Oxbow Partners launches suite of tools for reinsurance market insight and strategic planning
February 15, 2024
Oxbow Partners has launched a new suite of reinsurance insights tools. Designed for reinsurance leaders, underwriters, strategists and investors, our three tools complement each other to deliver insights on competitor performance, placement opportunities and key cedent moves.
Competitor Insights:
Our Competitor Insights tool allows reinsurance executives to compare the performance of reinsurers in the market accounting for c.$170bn of P&C premium (2022). The data spans from 2010 to latest, making it ideal for comprehensive long-term analysis. The data includes following aspects:
- Premiums (incl. ceded share)
- Claims (incl. split into catastrophic vs attritional losses)
- Expenses (incl. split into admin vs acquisition expense)
- Investment income and invested assets
- Profitability and operating ratios
Our P&C reinsurance data is collected directly from reinsurer accounts and investor publications which can then be viewed through two different lenses. Level 1 data is unadjusted reported data. Level 2 data includes adjustments to incorporate public data points that can be superimposed onto published financial information, for example reducing GWP for internal cessions or direct business.
Portfolio Insights:
Our Portfolio Insights tool allows reinsurance executives to quickly learn about their cedents’ portfolios, identify where there are profitable segments or clients in the market, and benchmark their own portfolios.
Our data is based on regulatory returns and our analysis provides insight on:
- Client & competitor concentration across all major European lines of business
- Industry profitability of ceded premiums by line of business over time (since 2016)
- Individual client profitability of ceded and retained premiums by line of business
Cedent Insights
Our quarterly Cedent Insights product provides underwriting teams with up-to-date analysis of key cedents around the world, providing leverage to internal marketing teams. Our reports provide insight on topics such as:
- Key developments in Strategic direction, ESG & tech initiatives
- Peer comparisons across premiums, key ratios, balance sheets and investment performance
- Deep dives into U.S. premiums written and cedent relationships
