Examples of the type of work we've assisted clients with are:

  • Reserving methodologies -- including CGDT implementation, reviewing GAAP and statutory termination and interest rate assumptions
  • Claim termination rate studies -- actual vs. expected
  • Monte Carlo claim modeling -- used to determine appropriate block retention levels and appropriate credibility factors for experience rating purposes
  • Pricing for special risks -- creating pricing models for special situations and innovative insurance and reinsurance products
  • Manual rate review
