Doing some background digging for my job and need information regarding actuarial services. If anyone's in the industry and can either give me the info or point me to the places I might find it I would be very grateful. The questions:
How are actuarial fees assessed for larger funds (mutual funds, pension funds, etc)? Are they charged on a flat rate, based on assets under management, or on some sort of heuristic derived from fund complexity?
Outside of general risk management and forecasting, what services do actuarial firms typically provide to their clients? Are there sub-services?
Is this service typically outsourced by the fund managers or do they often have in-house departments?
Who are the major providers and how large is the industry? I alredy know of some of the big guns like Towers Perrin, PricewaterhouseCoopers, T. Rowe Price, and Watson Wyatt & Co, but I'm wondering about other firms.
