What Insurance Nexus does.
Insurance risk is the uncertainty an insurer accepts when it promises to pay for future losses: how often they occur, how large they are and how they accumulate. Insurance Nexus, the Global Risks Alliance’s platform for the sector, explains how that risk is written, priced, reinsured and supervised, and where losses fall outside cover. It shares industry understanding and does not underwrite, price or advise.
Its community
Insurance risk professionals; brokers and insurers; actuaries; insurance researchers.
Its outputs
Insurance-risk guides; sector resilience briefs; evidence-to-diligence methods.
Trace a shock in Insurance Nexus to the balance sheet.
Assembled from the Nexus Standards area profile Insurance and reinsurance: the shocks it names, the systems and sectors that carry the loss, the controls that dampen it and the data that observe it. Pick an initiating shock and step through the cascade to see which exposures it reaches and where losses could concentrate. The Map view places the run on an example geography with open data. Every weight is a stated assumption. An exercise, not a forecast, a valuation, a rating or investment advice. To model a place of your own choosing, open the full System Builder.

Insurance absorbs shocks, until it cannot.
Insurance is one of the main ways societies share the cost of misfortune. By pooling many independent risks, insurers can pay the losses of the few from the premiums of the many, and reinsurers spread the largest risks across global capital. This mechanism lets households rebuild, firms resume trading and lenders extend credit against insured assets.
The mechanism depends on conditions that are under strain. Pooling works best when losses are independent, measurable and not too large relative to capital. Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of some hazards and making past loss experience a weaker guide to the future. Cyber risk, pandemics and supply-chain failures produce correlated losses that strike many policyholders at once. Where risk rises faster than incomes, cover becomes unaffordable or is withdrawn, and losses fall back on households, firms and public budgets.
These failures cascade. Uninsured losses slow recovery after disasters, weaken borrowers, depress property values and add to public debt. Large insured losses, in turn, test insurer capital, raise reinsurance prices and transmit stress to the wider financial system. Understanding these channels is a shared problem for the whole industry, and no single firm can solve it alone.

Shared understanding, not underwriting.
Insurance Nexus is designed for insurance risk professionals, brokers and insurers, actuaries and insurance researchers who need common evidence and methods on systemic questions.
Insurance-risk guides
Sector-level explanations of exposures, risk transfer concepts and data limits, designed for shared professional use.
Sector resilience briefs
Evidence on how the sector absorbs and transmits shocks, with uncertainty and limits stated.
Evidence-to-diligence methods
Ways to turn hazard and exposure evidence into material a competent institution can review independently.
GRA does not underwrite, sell, solicit, negotiate, place or broker insurance, and it does not rate, advise on or arrange transactions. Readiness work is not approval. Because members compete, GRA’s programmes are designed around competition-law safeguards that keep cooperation precompetitive, set out in a written competition policy.
What Insurance Nexus means for exposure, loss and capital.
The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.
Exposure and loss at return periods
How losses from Insurance Nexus grow with severity, gross and net of reinsurance, against capital.
| Return period | Annual probability | Gross loss | Net loss | Net, capital = 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 in 10 | 0.10 | 14 | 10 | 10 |
| 1 in 50 | 0.02 | 33 | 21 | 21 |
| 1 in 100 | 0.01 | 46 | 27 | 27 |
| 1 in 250 | 0.004 | 68 | 39 | 39 |
| Average annual loss | 3.1 | 2.2 | 2.2 |
Scenario pathways
How Insurance Nexus could be stressed under the scenario families central banks and supervisors use.
| Scenario family | Transition risk | Physical risk | What a stress test asks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orderly | Early, gradual policy | Lower | Can the book absorb a steady repricing? |
| Disorderly | Late, abrupt policy | Lower to medium | What breaks under a sudden repricing and credit migration? |
| Hot house world | Limited policy | High and rising | Where do physical losses concentrate in collateral and insurance? |
Methods from the STEM Commons, partners across the Consortium.
Insurance Nexus applies actuarial mathematics, extreme value theory and tail risk, probability and statistics, climate and atmospheric science and artificial intelligence and machine learning, each described with its assumptions on the STEM foundation of Insurance Nexus. Inside Foundry it works with the NXS-DSS (decision cases and deliberation), The Global Risks Index (NXS-GRX) and NXS-EOP (earth observation and digital twins) systems, and its work is designed for the Finance and Insurance Readiness and Global Sector Risk and Resilience report series. In the annual Universe programme, its planned theme is protection gap evidence for a national portfolio.
Hazard and exposure science comes from The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), including Climate and Hazards at The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), Disaster Resilience and Recovery at The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) and Health Nexus at The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI). Governance of the same risks is convened at the Global Risks Forum (GRF) by Climate and Nature Governance at the Global Risks Forum (GRF) and Health and Biosecurity Governance at the Global Risks Forum (GRF). Within GRA, it works alongside Reinsurance and Catastrophe, Disaster Risk Finance and Actuarial and Quantitative Risk. All counterparts are listed on counterparts across the Consortium.

The areas of insurance and catastrophe this platform takes on.
Insurance Nexus studies how risk becomes insured loss and how insured loss travels: through carriers, brokers, reinsurers and capital markets, through households and firms left without cover, and through supervisors, pools and public budgets that carry what markets do not. Its pages set out the mechanisms, data, methods and decisions behind underwriting, catastrophe exposure, health and life risk, climate and protection gaps, with every value labelled by its evidence. It shares industry understanding and does not underwrite, price or advise.
Market structure
Carriers, brokers, reinsurers, managing agents, mutuals, takaful operators, pools and capital-market vehicles, and how risk and responsibility pass between them.
Underwriting and pricing
Risk factors, rating structures, data limits and the professional and regulatory boundaries on how risk is classified and priced.
Property and catastrophe
Natural and man-made catastrophe exposure, accumulation, catastrophe modelling and the portfolio view of property and casualty risk.
Health, life and longevity
Mortality, morbidity, longevity and pandemic risk, and the boundary between private cover and social protection.
Claims and resilience
Claims handling after catastrophes, fraud, cyber and the operational continuity of the systems policyholders depend on.
Protection gaps
The share of loss left uninsured, why it persists, and how it is transmitted to households, lenders and public budgets.
Climate and nature
Changing physical hazard, nature-related risk and the conditions under which risks stay insurable at an affordable price.
Insurtech and AI
Data, models and automation in distribution, underwriting and claims, and the governance of their effects on customers.
Built on named science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Every claim on Insurance Nexus rests on methods with a canonical page in the STEM Commons, so readers can see what a finding depends on and where its limits lie.
