The Quiet Risk: Why Reserve Adequacy Decides an Insurer’s Future

June 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Reserves are the largest number on most insurers’ balance sheets and the least understood by their boards. Getting them wrong is rarely loud — until, suddenly, it is catastrophic.

The Actuarial Advantage: Why Caribbean Boards Can No Longer Outsource Foresight

June 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

They are endorsing a chain of assumptions reached by someone else — and the governance question that matters is whether the board has seen the argument, or only the conclusion. This is the second of four papers in The...
