TCW Actuarial Pty Ltd (Tellyros, Costa & Whale Actuarial) was founded in 2017 by John Tellyros and Dr Gaurav Khemka — two consulting actuaries who previously worked at Bendzulla Actuarial, the firm that became Accurium, today Australia's largest SMSF actuarial certificate provider.

"One of the most satisfying aspects of an actuarial career spanning a number of decades is the ability to play a role in facilitating other businesses in our industry. Naturally, the Principals of the new business must play a major role — but often past associations provide the insight, skills, mentoring and (at times) some building blocks for a new enterprise.

Three of my current colleagues — John Tellyros, Dr. Marco Costa and Dr. Ben Whale — are launching a new actuarial firm. Their new firm will be able to supply adequacy and exempt current pension income actuarial certificates. NetActuary is still restricted from supplying these services under the sale agreements of the previous business (Bendzulla Actuarial / Accurium). I have no doubt whatsoever that the skills these three individuals have will result in a very successful business."
