Dear SAS members,

Mr. Tan Suee Chieh, IFoA’s President-elect, will be hosting a series of webinars across South-East Asia on “COVID-19 – Risk, Uncertainty, Psychology and Judgement”. The session for IFoA members in Singapore has been graciously extended to all SAS members for free.

About the Speaker

Mr. Tan will speak about the actuarial risk of the COVID-19 epidemic and the statistical factors which drive this contagion. He will initially use an actuarial risk-based approach in analysing the risk of infection and deaths, and contrast these to other risk types. There are limits to the efficacy of this approach because of the uncertainty, fear and biases inherent in the human psyche, and the complexity of extricating signals from noise. He will also discuss different risk appetites tied to personality profiles and the validity and role of rationality and emotions in mankind’s evolution. Participants are encouraged to participate in the discussions.

Kindly note that the views and analysis presented in this presentation are of Mr. Tan’s personal narrative and not of IFoA’s official policy.
