Asset return & economic modelling

Our proprietary asset model simulates asset returns for a variety of different asset classes, as well as simulating economic variables such as discount rates and inflation rates. They underpin our internal capital models and are used to analyse general economic linkages to insurance variables, for example between unemployment rates and claim frequencies. Such analyses feed into pricing and reserving decisions for products such as lenders mortgage insurance and Workers Compensation.

Investment strategy

Our detailed modelling of financial risks informs strategic advice for insurers wishing to use asset mix to adjust their risk profile. Using models of asset return volatility we are able to determine the impact of asset mix on the risk profile and profitability of the company and to assess optimal asset mixes that improve capital efficiency.

Capital allocation

Allocation of capital to specific sub-divisions of an insurer’s business enables the setting of profit targets at a group, company and product level in a manner consistent with overall return on capital targets. This process allows targets for return on capital to properly reflect the risk profile of the products or business concerned, and allows clients to:

  • Understand the impact of the mix of products on the risk profile and profitability 
  • Identify the sources and value of diversification with the company.
