Quantitative Finance and Actuarial Science

The central theme of Quantitative Finance and Actuarial Science is risk management, which is nowadays usually based upon explicitly quantitative models. Investors apply risk management to weight risk against return, insurers apply it to limit their risks by calculating the appropriate premiums, and option traders balance their books by calculating the sensitivities of their positions with respect to the relevant risk factors.

For students who want to continue in Actuarial Science towards the title of Actuaris AG (fully qualified actuary), the QFAS program is an excellent preparation for the part-time Executive Master in Actuarial Science which is offered by TiasNimbas, the business school of Tilburg University, together with the Dutch Actuarial Institute.
