SP4 – PENSIONS AND OTHER BENEFITS PRINCIPLES

About SP4 – Pensions and Other Benefits Principles

Area Description
Introduction Pensions and Other Benefits Specialist Principles and Advanced (SP4 and SA4) are key assessments for students working in the field of pensions. For the new curriculum we have developed the core reading material to allow for the changing environment, including alternative approaches to benefit provision. Key developments include a greater emphasis on risk sharing, defined contribution arrangements and public sector schemes and, for SA4, drawing on examples from different territories.
Aim The aim of Pensions and Other Benefits Specialist Principles (SP4) is to develop a student’s ability to apply, in simple situations, the main principles of actuarial planning and control needed for the financial management of pensions and other benefits.
What You Learn It builds on material covered in earlier subjects and seeks to equip a student with the skills and broad working understanding of pensions to the level that may be required of a qualified actuary working in a consultancy, insurance company, public sector body or other comparable financial institution.
