Momentum Group Actuarial Academy

The Momentum Group Actuarial Academy was established to support our growing actuarial community.

We walk the journey with our actuarial youth bursary students by providing financial aid, study support and guidance to help them reach their academic and career goals. Candidates are also provided with the opportunity to participate in our vacation work programme and to receive mentorship from our employed actuarial students and qualified actuaries.

Upon graduation, they can join the business and further develop their specialist skills and confidence, as part of our in-house Actuarial Development Programme. This programme equips graduates with the resources and support required to complete their remaining actuarial exams with ASSA/IFoA to achieve their Fellowship.

The importance of the actuarial profession and why we've chosen to invest in it

– Risto Ketola, Financial Director

Actuaries are ubiquitous across our operations. The wide area of contribution for actuaries at Momentum Group says a lot about the actuarial profession. The underlying reason for the wide sphere of influence is that actuarial development results in individuals that have skills to offer in mathematical, economic, and business areas. Actuarial studies thus ensure a well-rounded skill set. The actuarial profession also remains one that attracts some of the brightest young minds in South Africa.
