In 20 years of existence Catco has realised a wide range of works and studies
for various actors of the insurance industry that can be classified into
3 types:
- Developement of rating software
- Studies and modeling
- On site long-term missions
1 :
Rating software for reinsurance/insurance
- For a main actor of Africa/Middle East reinsurance markets: full suite
of rating tools for non proportionnal reinsurance developped on Excel
- VBA language. The tools propose a panel of methodologies to quote treaties:
traditionnal methods based on statistical analysis of loss/exposure history,
modeling + Monte Carlo simulation processes, exposure rating. A specific
tool has been developped for liability reinsurance treaties, with extrapolation
methods for estimating the final amount of historic losses. The impacts
of Stability/SIC clause and financial discounts are also covered.
- For the cession department of a major french insurer: Excel base - VBA
langage - tool to extrapolate final amount of liability losses and estimate
the cost of non proportionnal reinsurance of its liablity portfolio.

all possibilities of reinsurance combination (Quota share + XS of loss

- For a french reinsurer: flood exposures modeling : vast bibliographic
research followed by development of models to classify and quantify flood
exposures in France
- For various french insurers:
-modeling of construction liability losses on decennal basis + development
of a tool to estimate reinsurance costs
-modeling of 'catnat' losses
-mapping of Seveso industrial risks
-modeling of aviation risks
-Combined analysis of wind speeds and losses for several historic
storms, using MeteoFrance database, GISs and companies loss database
-Miscellaneous economic studies requiring the use of multiple database
from various sources, especially french statistical office INSEE, mapping
database from french national map services IGN and other countries equivalent
services, cadaster database,...
