Sompo International (Pembroke, Bermuda), a global specialty provider of property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, has selected AIR’s (Boston) casualty analytics platform, Arium, to better understand and quantify its liability and loss potential across multiple commercial liability lines of business. AIR Worldwide is a subsidiary of Verisk (Jersey City, N.J.).
“By leveraging Arium, we’re able to gain new insights into the nature of our liability exposures and the types of events and threats that can impact our portfolio,” comments Paul McEwan, risk analytics director, Sompo International. “The Arium platform helps us to identify accumulations of exposures that may otherwise appear independent and to assess the quantum of risk associated with them. As a result, we can make informed decisions to increase the resilience of the portfolio in the face of an uncertain and unpredictable risk landscape and to more efficiently and robustly deploy our risk capital.”
Sompo International is using the Arium solution for multi-line liability risk analysis, and AIR is also offering portfolio data coding services to Sompo International that include unique corporate identifiers and geocodes, according to an AIR statement. AIR reports that it is also providing dedicated training and support that will enable Sompo International to more effectively identify casualty scenarios to model and, by leveraging historical data and AIR’s expert judgment, parameterize and perturb those scenarios.
