Proper Usage of the MRA Designation

  • Certified MRA.

  • Market Risk Actuary – Certified by the Israel Association of Valuators and Financial Actuaries.

 

Suggested uses for the MRA designation

  • After your name in written correspondence and/or as part of your e-mail signature.

  • After your name on business cards, letterheads and/or name plates.

  • As an identifier in resumes, curriculum vitas, biographies, personal statements and/or published articles.

 

Usage Guidelines

  • When using the letters only, they must be capitalized (i.e. mra is not a proper use).

  • When spelling out the MRA designation, at minimum, the first letter in each word should be capitalized  (i.e. market risk actuary is not a proper use).

  • The MRA designation may not be altered in any way or used to form new symbols or designs nor may they be translated into another language  (i.e. MRa  is not a proper use).

  • The MRA designation may not be used in conjunction with a company name or as part of an e-mail address (MRAProvider@webhosting company.com is not a proper use).

  • The MRA designation must be used only as an adjective, not in a generic manner or as a common name (i.e. Stating that all doctors are “PhDs” and all market risk actuaries are “MRAs” is considered generic and is unacceptable).

  • Articles, advertisements or promotional materials should indicate that the MRA designation is owned by IAVFA.
