Summary:
- HazardHub allows portfolio managers to bulk-enrich an entire book of business with property-level peril scores and variables for a more granular view of risk.
- This enriched data enables quick portfolio diagnostics, such as one-way cuts to identify segments with high loss ratios, and provides a common language to align underwriting and pricing strategy.
- The transparent, aggregated data provides defensible evidence for reinsurance negotiations and cat-model integration, and it can be used to create targeted lists for profitable growth.
A Clearer View of Portfolio Health
Portfolio managers are tasked with steering results across entire books of business. HazardHub makes that easier by providing property-level peril scores and variables that can be bulk-appended across hundreds of thousands of risks.
With consistent, transparent inputs, managers can segment, diagnose, and take action with confidence.
What You Can Do with HazardHub
HazardHub provides the data foundation for sharper portfolio decisions. With it, managers can:
- Run one-way cuts to spot segments driving higher-than-expected loss ratios.
- Append variables book-wide to enrich every policy in force for deeper analytics.
- Propose changes to appetite rules or rating structures based on loss experience.
- Support reinsurance and capital decisions with transparent peril-level documentation.
These tools allow portfolio leaders to move from broad averages to targeted, evidence-based adjustments that strengthen P&L outcomes.
Book-Wide Enrichment at Scale
Once HazardHub data is integrated, portfolio-wide stratification and trend studies can be run in minutes rather than weeks. Managers gain the ability to:
- Compare performance across perils, geographies, and customer segments.
- See early signals of risk creep near flood or wildfire boundaries.
- Identify profitable niches for growth while reducing exposure in underperforming areas.
Aligning Strategy Across Teams
This portfolio view ensures that underwriting and pricing teams stay aligned, with data serving as the common language.
Portfolio analysis doesn’t live in isolation. HazardHub’s data creates a common foundation that underwriting, pricing, reinsurance, and distribution teams can all draw from.
Practical benefits include:
- Shared language: peril scores and A–F grading simplify cross-team discussions.
- Consistent decision-making: all departments work from the same variables and risk views.
- Faster alignment: less time reconciling data, more time implementing strategy.
This alignment strengthens overall portfolio health and ensures that insights at the book level translate into coordinated, company-wide action.
Supporting Reinsurance and Capital Decisions
Reinsurance negotiations and capital allocations demand defensible evidence. HazardHub makes it easier to walk into those conversations with clarity:
- Peril bucketing: apply A–F grades for quick communication of portfolio health.
- Transparent aggregation: roll up variables seamlessly for cat-model integration.
- Audit-ready documentation: provide regulators, reinsurers, and leadership with clear, consistent evidence.
This approach not only streamlines reporting but also strengthens positioning in competitive reinsurance markets.
Turning Data into Growth Lists
HazardHub also enables growth-focused strategies by helping managers build marketable lists for the segments where they are most competitive. These lists can be routed to marketing teams through existing workflows, ensuring that insights translate directly into new business opportunities.
Growth lists can also be used internally to:
- Guide distribution strategies by showing agents where new opportunities align with carrier appetite.
- Prioritize inspections for properties where remediation could unlock profitable business.
- Support retention efforts by identifying policies likely to renew profitably.
By connecting analytics to everyday actions, HazardHub ensures that growth lists aren’t just static exports but living tools for portfolio strategy.
