Welcome to our final newsletter of 2024. It's been another busy and positive year for Oasis and our partners. We have many events planned for 2025 and have started organising our series of Oasis Insight conferences. Look out for details as they are released, especially our flagship event in London on 30th April to 1st May which should not be missed.

Oasis wishes you, your colleagues and family, a fun and peaceful Christmas and New Year.

Navigating the Storm:

The C-Suite Guide to Mastering Exposure Management

A concise guide co-authored by a group of the world’s foremost exposure management experts convened by Oasis Loss Modelling Framework

This report provides (re)insurance leaders with strategic insights to navigate the evolving complexities of catastrophe modelling and exposure management in today’s dynamic market landscape, answering key questions about modern exposure management.

As the (re)insurance industry confronts rising climate risks, new market pressures, and increased investor scrutiny, the guide addresses critical questions shaping the future of exposure management:

How much uncertainty should be expected in catastrophe models?
What are the challenges of risk models in a commercial environment?
What are the main challenges in managing climate change exposure?
What should you do now?

Dickie on 'Voice of Insurance'Podcast

Dickie Whitaker: "Anytime anybody says to me, 'the model's got it wrong again', I know, almost always, that the person saying that doesn't understand how to use a model"

Oasis CEO, Dickie Whitaker appeared on the 'Voice of Insurance' podcast, hosted by Mark Geoghegan. Alongside Dickie was Emma Watkins from Lloyd's and underwriting veteran Rupert Atkin who all discuss the topic 'Do you know how models work?'

This insightful discussion covered many topics around the functions of cat modelling and exposure management in the insurance industry and questions whether we, as an industry, know as much as we think we do.
