The Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) is an independent actuarial consultancy and has been working within government for almost a century.

We have evolved over the years and now offer actuarial services to governments and public sector organisations around the world.

Our focus is on providing independent, professional actuarial advice of the highest quality to our clients.

Our experience in the UK in the fields of occupational pensions, pensions policy and social security is unrivalled. We also have a rapidly growing profile internationally in the fields of insurance and social security.

GAD provides advice in the following areas:

• Occupational pensions
• Pensions policy and regulation
• Staff transfers
• Social security
• Insurance
• GAD also provides advice in a variety of other actuarial and statistical areas, including statistical analysis, healthcare financing and actuarial training.

There are actuaries in public sector roles in many countries, but nowhere else is there such a strong concentration of actuarial talent within a government department, and nowhere else does the Government Actuary advise on such a comprehensive range of topics.

The success of GAD is critically dependent on the high quality of our people.  We are committed to training and development programmes which are aimed at ensuring that all our people gain the skills and experience to realise their full potential.
