Hello hmom5,

Just to clarify a couple of things, what do you mean by “tested” and “quants”?

I presume that you mean by quants the (former) profession of ppl like Emanuel Derman and Paul Wilmott? I’m not implying that the ones you mention are necessarily of the same caliber as these two most famous quants, but I am aware that quants are all quite intelligent.

By “tested” do you mean challenged? I ask because as a verb “test” can mean slightly different things.

I would think that actuarial fellows have gone through a more extensive and rigorous training than quants with masters only (MFE etc.) but surely phd quants are above the fellows in terms of the depth of their education and training?
