on pension risk. Our teams work within a multi-disciplinary environment across a number of specialist areas, covering a range of industry sectors. The global nature of our business allows our people to develop and grow based on their own personal goals and objectives.

Technology and innovation are key in delivering solutions to our clients. We use actuarial valuation and liability modelling software to help clients understand their pension risk. We have also developed apps and platforms for clients using Python and “R”.
