How to Manage Risk and Insurance in a Volatile Region

July 11, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Caribbean concentrates more risk per square mile than almost anywhere on earth — and most businesses meet it with an unread policy and a hope. Risk is not weather. It is a portfolio, and portfolios can be engineered. The Problem, Lived “Desmond” owns a twenty-four-room boutique hotel and restaurant on the coast of...

Actuarial Insight for Boards: Turning Numbers into Strategic Advantage

June 27, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Across fourteen articles, this series has built one argument — that actuarial thinking is not a back‑office discipline but a way of seeing. This closing piece asks what it takes to convert that sight into decisions, and decisions into advantage. A number, on its own, decides nothing. A reserve estimate, a capital ratio, a...

Will the Fund Last? Social Security Sustainability in the Caribbean

June 24, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Almost every Caribbean territory runs a national social security scheme, and almost all face the same arithmetic: an ageing population, a shrinking contributor base, and benefits that will one day outrun the money coming in. The actuary’s task is to say when — and what it would take to change the answer. Nearly every...

Climate on the Balance Sheet: Quantifying What the Region Can No Longer Ignore

June 24, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Climate risk has stopped being an environmental footnote and become a financial one. It reaches the balance sheet through two channels — physical and transition — and the organisations that quantify it early will navigate the decade ahead far better than those that wait to be told. For most of the last two decades,...

Pricing the Storm: Parametric Cover for a Small-Island Economy

June 24, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

When a hurricane strikes, money is needed in days but traditional insurance pays in months. Parametric cover closes that gap — paying a pre-agreed sum the instant a measurable trigger is crossed. Its value, and its danger, lie almost entirely in how the trigger is designed. When a major hurricane crosses a Caribbean island, the...

Pricing for Profit: Actuarial Discipline in Product Development

June 23, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In competitive markets, price is set at the front line — but profit is decided in the assumptions. Without actuarial discipline, insurers grow their way into losses. There is a seductive logic in insurance that catches even experienced management teams. Write more business and the top line grows; grow the top line and the...

The Evolving Role of the Appointed Actuary in Caribbean Supervision

June 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Once a signature at the back of an annual return, the appointed actuary is becoming a strategic guardian of solvency — and regional regulators are steadily raising the bar. For most of its history, the role of the appointed actuary was easy to summarise and easy to underestimate: value the policy liabilities, certify that...

The Caribbean Solvency Convergence: How Regional Capital Regimes Are Quietly Aligning

May 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

How regional capital regimes are quietly aligning, what cross-border insurers should be doing now to anticipate the convergence — and why the carriers that wait for the policy announcement will be the ones playing catch-up There is no Caribbean equivalent of Solvency II. There may never be one. But the regional capital regimes that...

ORSA in the Caribbean: From Regulatory Filing to Genuine Risk Management Discipline

May 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Most regional ORSAs are written for the supervisor. The next generation will be written for the board. The difference is starting to matter — to regulators, to rating agencies, and to the carriers themselves The Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) is the most consequential governance document a regulated insurer produces. Done well, it tells...
