The Institute of Actuaries was one of the two professional bodies which represented actuaries in the United Kingdom . The institute was based in England, while the other body, the Faculty of Actuaries , was based in Scotland .

On 25 May 2010, voting members of the institute who took part in a ballot voted to merge the institute with the faculty, thus creating the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries , which came into being on 1 August 2010. The Institute of Actuaries ceased to exist on that date.
