True South

Actuarial judgement, applied with independence and care.

True South supports insurers and other organisations through hands-on Advisory and independent Assurance. Established in South Africa in 2001, we combine experienced judgement with capable delivery teams.

What we do

Advisory and Assurance

The right role depends on the question and the governance context. Our Advisory teams work alongside management to deliver and improve actuarial work. Our Assurance actuaries provide independent judgement, review and challenge. We agree the boundary before the work begins.

Advisory

When you need actuarial capacity, specialist expertise or a team to deliver a defined outcome alongside your people.

Assurance

When a board, regulator or other stakeholder needs an independent actuarial view, including HAF, Head of Risk, statutory actuary and related governance support.

How we can help

Clients usually approach us because a responsibility must be met, a reporting process must work, a model or result needs challenge, or a capable team is needed for a period of change.

How we work

Clear ownership. Direct communication.
Work that can be relied on.

We name the people responsible for the work, agree what good delivery requires and communicate early when scope, timing or evidence changes. Our aim is to make difficult actuarial questions clearer without oversimplifying the judgement behind them.

Purpose

Our purpose

Our purpose is to enable meaningful careers, deliver exceptional client outcomes and purposefully uplift communities. We see these as connected: meaningful careers support better client work, strong client outcomes sustain the firm, and that allows us to invest in our communities.
