Employer Profile


Who we are
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is the UK’s sole financial services regulator. Our remit covers five key areas: maintaining market confidence; raising public awareness of the financial system; contributing to the UK’s financial stability; ensuring consumers are protected and targeting and reducing financial crime.

In today’s financial climate, a robust regulatory stance is crucial. So whether we’re working with banks, building societies and insurance companies or financial advisers, fund managers, mortgage brokers or intermediaries, we apply the same firm but fair standards. Ultimately, we’re here to give a strong lead to the industry, ensure transparency in the system and maintain London’s status as a world-leading global financial centre.

Our graduates
We look for people with the potential to develop and the talent to deliver. Our Actuarial Programme has been carefully designed to give you exposure to a range of actuarial work. In your first year you can expect to spend six months in both our Life Insurance and General Insurance teams and, depending on your interests, further rotations may be available in a policy or supervisory role to give you a unique breadth of experience. You will also undergo a six-month secondment as part of your training as well as sponsorship to be a fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

Our rewards
The starting salary for graduates is £29,000 – plus you also get a £2,500 joining bonus, as well as further performance-related rewards. The basic package also includes 23 days’ holiday, non-contributory pension scheme, life assurance, private medical insurance, health screening and the ever-handy interest-free season ticket loan.

Our requirements
In addition to a 2.1 in any subject, you’ll need to be a decisive, results-driven, highly analytical team player with excellent people skills and initiative.
