You should have a good knowledge on Matematics and Statistics to become Acturains.some life Insurance company sponsors for some of them who wnat to become acturians as there are only a very few acturians all over india

both are good viz CFA or Actuary if u are very much interested in assessing risk and doing Fair Valuations opt for Actuary

But since u have completed CA AND CWA and if u have a fair liking to work in capital markets do CFA

tO CONCLUDE ACCORDING TO ME FOR YOU BOTH ARE GOOD OPTIONS AND CHOICE IS URS

No doubt, your career will be superb after pursuing actuaries.. But its a lengthy one and u must be proficient in maths, stats and economics

@ Sudhakar

Actuarial Science is a research oriented subject.

So, the knowledge that u will acquire from it will help u grow in a totally different way in terms of career. Areas like Insurance, PF & ESI, etc are not the exhaustive fields of scope for u. Infact, ur job profile after CA, CWA and then Actuaries is gonna be really very interesting and highly paying. Moreover, u can work as a consultant after taking some experience in the industry. In case of consultancy services, qualified people like you get paid a really fat fees !! In the insurance sector, it can range from a few lacs to crores ( 100 crores in Dubai last month - I read it somewhere so I can assure u about it - Source : Internet )

Sky is the limit for u after doing this course !!!!!!!
