Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the key characteristics that can better define the way -the approach, the methodologies and how to apply them- in which the actuary can and do solve specific problems facing in day to day work , thanks to his knowledge and skills. Each of the characteristics shown is illustrated with various examples from professional practice. In addition, in the light of the characteristics that define the idiosyncrasies of the actuary, the situation of the actuary in the current financial crisis environment is analyzed, where many financial sector issues are under discussion and at the crossroads that will define the scenario in the immediate future and, most likely, in the medium to long term.
