Capabilities
Five connected areas of work, applied individually or together depending on the shape of the problem.
01
Strategy, market engagement and complex insurance projects.
The challenge
Insurance and reinsurance decisions often sit at the intersection of strategy, structure and market practice. Boards and executives can face questions where conventional market advice is too narrow, too product-led, or shaped by the interests of the party giving it.
How we can help
We bring senior, independent perspective to insurance and reinsurance questions — helping clients frame the problem, understand the realistic options, engage with markets on informed terms and manage complex projects through to a decision.
Typical areas of work
Insurance and reinsurance strategy reviews
Market engagement and placement support
Complex or non-standard insurance projects
Independent review of existing arrangements
02
Risk retention, captives, mutuals and alternative structures.
The challenge
For some organisations, conventional insurance is not the most efficient answer. Deciding how much risk to retain, and in what structure, requires an honest view of appetite, capital, governance and the long-term cost of transfer.
How we can help
We help clients evaluate and design alternative approaches to risk — from structured retention to captives, mutuals and hybrid arrangements — grounded in what is practical to establish, govern and operate.
Typical areas of work
Structured risk retention analysis
Captive and mutual feasibility and design
Alternative and hybrid structure evaluation
Governance and operating arrangements
03
Assessing and developing new insurance propositions and programmes.
The challenge
New insurance propositions fail more often through weak design than weak ideas. Turning a concept into a credible programme requires structure, distribution logic, capacity considerations and operational detail to be resolved together.
How we can help
We assess whether a proposed programme is viable, help shape it into a form that markets and partners can engage with, and support the development work required to take it from concept to launch readiness.
Typical areas of work
Proposition assessment and feasibility
Programme design and structuring
Capacity and partner engagement
Launch planning and development support
04
Governance, process, technology and operating-model change.
The challenge
Insurance transformation rarely fails on technology alone. Governance, process, data and operating-model questions are usually entangled, and change programmes drift when those threads are managed in isolation.
How we can help
We work with leadership teams to define the target operating model, align governance and process with it, and keep transformation programmes anchored to the commercial outcome they were started for.
Typical areas of work
Target operating model design
Governance and process change
Technology and data programme support
Programme assurance and recovery
05
Complex portfolio, run-off, restructuring and strategic projects.
The challenge
Legacy portfolios, run-off situations and strategic restructurings carry long tails of obligation, data and negotiation. They demand patience, technical depth and a clear view of the endgame.
How we can help
We support clients through complex portfolio and run-off situations — from initial options analysis to structuring, counterparty engagement and the management of long-duration projects.
Typical areas of work
Run-off strategy and options analysis
Portfolio review and restructuring
Exit and finality transactions support
Long-duration project management
