Global Analytics

Global Analytics brings clarity to complex risk and supports confident reinsurance decisions.

Our team empowers reinsurance decision‑making across catastrophe modelling, actuarial analysis, portfolio management, and strategic advisory. Based in Prague, the team provides analytical depth and specialist capability to Price Forbes Re’s global platform.

Bringing together catastrophe modellers, actuaries, data scientists, portfolio analysts, and reinsurance practitioners with experience across insurance, reinsurance, consulting, broking, and capital markets. We translate complex risk into clear, market‑credible insight that supports underwriting, capital efficiency, and strategic outcomes.

We work as an embedded extension of our clients and broking teams; integrating directly into data, workflows, and decision cycles. We deliver defensible analytics, tailored narratives, and actionable insight that reflect true exposure and support confident engagement with markets, investors, and rating agencies.
