This week, we’re launching our study materials for CP 351, the SOA’s new asset-liability management course. Learn how we help you prepare for this course, what you’ll learn, and why you should consider taking this course as part of your Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) journey.

What Makes Our CP 351 Course Unique

As you continue your FSA journey, we can guide you through one of the most complex and integrative areas of actuarial science.

1. Breaks Down Complexity

FSA-level exams are tough—not just because they’re difficult, but because they cover so much ground. CP 351 pulls from a wide range of readings, which can make studying feel overwhelming.

That’s where our course adds real value. We summarize, organize, and clarify. Lessons are broken into manageable pieces, with tools like Concept Checkers and Coach’s Remarks to help you focus on what matters and connect ideas across topics.

2. Brings Real-World Expertise

This course was built by actuaries who not only understand asset-liability management but have years of real-world experience applying it. Our lead coaches, Parker and Derek, bring deep expertise and practical insight to the course. They’re supported by a broader team of credentialed actuaries and CFA® charterholders, combining education with real-world know-how.

3. Builds on What You Know

If you’ve used Coaching Actuaries before, this course will feel familiar. You’ll get the same proven tools—Learn manuals, CheckPoints, Mastery Score™, and discussion forums—all designed to keep you on track. If you’re new, it’s easy to navigate so you can focus on learning, not figuring out the system. Every feature is built to help you stay organized, accountable, and making progress.

4. Maximizes Your Time

Preparing for CP 351 means covering a lot of material in a limited time. That’s why this course emphasizes clarity and efficiency. Each lesson focuses on what matters most while still providing the depth you need. You’ll strengthen your understanding with interactive tools, fill gaps with Coach's Remarks, and stay connected to both the theory and its real-world application.

What CP 351 Focuses On

CP 351 is all about asset-liability management and why it matters. Learn how institutions like insurance companies and pension funds use this framework to stay financially stable, even as markets shift and risks evolve.

Along the way, you’ll build the skills to tackle one of business’s biggest challenges: keeping long-term promises by balancing what’s owed with what’s owned.

Visual summary of the CP 351 Curriculum Four Key Areas: 1) The Purpose of Asset-Liability Management—explains its role in financial stability and consequences of neglect; 2) Risk Identification and Classification—focuses on recognizing and categorizing risks affecting assets and liabilities; 3) Risk Measurement—covers tools like duration, convexity, regression, and PCA to evaluate portfolio responses; 4) Risk Management Strategies—includes organizational actions using stress testing, copulas, and financial derivatives.

As you build your expertise, you’ll sharpen your abilities in finance, modeling, and statistics—tools that help institutions maintain the delicate balance between what they owe and what they own.

By the end of CP 351, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of asset-liability management and the practical tools professionals use to manage it. You’ll be prepared to help financial institutions navigate uncertainty, protect their long-term promises, and stay strong through economic shifts.

Why Start Now?

It’s natural to hesitate before taking a brand-new exam. But early sittings often offer an unexpected advantage: with question writers still calibrating, exams tend to be more straightforward. Complexity usually ramps up over time as past sittings shape expectations.

If you’re thinking about taking CP 351, this could be your best opportunity. Our CP 351 course is designed to help you succeed from the very first offerings, with the support and coverage you need from Day 1.

With Coaching Actuaries, you don’t just get study materials—you get a system, a team, and a structure designed to help you succeed. CP 351 might be new, but we’re here to help you take it on with confidence.
