Aon expands reinsurance work with Moody’s into commercial risk

The products aim to offer more efficient risk transfer and improve casualty protection.

Aon has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Moody’s Insurance Solutions to reduce latency and accumulation risk in the casualty re/insurance sector, whilst advancing product innovation. 

The partnership will now extend beyond casualty reinsurance into commercial risk, focusing on emerging risks such as climate casualty, litigation finance, and social inflation.

The expanded collaboration will provide commercial insurance buyers with access to named-peril products, risk mitigation strategies, and insights into over 300 emerging risk perils identified by Moody’s Casualty unit. 

These products aim to offer more efficient risk transfer and improve casualty protection at risk-appropriate pricing, reducing uncertainty around exclusions, limits, and coverage disputes.

By combining Moody’s analytics capabilities with Aon’s global re/insurance relationships, the partnership supports better capital allocation and more informed casualty portfolio management.

Amanda Lyons, global product leader for Reinsurance Solutions at Aon, said the partnership is delivering capital-efficient products that better reflect exposures and support business growth. 

Robert Reville, head of casualty market development at Moody’s, said named-peril products are expected to contribute to the development of a casualty catastrophe market.
