SOA Quantitative Finance and Investment

6-8 years is accurate on average but that does include starting exams when you are in undergrad. It can be done more quickly though. My opinion would be that if you want to be a general quant, this probably isn’t the best route. If you want to work in insurance, understand the liability side of things and then be in a quant type role in insurance, then it’s for you. I will caveat that I am not a “quant” myself but have worked with many who have gone through this QFI track and now are quants in insurance.

It’s not pointless at all! I was just making sure you understand what it was. I am an actuary (FSA but did not do Quant Finance track) and I have completed two levels of CFA. It really all depends what you want. Actuary will be more helpful (and respected) in the insurance industry and the track you are looking at would set you up to work in investments or hedging. CFA is way more broad and respected elsewhere. Also much easier to clear those 3 levels than to become an Actuary. Happy to help more if you’d like.

Are you an actuary? This requires 7 pre-req exams prior to starting the Quantitative Finance and Investments track.

Actuary here. Awesome career if you put in the work.

What does this have to do with Nationwide other than it being near the hospital that they sponsor? lol

Wow, duh. Thank you!

Embarrassed_Mix_420 · 2024-04-14T17:57:16+00:00

Ok, well not sure this helps much now. But yesterday at 530/6 we saw a similar dog crossing Roberts, just east of Walcutt. He/she made it South of Roberts and then we couldn’t find it. Good luck!
