Industry-Leading Capital Modeling Solutions

Our advanced modeling tools help you meet the ever-changing expectations of your stakeholders, from regulators and rating agencies to board members and policyholders.

No two insurance companies are alike. But every company–whether it’s a less complex organization or a major multinational–can utilize capital modeling to more effectively assess key risks, benchmark risk profiles, inform risk tolerances, allocate capital, meet regulatory and rating agency requirements and strategize for the future.

The Need for Enterprise Risk Management

A.M. Best Ratings framework escalates the need for adequate enterprise risk management (ERM). Strong ERM may qualify for a one-notch upgrade, while an inadequate finding allows an analyst to drop a company’s rating up to four levels. This is why companies need to match operational controls and ERM to growth initiatives.

Insurers of any size should utilize capital modeling to efficiently and effectively assess key risks, benchmark risk profiles, inform risk tolerance, allocate capital and meet regulatory and rating agency requirements. Through our suite of capital modeling solutions, insurers can mitigate risks and create and tap into opportunities for growth.
