Carrier Solutions
Our cat-risk.com marketplace platform enables risk carriers to quickly build profitable parametric portfolios. Automated underwriting allows far greater volume across a wider range of exposure, freeing underwriters to focus on complex risks.
Automated Underwriting
For simple risks, Yokahu's fully automated pricing algorithms handle the complete range of perils automatically. Set delegation controls based on geography, attachment points, premium sizes, exposure limits, rate concentration and more.
Build Profitable Portfolios
Improve profitability through intelligent risk selection, using on-platform tools to capture a portfolio of widely diversified and uncorrelated risks. Stack risks, tier capacity with different margin targets, or co-insure alongside other carriers.
Real-Time Exposure Management
Customisable dashboards allow exposure management teams to anticipate losses and model different loss events. Automatically calculate, review and approve claims payouts and push payments directly to international payment rails.

Build a Profitable Portfolio

The easiest way to build a profitable parametric portfolio

Automated underwriting allows a far greater volume of smaller deals over a far greater range of exposure, freeing underwriters to focus on pricing more complex risks. Our algorithms work with you to de-risk your portfolio, improving profitability.

Selectively insure across a whole range of perils, then fine-tune appetite based on geography, attachment points, premium sizes, exposure limits and rate concentration. Carriers can also automatically co-insure with others to reduce exposure — while Yokahu's automated claims process takes the hard work out of exposure management.
