CAPITAL MODELING, COVERED
Effective capital management is key to not only achieving regulatory compliance and protecting your GI/P&C business but also to sustaining its profits.
But to strike the right balance between capital efficiency and growth, you need risk models that can meet your firm’s changing needs precisely.
Thanks to a user-friendly interface and a library of simple, transparent actuarial code, FIS General Insurance Capital Modeling makes it easy
to create non-life insurance projection models and better manage
your capital.
You can quickly adapt or extend the code to model any bespoke products or regulatory variation – and readily understand which factors drive certain model results.
