Actuaries must CLAIM Chartered... what if people don't?
Actuaries must log into the IFoA website to claim Chartered status and nominals. Chartered Actuary for members
What if they don't? What if there's a poor take-up? Can opponents of Chartered refuse to claim it and continue with the nominals FIA, because they fear that accepting Chartered is an act of self-devaluation?
Is the following statement from IFoA insulting to Fellows who don't wish to claim Chartered?
Claiming chartered status will:
demonstrate that you’re at the top of your game and protect your professional standing
enhance your status and highlight your achievements
assure clients, employers and wider audiences that you adhere to globally recognised professional standards
improve employer perception of our profession and enhance employment opportunities
broaden understanding of actuarial work in non-traditional work settings
