Company Profile

ARCH was established by Chanan Weiss in 1998 with a view to providing personalised and independent actuarial services. Initially, the financial modelling and consulting related to pension fund and health care valuations. Over the past few years the nature of the projects that we have been involved in has steadily expanded.

In January 2001 Nilen Kambaran and Riyadh Omardien co-founded PSI Actuarial Solutions , a company that insourced pension-related actuarial services from UK life offices. Locally, PSI also performed statistical analyses for large parastatal organisations.

In 2003, the two businesses merged under the ARCH banner.

We are an independent Black Economically Empowered firm. All of the owner-members are involved in the day-to-day business. ARCH is associated with and assisted by three senior actuaries from different areas of expertise: an Approved Retirement Fund Valuator, a Statutory Life Office Valuator and a Health Care Expert.

Our actuarial services include the valuation of pension funds’ assets and liabilities, the valuation of employers’ liabilities with respect to post-employment medical scheme subsidies, consulting to medical schemes, and 3rd party compensation calculations.
