(Re)Insurer Solutions
Optimise capital, benchmark performance, and drive strategic growth.
Differentiate in a Crowded Market
Strategic intelligence for Syndicates and (Re)Insurers.
In a capital-constrained environment, differentiation is the key to growth. Whether you are raising capital, structuring reinsurance, or planning your next business year, you need more than just internal data.
You need a market-wide view.
ICMR provides the independent benchmarks and valuation models that Boards and Executive teams use to validate strategy, optimise capital allocation, and demonstrate value to shareholders.
Solutions for Strategic Growth
We map our core offerings directly to the operational and strategic challenges faced by Managing Agencies, Corporate Members, and (Re)Insurers.
Data & Peer Analysis
The Challenge: Understanding your true relative performance without the distortion of differing reinsurance structures or expense allocations.
The Solution: Unparalleled peer group analysis. Using ICMR.Data and our Syndicate Statistics book, we go beyond headline Combined Ratios to analyse gross performance at a line-of-business level, revealing the true technical underwriting ability of your peers.
Predictive Analytics
The Challenge: Validating internal views of risk and capital against an independent, market-wide benchmark.
The Solution: Leverage our predictive engines, ICMR.Quant and ICMR.Insight. We provide outside-in validation of your Economic Capital Assessment (ECA), stress-test new product launches, and model the prospective performance of advanced “Smart Follow” strategies.
Enterprise Value Modelling
The Challenge: Translating underwriting performance into tangible Enterprise Value and tracking real-time Price-to-Book metrics.
The Solution: We apply insights from our equity-based RISX Index and the ICMR NAV Index to model syndicate valuations. Understand exactly how changes in your growth, margin, or reserve leverage will impact your franchise value compared to listed peers.
Capital & Legacy Support
The Challenge: Freeing up trapped capital (legacy liabilities) or requiring advanced stochastic modelling without expanding permanent headcount.
The Solution: Our Consulting Services act as your on-demand quantitative team. We assist in structuring Legacy Portfolio Transfers (LPTs) and ADCs using advanced Bayesian reserving frameworks, providing the objective pricing support necessary to bridge the bid-ask spread.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clarifying our engagement model for Syndicates and Managing Agencies.
No. We primarily work with public financial data and standardised Lloyd’s filings (QMRs, SBFs). For bespoke portfolio modelling, we can ingest your data via secure file transfer (SFTP). There is no complex IT integration required to get started.
We distinguish ourselves through Speed and Clarity. Our dataset is reconciled and available in mid-April, months ahead of other data providers. Crucially, we focus on Gross Performance by line of business. By stripping out the distorting effects of reinsurance and expense allocations, we reveal the true technical underwriting ability of your peers, unclouded by their capital structures.
Absolutely. We have supported a number of follow-only players in getting a better understanding of past and future performance potentials of syndicates by class of business. See our “Winning Portfolio Strategies” white paper with Hampden Risk Partners for a detailed look at our methodology.
