overview

With the goal of keeping business lines like VA offerings consistently profitable for the overall bottom line, most major insurers implement hedging programs to protect capital and earnings against market fluctuations. Proper hedging relies strongly on a deep understanding of both assets and liabilities, and Numerix Hedge Performance Services are uniquely qualified to bring greater consistency and understanding to this process to ensure more effective hedges. 

Our team of experts begin by examining the institution’s liability portfolio and their corresponding hedging program—then perform in-depth analysis and back testing. Numerix financial engineers will analyze the overall profitability and look at the overall success rate of the hedging and examine how the hedges are actually matching (or not matching) the underlying positions, and advise accordingly. 

The difference starts with our models, because Numerix experts can leverage our unique ability to model both the asset and the liabilities based on the same core analytics and, therefore, reducing model risk in the assessment of the hedge adequateness.
