Before yesterday's wine tasting, there was a Question Time session where us plebs were able to put questions to a panel of Knowledgeable Actuaries. We had been invited to submit questions in advance, but I had not done this due to not thinking of anything early enough. I did think of a question whilst listening to them arguing about pension scheme funding. Here's My Question.
"Over the last weekend, many of today's top pop stars recorded a new version of "Do They Know It's Christmas" to raise money for the poor in Africa. This one, Band Aid 20, is the third version, 20 years after the original. Should actuaries in Ethiopia be sueing Bono and Bob Geldof for doing so much to make invalid the mortality tables they had been comfortably using until 1984?"
Sadly, I didn't get chance to ask it.
