The Memorial embraces the concept of rewarding, on an international basis, achievements by individuals in fields related to financial and actuarial matters, especially those of an innovative visionary and iconoclastic nature.
Funds will be used to :
- Commission papers or other work in actuarial or related fields identified by the AERF Committee as needing study
- Provide rewards for the best papers submitted to the AERF Committee in response to Calls for Papers on designated topics
- Provide awards for excellence of papers or for other achievements relating to financial or actuarial matters.

David Garrick Halmstad Prize
The David Garrick Halmstad prize is given annually for actuarial research in memory of David Halmstad, an Associate of the Society, for his significant contributions to actuarial science and research. Funds for the prize were contributed in Mr. Halmstad's memory by his friends and colleagues. The Actuarial Foundation continues to support the prize in his memory.
To select the best paper on actuarial research published each year, a committee of the Society's Education and Research Section examines major English language actuarial journals, nominates outstanding papers, reviews the selected articles, and votes for the best paper. The results of these proceedings are submitted to the AERF Committee of TAF for the final selection. This award follows the year of publication rather than the actual calendar year.

Practitioners Award
A good deal of practical actuarial research goes unpublished and, as a
result, unrecognized by the profession. To draw out these research works,
the Actuarial Education and Research Fund established the Practitioners
Award. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge the considerable research
done by actuaries in a nonacademic setting and to encourage the publication
of research performed in the working environment. The essential requirement
is that the research be practical and innovative. All submissions appear
in a special edition of the Actuarial Research Clearing House (ARCH).
The AERF Committee of TAF is currently reviewing this award.
