Victoria Koo: HSBC Insurance

Victoria Koo

MMORSE 2010

HSBC Insurance in Hong Kong

The days which I spent in Warwick were enjoyable and memorable. The friendship of my schoolmates and the dedicated support and guidance of my tutors made me feel like at home. The 4 year MMORSE programme not only gave me a broad overview on various prospects, but also equipped me well with different skill sets which are valuable to my future career. After gaining the degree with Actuarial and Financial Mathematics specialism, I went on to pursue a further Master’s degree in Finance at the University of Cambridge.

With the growing passion in the financial industry, I started my career in the Regional Actuarial department at HSBC Insurance in Hong Kong, where my daily role involves pricing products and valuing liabilities for the life business. Here I find my work both exciting and challenging where I can apply most of the numerical and analytical techniques which I have learnt at Warwick to real life situations. I am now continuing my home study with the support of the company to acquire the actuarial professional qualification and striving towards my career goal.
