UNDERSTANDING
AND PRICING RISK
Our long-term sustainability relies on
our ability to price risk accurately and fairly.
Insurers set premiums before the cost of claims is known. The challenge is to anticipate the potential risk and price it accurately and fairly, ensuring its neither overpriced nor underpriced. Expertise in understanding risk is vital to an insurers long-term viability. Thats why we have the most extensive record of claims history in Australia, and have specialists such as industry researchers, climatologists, underwriters and actuaries, who collect and analyse data every day.
