Catastrophe risk modelling specialist Karen Clark & Company (KCC), has launched a new version of its US Severe Convective Storm (SCS) model, incorporating a range of advancements that further strengthens the firm’s approach to quantifying losses from one of the weather perils driving a significant share of insured property losses across the country.

Arbol, the technology-led underwriter of parametric risk transfer, climate, and weather re/insurance business, has announced that it has launched an Innovation Unit, which is set to be led by Dr. Clement Atzberger, who has been appointed to the role of Chief Scientist.

Karen Clark & Company (KCC), the catastrophe risk modelling specialist, has launched RiskInsight® 4.16, the latest version of its RiskInsight open loss modeling platform, which introduces advanced performance, automation, and scalability enhancements for insurers, reinsurers, and insurance-linked securities (ILS) managers.
