Oasis Loss Modelling Framework, the open source catastrophe modelling platform, has launched new guidance for exposure management.

The new report is marketed by Oasis as a concise guide, co-authored by a group of 15 exposure management experts.

Oasis cited rising climate risks, new market pressures, and increased investor scrutiny as particular concerns for exposure management.

Designed for C-Suite executives, the paper highlights best practices to strengthen resilience, regulatory compliance, and profitability amid an unpredictable global environment.

The paper, “Navigating the Storm: The C-Suite Guide to Mastering Exposure Management”, aims to answer core questions about modern exposure management for re/insurance leaders.

  • How much uncertainty should be expected in catastrophe models?
  • What are the challenges of risk models in a commercial environment?
  • What are the main challenges in managing climate change exposure?
  • What should you do now?

The report provides steps for aligning exposure management functions with broader corporate strategy, adapting models to reflect evolving risks, and integrating cross-departmental insights.

“As exposure risks and investor demands grow, having a diverse approach to risk modelling is essential,” Oasis LMF CEO Dickie Whitaker said.

“Genuine model diversity helps us consider different perspectives, aiding us in assessing and adapting to risks from a broader viewpoint. This guide equips leaders to critically evaluate and integrate models, preparing their organisations for a future where resilience is non-negotiable,” he continued.

“Critically, we will continue asking questions and gathering insights, and expect to produce follow up research in 2025. In addition, the authors of this report are conveying a series of Expert Panel Debates featuring leaders from across the (re)insurance and risk management sectors to discuss and refine the recommendations. This will foster a collaborative approach to overcoming the challenges ahead and shaping the future of exposure management in your organisation,” Whitaker added.
