Guy Carpenter's Instrat Unit

Instrat� - Guy Carpenter

Guy Carpenter's Instrat^® unit has an unparalleled ability to help clients achieve a deeper, broader understanding of their risks. Our Instrat professionals apply a wide range of advanced modeling techniques – from sophisticated experience and exposure rating to advanced risk and simulation modeling – to help clients profile risk for virtually any line of business against a wide spectrum of reinsurance options.

A proven leader in the catastrophe modeling arena, we provide our clients with access to all of the major earthquake and hurricane models as well as proprietary models that analyze other perils – such as hail, tornado or flood – and focus in on the risks of specific regions. But as powerful as they are, these tools are just a small part of the story.

The real competitive advantage for clients comes from the quality consultation that results when our account executives collaborate with Instrat staff. Among Instrat professionals are not only actuaries – including past recipients of the Casualty Actuaries Society's prestigious Dorweiller Prize – but also some of the industry's foremost specialists in catastrophe modeling, finance, statistics, meteorology and myriad other sciences and disciplines. They are the professionals who translate black and white quantitative information into real-world solutions and compelling results.

Located throughout the world, Instrat colleagues serve as local resources that help clients better understand and quantify the uncertainties inherent in their businesses. Working in close partnership with Guy Carpenter account executives, Instrat specialists can help support clients' critical decisions in numerous areas, including reinsurance utilization, catastrophe exposure portfolio management, new product/market development, rating agency, regulatory and account impacts, loss reserve risk, capital adequacy and return on capital.
