ReMetrica for Life, Health and Pensions
Life insurers, reinsurers and pension funds are being
driven by regulations, rating agencies and shareholders
to develop a stochastic view of their key risks rather than
traditional scenario-based modelling.
In response, Aon Benfield has launched a suite of
new components within ReMetrica to provide a fully
stochastic framework that evaluates the key risks of long
term products and their uncertainties, plus how these
risks may be mitigated through reinsurance and capital
markets solutions.
Holistic Solution
Aon Benfield has undertaken extensive development to
bring the best of ReMetrica’s stochastic modelling to its
life, health and pensions clients. Its powerful modelling
capabilities – which can also be set to deterministic mode
– enable insurers to test a range of different strategies and
scenarios for a variety of applications. It also provides a
combined modelling solution for composite insurers.
Key Benefits
• ffective evaluation of reinsurance structures: Assessment
E
of different reinsurance structures on a stochastic (notably for
excess of loss) or deterministic basis.
• Solvency II: We augment clients’ Solvency II infrastructure
by using ReMetrica to model scenarios such as a blast at a
sports stadium and to advise on reinsurance solutions that
could reduce capital requirements.
• Optimise capital requirements: Models a comprehensive
suite of life, health and pensions risks in order to optimise
capital requirements.
• Risk appetite: Gain insight into the benefit of reinsurance
with the ability to measure the volatility ceded. This will
assist with work around risk appetite.
• tress testing functionalities: Improve understanding of
S
key risks and their sensitivities, including diversification
benefits.
• Transparency: The model allows the user to follow and
dissect inputs and outputs from any nominated scenario,
as well as analysing simple interactions.
Life, Health and Pensions Modelling Enhancements
The ‘multi-state’ model concept for actuarial
applications underpins the modelling for long term
business and means that providers can map the journey
of policyholders throughout their lives. Traditionally
this has been used for health and disability but now
ReMetrica can apply this to all lines of business including
assurance and annuities.
ReMetrica provides an intuitive modelling framework
familiar to the actuary, while providing more
transparency, granularity of data and accurate modelling
options, such as incorporating the changes in the
risk of death after the occurrence of a disease. All
this is achieved through user-friendly, purpose-built
components that do not require any programming.

PACE
Reinsurers look for opportunities to write new business while monitoring the aggregate catastrophe exposure across their portfolios. To help
reinsurers make best use of their capital, PACE – Aon Benfield’s catastrophe accumulation platform – enables reinsurers to understand the
marginal impact of programmes and in turn offer competitive rates to insurers.
Portfolio
Optimiser
The Portfolio Optimiser provides analysis into the optimisation of risk and return of a portfolio using conditional value at risk (CVaR)
measure. Portfolio Optimiser links the optimisation problem modelled within ReMetrica and allows users to define any linear
optimisation problem.
CRAFT
CRAFT (the Curve for Risk Analysis Fitting Tool) allows you to fit statistical distributions to sample data. Being oriented at risk analysis,
CRAFT is designed to fit bounded datasets, and includes an array of tools for analysing the fitted distributions from a risk analysis point of
view.
ASTRA
ASTRA is an Excel-based Solvency II Standard Formula tool, developed by Aon in response to the demand for a simple, easy to use and cost
effective solution to completing the standard formula calculation. ASTRA allows non-life insurance companies to complete the full solvency
capital requirements (SCR) calculation and can also aggregate life risk charges into the total SCR.
