Core Actuarial Services

The Full Spectrum of Actuarial Practice

Our team brings extensive technical expertise, effective communication, and decades of industry experience to every engagement, ensuring analyses withstand scrutiny and drive meaningful decision-making.
01

Predictive Analytics & Statistical Modeling

Modern actuarial work increasingly involves complex statistical modeling and machine learning to better understand patterns in claims data, provide more accurate solutions, and better insight into cost drivers.
02

Ratemaking

Effective insurance pricing depends on actuarial models that translate risk characteristics and historical loss experience into rating structures that are fair, adequate, and comply with state regulations.
03

Loss Reserving

Estimating liabilities accurately demands more than methodology, it requires experienced actuaries who combine disciplined analysis with contextual understanding of your company’s processes, structure, and loss patterns.
04

Self-Insurance Program Evaluation & Risk Financing

Organizations must carefully balance retained risk and insurance transfer. We use actuarial analysis to structure programs that are both financially sound and strategically appropriate for your organization.
05

Actuarial Expert Testimony & Regulatory Support

Our independent actuarial expertise plays a key role in rate hearings, arbitrations, audits, and litigation providing technically sound analyses built to withstand scrutiny in adversarial legal settings.
06

Specialized Insurance & Risk Programs

Certain industries, municipal pools, residual risk pools, and public programs require highly specialized actuarial approaches to model long-tail liabilities and unique regulatory risk structures.
07

Enterprise Risk Management

A holistic view of risk enables better capital adequacy monitoring, promotes more optimal decision-making, and prioritizes and mitigates potential problems satisfying key internal, rating agency, and regulatory stakeholders simultaneously.
Predictive Analytics In Depth

Statistical Theory Meets Statistical Practice

Our analytics practice spans the full statistical lifecycle from foundational GLM rate models to next-generation machine learning architectures. We work inside your data to extract insight others miss, and translate that insight into competitive advantage.

Whether you’re filing a new rating model, evaluating reinsurance bids, or developing proprietary scoring, our team brings both technical depth and regulatory fluency to every engagement.

Stochastic Reserving

Better understand the volatility in loss estimates for a more complete assessment of loss potential.

Ultimate Loss Models

Predictive models, like GLMs, provide data-driven estimates of individual or aggregate losses.

Advanced Modeling Techniques

We have expertise with the full suite of modern machine learning methods including GLMs, tree-based methods, regularization, splines, clustering, and dimensionality reduction techniques.

Predictive Modeling-Based Rating Plans

Our regularized GLMs match premiums to risk and only use the variables that matter, for rating plans that are highly effective and easy to implement

Update Existing Rate Models

Apply advanced statistical techniques to reap the benefits of a next-generation rating model without causing excessive policyholder dislocation.

Scoring models built from the ground-up enhance rating and produce competitive advantages that are lasting and proprietary.
