Abstract

It is a great honor for me to have been appointed to the new Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of ASTIN Bulletin. I have been serving as Editor for ASTIN Bulletin under the retiring EiC Andrew Cairns since 2011. Andrew Cairns has been EiC of ASTIN Bulletin for 17 years, the first 5 years together with Paul Embrechts, another 2 years jointly with Shaun Wang, and since 2008 he has been solely responsible for ASTIN Bulletin. Andrew Cairns has done an extraordinary job; with his huge commitment and knowledge, he has established ASTIN Bulletin as the leading journal in actuarial science, both in industry and academia. In his time, ASTIN Bulletin has been awarded the Thomson Reuters Impact Factor, it has changed the publisher to Cambridge University Press, and it has integrated all of the scientific sections of the International Actuarial Association IAA. Today, ASTIN Bulletin publishes roughly 30 articles per year (with an average acceptance rate for new submissions of about 30%). Our greatest thanks go to Andrew Cairns for his achievements and this great success of ASTIN Bulletin.
