Edward Johnston was the sixth person to hold the post of Government Actuary and, through this, played a significant role in the actuarial profession and in public life.听
The family has had a long association with South East Asia so it felt fitting that the bequest be used in connection with the IFoA鈥檚 growing presence in that region. The Sir Edward Johnston Prize is awarded to the best performing graduating students on the actuarial programmes at several universities which are linked to the IFoA.
