Actuarial services

If your organisation includes a captive agency, actuarial services are a vital piece of your effectiveness and long-term viability. Marsh’s Global Captive Solutions Actuarial Group delivers exceptional actuarial services to clients from diverse industries, with a wide spectrum of property/casualty insurance exposures.

Whether for a certification of loss reserves, an initial captive feasibility study, due diligence on a merger or acquisition, an opinion on risk transfer question, or multiple other issues, your captive will at times require an actuary.

Marsh’s Global Captive Solutions Group is the only captive management group that offers actuarial services in-house, saving you time, money, and paperwork.

The group comprises credentialed actuaries and supporting actuarial analysts. Our actuaries are members of the Casualty Actuarial Society and American Academy of Actuaries and are qualified to certify loss reserves. They consult exclusively with captive and self-insurance programmes in numerous global domiciles.

Our Documentation

It’s important for actuarial work products to be transparent, allowing all parties to appreciate the results, approaches, assumptions, and limitations. Marsh’s actuarial reports state the actuarial findings and clarify the methods, procedures, data, and assumptions.

All our account activity is documented in a custom application, Service Tracking. In doing so, it preserves knowledge in a way that:

• Limits exposure to key person risk.
• Reduces paper waste.
• Manages business continuity risks.

Our Portability

Because they’re built around Microsoft Office programmes, our analyses maximise value by providing portability both within Marsh and externally for clients and their partners.
