Why Credit Benchmark?

Underwrite more business, more confidently

A tiny percentage of underwriting opportunities are bound, leaving a huge amount of potential business on the table for direct insurers. Meanwhile, reinsurers need to map multiple books of business to effectively measure and report credit risk in their portfolio.

Relying on traditional credit risk data presents challenges: much of the insurance market is private or unrated, and available credit information can become stale quickly. Time-consuming analysis leads to inefficiencies when screening for new business.

Using credit consensus data, direct insurers can see what leading global financial institutions think of obligors, uncovering more compelling underwriting opportunities with fewer resources. Reinsurers can map, measure and monitor their portfolio more effectively.

How we can help your business

Case Study

The Client

A leading CPR business within the Lloyd’s of London specialty market arm of a top three US P&C insurance group.

The underwriters and credit analysts at this insurer found that traditional agency rating coverage of their names of interest fell short, and they lacked confidence in the quality and provenance of the data available to them. The actuaries were spending too much time on entity mapping and using external data references that were refreshed infrequently.

Credit Benchmark’s extensive consensus coverage on unrated and private names increased the client’s underwriting activity by enhancing the decision-making process, while the provenance of the data provided increased peace of mind. Weekly updates informed underwriting strategy and enabled increased management reporting, and the team benefited from Credit Benchmark doing the heavy lifting of entity mapping, allowing them to do business more efficiently.
