A recent McKinsey study estimated a US short-fall of up to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills. Harvard Business Review agrees adding that 'Data Scientists' will be the 'Rock Stars' of the 21st century. In Australia, they're known as an actuary.

This unusual insight has actually given investors more confidence in the decisions they make, resulting in more revenue for the firm. And the pioneering use of risk-based asset management is receiving significant interest throughout the global investment community. The world isn’t black and white but business decisions are.
