Reserving
Captive insurers, mutuals and pools are under increasing pressure to achieve efficiencies and demonstrate proper stewardship of funds to stakeholders and their parent company. Captive insurer scan potentially drive efficiency through self-insuring, or retaining, more of their risks – that is taking larger deductibles on their insurance policies, so that insurance protects at higher levels.
To ensure funds are available to pay for these retained costs many corporations and public sector entities make annual provisions in the accounts or establish a ring fenced self-insurance fund. Perrenial has significant experience in helping captive insurers better understand the funding requirements emanating from self-insurance. We ensure the entity has adequate funding in place to meet the cost of self-insured claims when needed.
We offer Loss Reserving Specialist Opinions (LRSOs) / Statement of Actuarial Opinions (SAOs) for captive insurers domiciled in a number of jurisdictions, these include:

We also help insurers and MGAs to build new and develop existing rating models, we do this by working closely with underwriters and using your historical claims and exposure information to ensure the rating models are not only statistically robust but also commercially viable.

Combined with industry benchmarks our approach provides valuable data and a framework to help clients make effective decisions around their insurance programme.
