We support major modelling platforms and languages to meet the needs of our clients in respect of cashflow modelling (deterministic and stochastic); credit risk modelling; impairment modelling and securitisation modelling, amongst others.

As part of one of the world’s largest actuarial practices, we have access to over 800 actuarial professionals worldwide which ensures that we can secure the specialist knowledge and expertise our clients require.

The actuarial team in Dublin is made up of excellent people that I truly enjoy working with. Everyone on the team was welcoming and happy to help me learn the ropes from day one. Almost two years in, I still learn something new from my teammates every day.
