Research Methodology

Zürich Insurance Intelligence employs a rigorous, multi-source analytical framework to produce actionable intelligence for the global insurance and reinsurance industry.

Data Sources

Our analysis draws from authoritative primary sources including:

  • Regulatory Filings — FINMA annual reports, Solvency II disclosures, NAIC statutory filings, Lloyd’s market results
  • Industry Bodies — Swiss Re Institute sigma reports, Geneva Association research, International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) publications
  • Rating Agencies — AM Best, S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s, and Fitch insurance sector reports
  • Capital Markets — Artemis deal directory, Swiss Re Capital Markets, catastrophe bond pricing data
  • Academic Research — Peer-reviewed actuarial and risk management journals

Analytical Framework

Each piece of analysis undergoes a structured editorial process:

  1. Data Verification — All quantitative claims are cross-referenced against at least two independent sources
  2. Contextual Analysis — Market data is interpreted within the broader strategic, regulatory, and macroeconomic context
  3. Peer Review — Research is reviewed by subject matter experts prior to publication
  4. Update Cycle — Key metrics and indicators are refreshed on a rolling basis

Limitations

Our analysis is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute insurance, investment, or legal advice. While we strive for accuracy, the insurance industry involves inherent uncertainties, particularly in catastrophe modelling and long-tail liability estimation. All projections represent analytical estimates based on available data at the time of publication.
