Actuarial Intern - Student Opportunity

The Chicago office of Milliman Inc. is looking for enthusiastic and qualified candidates to join its Life and Financial Services practice for an internship/co-op work term. The candidate will be assigned to work in either the Mergers and Acquisitions or the Financial Risk Management group. The two groups work closely together on mergers and acquisitions projects and other assignments such as risk-based capital impact analysis.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Milliman is the industry leader in merger and acquisitions; we have been either on the seller or buyer side of all major transactions for the last 20 years. When it comes to sorting through the complexities of insurance industry mergers and acquisitions, Milliman offers unparalleled experience. We have been involved in all successful life M&A transactions in the past five years, representing value in excess of $100 billion. Our sophisticated financial models are relied upon to deliver accurate projections and valuations of company assets. Because we never serve as a broker, we are a trusted source of independent analysis on a proposed deal's valuation, merits and weaknesses. In many cases, the deal valuation is only the beginning and we are brought on to consult management on implementation and post-transaction action plans

Financial Risk Management

We have a focused, multi-disciplinary team of actuaries, financial engineers / capital markets professionals and software developers working together to develop risk management solutions for the financial services industry. We currently advise some of the world's largest insurance companies in areas such as hedging strategy and operations, portfolio risk management, capital requirements, and mergers and acquisitions.
