Insurance services and solutions

We work with insurance companies to enhance their actuarial functions, refine risk modelling, strengthen capital management, and ensure regulatory compliance. This approach empowers better decision-making and boosts business resilience.

Actuarial Function and Actuarial Support

Undertaking functions and support to function holders 

We can help you build and strengthen your actuarial teams, delivering real value and confidence to the boards of life and non-life insurance companies through our Head of Actuarial Function Services.

More general resource support

We're ready to offer secondments to local actuarial and data analytics teams, enhancing their resources when needed.  Alternatively, we provide outsourcing arrangements to support corporates realising efficiencies and / or providing access to expertise. 

Insurance Risk Modelling

Design and implementation 

We assist businesses in crafting, executing, and confirming efficient and well-governed modelling systems that offer valuable insights and enhance their competitive advantage. We've collaborated with various organisations in both life and non-life insurance sectors, focusing on finance and actuarial reporting, risk and capital assessments, support for regulatory authorisations, and mergers and acquisitions.

Comfort over the numbers

Our leading expertise, combined with our audit integration and strong connections with regulators, positions us uniquely to offer confidence in your numbers and reporting systems.

Training

Our team brings extensive experience in working with a wide range of users in actuarial and insurance risk services. We offer training for boards and senior executives on insurance risk and capital modelling.

Risk and Capital

We work with you to design and implement risk management frameworks that truly connect with your business. By aligning revenue, risk management capital, and operations, we create a useful and insightful approach that improves capital efficiency and manages risks within agreed limits. We also conduct thorough gap analyses with regulatory requirements in relation to governance and risk management.

Own Risk and Solvency (‘ORSA’) and Recovery Planning

We're in a unique position to challenge and offer risk and market insights to existing ORSA frameworks, helping them adapt to our evolving environment.

While recovery planning for insurers isn't as developed as ORSA processes, the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority has set requirements for recovery scenario testing. And there's a clear trend among international insurance regulators to enforce recovery planning requirements on insurers. We can provide an independent review of a recovery plan and provided insights to support the future iteration of this plan as the framework matures.

Actuarial and Risk services and solutions

We help businesses transform digitally, apply advanced risk analysis, conduct actuarial assessments, and gain insights into people dynamics. This approach boosts efficiency, manages risks effectively, and propels strategic growth.

Digital business transformation

Many businesses are looking to take advantage of the wealth of available digital tools and technology to automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors and free up time for their staff to manage critical tasks. 

Others are taking on larger projects to link different systems together so that critical data are integrated and management information can be monitored in real time without having to wait for periodic reports to be manually produced. 

Whether your transformation goals are big or small - we can help you identify and implement digital solutions that meets your business’s needs.

Corporate Risk Modelling and Data Analytics

Many businesses manage substantial risks with limited internal risk management teams. We can help you modernise risk management by enhancing operations with technology, using advanced data analytics and modelling, and rethinking reporting with visualisation tools to better manage your risks strategically. Recently, we collaborated with a business to refine a financial projection model, offering insights on stress and scenario testing, and effectively communicating potential outcomes.

Pension and Benefit Valuations

We bring our local actuarial knowledge to the table, while tapping into the extensive resources and tools of our UK actuarial pensions team. You can take advantage of our network's insights and technology solutions, all while having a local contact ready to discuss your unique needs.

We’re able to support in the following areas:

  • Pensions Investment
  • Pension Funding and Transformation 
  • Pensions Regulation, Compliance and Governance
  • DC Pensions and Employee Benefits
  • Pension Risk Transfer
  • Pensions Employer Covenant and Restructuring 

Expert Witness / Personal Injury Claims / Employment Tribunal Claims

We perform thorough estimate of loss calculations by projecting future income and pension losses tailored to an individual’s circumstances. 

People analytics - unlocking the power of your workforce

Many organisations invest more in their people than in any other asset, yet few understand how to improve the return on that substantial investment.  We help clients solve a range of people-related problems and opportunities through superior insights using the skilful deployment of data, analytics and reporting.
