Data Insights

Strategic Risk Management & Data Insights

Mutual provides strategic consulting services to member pools on a variety of topics, such as reviewing pricing methodology, approach to enterprise risk management, and carried reserve level. Additionally, staff brings an actuarial perspective to the reports and visualizations that members develop through the Mutual-sponsored data project in DOMO.  

Captive solutions

Risk Financing & Captive Solutions

Through modeling and quantifying unique risk exposures in a variety of lines of business, Mutual actuary staff can help members optimize their retention, pooling, and commercial purchase of risk.  When applicable, they can also explore creative risk financing solutions to members’ reinsurance needs, such as the formation and restructuring of existing captive structures.
