CAS Virtual Case Competition
Have you had limited exposure to property and casualty actuarial topics and never competed in a case competition before? Sign up to participate in the Virtual CAS Case Competition exclusively for university students! By participating in this event students will:Â
- Gain practical actuarial experience Â
- Hone their analytical, leadership, and presentation skillsÂ
- Cultivate teamwork and camaraderieÂ
- Obtain relevant experience to highlight on your resume and during interviews Â
- Compete for cash prizes for winners and runners-up
The event would be held over the span of two weeks, with a kickoff session to introduce the case to the teams, followed by two weeks for students to collaborate on their solution on their own time (with access to office hours and mentorship from a CAS actuary), and concluding with a presentation day where the teams’ submissions will be judged and prizes awarded.
The topic will focus on pricing a homeowner’s warranty. Students will be assigned to teams to ensure balance in experience levels. Below please find the tentative timeline for the event:Â

EligibilityÂ
We encourage university students who attend an actuarial program but have had limited exposure to property and casualty topics, limited access to actuarial internships and have not participated in a case competition before to participate. This event is also well suited for university students at schools without actuarial programs, as well as those who recently learned about the actuarial careerÂ
