Can your catastrophe reinsurance book adjust to rising costs and catastrophic events?
Over the past five years, catastrophic events have cost the property insurance industry an average of more than $100 billion annually. The reinsurance market has hardened substantially, with higher prices and more selective capacity. Maintain a competitive advantage with reinsurance software solutions that enable rapid portfolio analysis and informed decision-making. Touchstone Re meets these challenges with analytical insight and workflow efficiency to power modern reinsurance catastrophe modeling.
The power of Touchstone® applied to specialized reinsurance modeling workflows
Access Verisk catastrophe models and third-party model outputs using the same enterprise-grade technology that powers Touchstone®, optimized specifically for core reinsurance workflows. Touchstone Re reinsurance software solutions combine high-performance computing, flexible treaty modeling, and sophisticated portfolio analytics in a platform designed around how reinsurance professionals actually work.
Treaty modeling for complex structures
Apply reinsurance catastrophe modeling to any program structure, including quota share, surplus, facultative, catastrophe excess of loss, aggregate excess of loss, and hybrid. Build treaty structures visually, adjust parameters dynamically, and instantly see how modifications affect loss distributions to bring rapid "what-if" analysis to negotiations.
Portfolio optimization and capital management
Aggregate exposures across multiple cedants and treaty types, identify concentration risks, evaluate marginal impact of new business, and optimize your catastrophe reinsurance portfolio. Built-in capital modeling capabilities link treaty performance to required capital, supporting strategic decisions about portfolio mix and allocation.
ILS and alternative capital analytics
Get specialized reinsurance modeling for insurance-linked securities (ILS), including catastrophe bonds, collateralized reinsurance, and sidecars. Model attachment probability, expected loss, and investor returns. Our reinsurance software solutions support ILS structuring, pricing, and ongoing valuation with the same rigor applied to traditional treaty reinsurance.
Cedant exposure analysis
Validation tools identify data anomalies, assess insurance-to-value adequacy, and flag potential issues that could affect treaty performance—helping you differentiate between cedants with robust exposure data and those requiring conservative assumptions in your reinsurance risk modeling.
Multi-model comparison
Compare Verisk models with third-party outputs side by side to reveal where different perspectives produce different loss estimates. This multi-model approach helps you understand the range of possible outcomes rather than relying on a single model perspective.
Features and capabilities
Touchstone Re delivers production-grade reinsurance catastrophe modeling with unlimited concurrent analyses for parallel submission evaluation, automated workflow tools that standardize processes, and comprehensive audit trails for compliance. Advanced reinsurance risk modeling capabilities include sensitivity testing, optimization algorithms, and scenario analysis for stress testing. The platform supports both gross and net views, handles complex retrocession structures, and integrates with actuarial and financial systems for seamless enterprise deployment.
Flexibility to truly own your risk
Flexible options let you modify losses by event or by cedant, use custom models, and model custom lines of business so you can truly own your risk.
