Translating research into actionable underwriting insights
Our knowledge of underwriting extends across multiple product lines, including Group Disability, Group Life, Individual Disability and Individual Life. We make it our business to stay abreast of the latest medical developments — as well as associated mortality and morbidity risks — and we translate our research and critical insight into actionable underwriting practices. Because of our global presence, we approach risk from a broad, well informed perspective.
Leveraging analytics
To compete in this digital era, you must have access to proper data analysis, efficiencies, automation, and insight to make informed decisions. Carriers often collect a wealth of data but may lack the resources, bandwidth, or expertise to make the most of it. With particular experience in group disability and group life product lines, we help you move forward in a multitude of areas:
- Managing mortality and morbidity risk
- Optimizing medical underwriting
- Expanding insurability
- Integrating new data sources
- Exploring new applications of data science and data engineering
- Predicting disability incidence and termination rates
- Disability claims scoring
- Fraud detection

Examples of our actuarial consultative services include:
