Excellent enough to
make a difference?
(Aankomende) actuarissen – M/V
Bij Ernst & Young werken accountants, belastingadviseurs en gespecialiseerde
adviseurs in vrijwel elke richting van de fi nanciële, juridische en notariële
dienstverlening. Met ruim 4.500 medewerkers verspreid over 17 kantoren zijn
we een van de grootste adviesorganisaties in Nederland. Er is bij ons altijd
ruimte voor ambitieuze starters die het verschil willen maken.
Ga jij de fi nancieel directeur van een verzekeraar adviseren over een nieuwe
premiestructuur of het toeslagenbeleid van een pensioenfonds toetsen? Of ben
je meer geïnteresseerd in de modellen die beleggingsfondsen gebruiken bij de
waardering van hun portfolio’s. Ernst & Young Actuarissen biedt de mogelijkheid
om je breed te ontwikkelen op zowel inhoudelijk als persoonlijk vlak. Wij zijn
onderdeel van een Europese organisatie waarin actuarissen uit alle fi nanciële
centra van Europa samenwerken. In de dynamische markt waarin wij werken
hebben wij continu nieuwe adviseurs nodig. Voor onze kantoren in Amsterdam
en Utrecht zijn wij op zoek naar (Aankomende) actuarissen.
Ben je gedreven, leergierig, analytisch en adviseer je liever dan dat je
wordt geadviseerd. Dan heb jij de instelling die wij zoeken. Wij bieden jou
de mogelijkheid om na je studie als beginnend actuaris aan de slag te gaan.
Ook kun je tijdens je studie voor een dag in de week aan de slag gaan als
werkstudent of je afstudeerscriptie schrijven over een praktijk probleem.

on 9 June the announcement drink took place in curiosa café Qwibus. Now that the candidate board has been
announced, it is almost time for our board to hand over the reins. it is hard to believe how fast a year in the board
goes by. Below, i will mention a few of many good memories from the past months, or at least some events that
have been inscribed in my memory.
after two successful weeks, it was high
time for the final economic Business weeks
Tilburg (eBT ) party. It is a tradition that the
chairmen of the asset associations take care
of the organisation of this final party. as
chairmen, we could well see what had to be
done, but organising a party ourselves was
something completely different. after some
brainstorming we decided to use golden
balloons for the decoration of the party.
result: we spent a whole day decorating
Café Slagroom with at least five people using
1200 golden balloons, which we had to blow
up with little hand-pumps. In any case, it was
good for the integration of board members
of different associations.
On Tuesday 13 april, the so-called ‘Biggest
Challenge asset | econometrics has ever
seen’ started. about 25 econometricians
participated in the game ‘Gotcha!’. every
participant received a target card, with the
name of the person you had to shoot with a
water gun on it. furthermore, we thought it
would be nice to introduce an immunity rule.
If the logo of asset | econometrics was visible
on someone’s clothes, he or she obtained
immunity. result: econometricians walked on
the campus with ‘I love astrics’ stickers® stuck
all over their clothes during the weeks that
followed.

Nekst 4 - June 2010
I really enjoyed the active Members Weekend
(aMW ), which took place in the famous
village of ermelo. This weekend consists
of so many traditions that it will become
difficult for future committees to keep the
programme a secret. This time, however,
the committee succeeded well in doing so.
I am fond of most of the traditions, such as
eating pasta on friday evening, the epic
barbecue on Saturday evening, and the ‘notknowing-what-we-are-going-to-do-up-untilthe-very-last-moment’
factor. as a chairman,
however, there are two traditions you cannot
possibly like. Or at least, I do not. flipping
the chairman over while asleep is one of
them. The other one is the obligation of the
chairman to clean all the toilets at the end
of the weekend. Nonetheless, these are just
traditions I endured.
Hardly five weeks later, the former active
Members Weekend, named KOaLa ß², took
place in the even more famous village of
epe. The latter two traditions were kindly
repeated during this weekend. Nonetheless, I
would like to inform our dear active members
that throwing cake at the chairman is not a
tradition. Of course we can make it a tradition
from next year on.
all in all, it is a pity that our year as the board
of asset | econometrics is almost over. I would
like to wish you a very nice holiday and hope to
see you during the General Members Meeting
on 31 august and the drink afterwards.
