Designing or revising an insurance product is tricky – you might know how much you can sell it for, but how much will it cost to underwrite? Sometimes the actuarial cost of the idea exceeds what the market will pay for it. Have you considered any scenario where one event simultaneously triggers claims for the many policies you’ve sold—from a product design strategy, an underwriting strategy, an actuarial strategy? Do you know what the competition is doing? Where will your product be sold—Admitted market or Surplus Lines market? Are your stakeholders growth-oriented or downside-oriented?
Having a thorough understanding of your insurance product itself is not enough – your team should understand how all of the parties involved in the insurance process will behave: not just the customers and investors but the carrier underwriters, agents, actuaries, regulators and reinsurers. In insurance, there are so many parties who are heavily invested in your product with different needs, and all of them need to be negotiated with to have a successful product.
We apply our knowledge and actuarial insights to emerge out of this chaos and translate our insights so you can implement a strategic approach to launch your product with efficiency and clarity.
