#1
P&C Combined Ratio (Industry)
97.4%
MANUAL
Industry combined ratio for property & casualty insurance. Below 100% = underwriting profit. Current 97.4% = thin margin. Cat events and social inflation are the primary upside risks.
#2
Social Inflation Index (Verdict)
12.4% YoY
MANUAL
Rate of increase in US liability jury verdicts and legal system costs. Rising social inflation is the primary driver of reserve inadequacy and loss development. Primary actuarial concern.
#3
Loss Reserve Development (P&C)
Adverse $2.8B
MANUAL
Year-over-year adverse reserve development for the P&C sector. Adverse = prior year reserves insufficient — actuaries must strengthen. Favorable = margin release. Drives EPS volatility.
#4
Risk-Based Capital Ratio (Avg)
412%
MANUAL
Average insurance company RBC ratio vs. 200% regulatory minimum. Well-capitalized sector. Below 300% = regulatory scrutiny. Above 500% = capital return pressure from shareholders.
#5
Mortality Improvement Rate (Life)
0.8% YoY
MANUAL
Annual mortality improvement rate. Below pre-COVID trend (1.5-2%). Post-COVID excess mortality still working through life insurance portfolio reserves. Key assumption in valuation.
#6
Insurance Investment Yield (Float)
4.8% earned
MANUAL
Average investment yield on insurance company float. Rising significantly from ZIRP era. Higher yields improve combined ratio tolerance and reduce pressure on underwriting margins.
#7
Catastrophe Load (Pricing)
8.2% of premium
MANUAL
Cat loading built into P&C pricing — the expected annual catastrophe cost. Rising load = higher pricing required. NatCat losses above load = adverse reserve development.
#8
IFRS 17 Reserve Impact
Industry adjusting
MANUAL
Status of IFRS 17 insurance accounting standard implementation. Changes how reserves and profit are recognized globally. Significant actuarial workload and investor communication challenge.

The ValixData Actuarial Science desk organizes market context for professionals working in insurance & risk. It separates live market feeds from reference indicators so readers can see what is current, what is a baseline, and which source supports each figure.
The desk focuses on signals including P&C Combined Ratio (Industry), Social Inflation Index (Verdict), Loss Reserve Development (P&C), Risk-Based Capital Ratio (Avg), and related indicators.
Desk status: Core desk. Reference values are not presented as live production feeds. Source cadence and methodology are documented on the methodology page.
Read data methodology →Actuarial Science is a Core desk.
Core means the profession has an explicit signal configuration. Commercial priority is driven by demand, source readiness and economics.
