Treasury Pension Expert Joins Buck
Tonya B. Manning joined Buck Consultants at Xerox as chief
actuary, a role that involves shaping and improving the firm's understanding of
current market trends.
Reported by Noel Couch
Manning most recently served in the U.S. Department of Treasury as a policy actuary. Buck believes her experience will provide clients with insights into the workings of the federal government and pension regulation decisions.
For more than 20 years Manning worked at Aon Hewitt, helping to establish offshore valuating capabilities, providing consulting to clients and maintaining the role of chief actuary. She is a fellow of the Society of Actuaries, an enrolled actuary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.
She holds a bachelor’s of science degree in mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Additionally, Manning provides guidance to those with their sights set on working in the actuarial field, having developed a pension actuarial course and leading lectures at Columbia University.
Manning’s understanding of the market, as well as issues such as retirement readiness and public sector plan funding, will help Buck continue to develop innovative ways to achieve the best retirement outcomes for employees across the client base, concludes Fraser Smart, president of Buck Consultants at Xerox.
