Its members practice primarily in the areas of life insurance, retirement systems, health benefits systems, and financial and investment management. Most reside in North America, but a growing number live or practice overseas. It was founded in 1979 by the merger of two predecessor organizations. It is the largest actuarial organization in the world, with an international membership of almost 17,000.

Membership is granted through a series of examinations related to economic, business, finance and investments, pensions, insurance, interest theory, contingencies, risk assessment and management, and modeling. Successful completion of exams leads to two membership classifications: Associate and Fellow.

It provides basic and continuing education and has a Code of Professional Conduct. It conducts research to develop studies of historical experience and techniques to project into the future, to analyze the actuarial aspects of public policy issues and to expand the profession.
