Cat Score®
Cat Score provides insurers with an opportunity to gain competitive advantage by fine-tuning underwriting for catastrophe risk exposure. Based upon catastrophe model analysis for the unique portfolios of individual insurers, this tool more accurately measures the cost of catastrophe risk at the customer level prior to binding their policies.
When an underwriter receives a policy application, the applicant's traditional criteria of credit and property loss history may be combined with the property's Cat Score resulting in better quality underwriting.
Cat Score allows insurers to implement pricing and underwriting strategies that take advantage of state of the art findings inherent in the latest catastrophe models plus their own unique underwriting strategies or knowledge of claim experience.
