Drive better pricing governance and strategies in tariffed insurance markets

Modeling techniques have made steady progress in recent years, supported by improvements in algorithms and computing power. While these methods were first adopted in more flexible insurance markets, they are now beginning to influence tariffed markets as well. However, using these more sophisticated methods in regulated markets may present challenges. In this context, achieving pricing sophistication while maintaining strong pricing governance can be particularly challenging due to regulatory constraints.

Typical challenges

Uncertainty

Regulatory constraints limit what you can do in pricing.

Inefficiency

If you want to change rates, the process is very time-consuming if you apply manual changes, especially when regulatory requirements add complexity.

Profitability

If you can’t or don’t change rates, it is not clear what other steps you can take to improve your loss ratio.

How Akur8 can help insurers in tariffed markets address these challenges

Build technical models to estimate the future loss cost

Akur8 models help you identify which segments are driving poor performance and potentially determine which of those justify engaging with the regulator for potential pricing or underwriting changes.
