Sophisticated Expense Projections

Here, it doesn’t take long for new team members to be exposed to projects with big implications. A Financial Management Program Associate, for instance, built an expense target model that simplified how costs are categorized by incorporating market growth, inflation, and fixed/variable expenses. The model was an invaluable asset to our Finance, Reporting, Production & Operations team.

Accounting for Shifts in Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Methodology

During a recent rotation, an Associate conducted a study to illustrate the potential impact of proposed changes by the S&P to its insurance rating methodology. The report, later presented to the Board of Directors Risk Committee, assessed how our ratings might evolve, identified risk areas, and determined possible outcomes.

US Personal Lines Planning

Changes in operational metrics can significantly impact our bottom line, so an Associate’s recent efforts to create a planning model that could quantify that impact in dollars was important. The exhibit, which was automated in Excel, jump-started our analysis, helped identify key drivers of plan changes, and spurred conversations with planning partners.
