Professional
Pensions reckons that with less defined benefit plans, we will have an industry
saturated with actuaries. I always wondered what the plural of an actuary was –
a ‘saturate of actuaries’ does it for me!
Seriously
though, I’m not sure there will be any ‘saturate’. Actuaries are bright people-
they will find other things to do rather than hang around 'in a position where
they are not needed', to quote Richard Butcher in the article.
And
Richard surely has a lot to say! Quoted in no less than FOUR different articles
in the same 10th October edition of the magazine. Lazy journalism of
course. Quote the person that reaches out to you rather than seeking views from
others in the industry. And accepting the view of consultants rather than some
of those at the sharp end. Having said that, at least Professional Pensions are
creating some decent news coverage- some magazines seem to have given up
looking for new stories and just keep repeating the same old arguments in
seemingly new articles.
