What do our clients and the greater insurance industry think about climate change? We did some market research to find out.

In an ever-changing reinsurance industry ripe with an influx of alternative capital and new competition, reinsurers have had to identify new ways to boost the profitability of their portfolios.

From chatbots that streamline how insurance is being sold directly to customers to fully automated claims processing via mobile apps, it's no secret that artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology that's here to stay.

This summer, we'll be releasing our new reinsurance catastrophe modeling analytics application, Touchstone Re™!

Deciding how best to go about running additional analyses and integrating catastrophe modeling output into a reinsurer's own internal analytics system is no simple matter, and the consequences of getting it wrong can be significant.

It used to be that reinsurance portfolio roll-ups were done annually because of the time and resources needed. But this traditional rolling up for the once-a-year snapshot of a business appears to be waning.

With combined ratios increasing and global property reinsurance rates online (ROLs) having declined for 11 straight years, describing the underwriting environment as "challenging" would be an understatement.

As we head into 2018, what potential disruptions do supply chains face and how can companies manage these risks over the coming year?

Today's soft reinsurance market has put increasing amounts of pressure on traditional reinsurers to develop new strategies and tactics to survive. In this post we’ll take a look at some of the forces that have created today’s soft market conditions and connect them back to their effect on combined ratios.

Clients who license Analyze Re, as well as AIR Products Touchstone® or CATRADER®, will now be able to export loss curves (Year Event Loss Tables, or YELTs) from Touchstone and CATRADER directly into Analyze Re.

As an insurer, having information about each "R" is critical for developing accurate and fair pricing of CBI cover. So let’s discuss what each of the 3 Rs mean and what you need to know about them.

In this post, we'll discuss how to interpret combined ratios, walk through the steps for calculating them, and then touch on some related metrics.

You've probably heard the terms business interruption (BI), contingent business interruption (CBI), and Product Value at Risk (PVaR) thrown around in the context of supply chain disruptions. What exactly do these terms mean and how can each of them be quantified?

No pun intended, but there's no question that climate is a hot topic these days. Every week, you likely come across articles describing new research into the earth's warming, or how certain cyclical effects are having an impact on the weather.

As (re)insurance companies accumulate more and more risks, the data contained in these portfolios continues to grow. Understanding how to make sense of it all is critical, and there is no shortage of metrics one can employ.

Whether you're new to the field of reinsurance or a veteran in need of a quick refresher, here are five things that reinsurance underwriters, risk managers, and executive teams alike should understand when interpreting catastrophe modeling output.

After years of negotiation, two historic climate change agreements aimed at mitigating the effects of global warming have finally come to fruition.
