Aon launches D&O Risk Analyzer
Aon unveiled its Directors and Officers Risk Analyzer, a digital application that allows risk managers of US-listed public companies to make “data-driven, technology-enabled decisions” to mitigate executive risks facing their directors, officers and businesses.
The tool is the latest release in a suite of new offerings that use data and analytics to deliver differentiated insights that help clients make better decisions in an evolving risk landscape.
Aon’s D&O Risk Analyzer provides clients and brokers quick access to:
- Real-time analytics, which help clients quantify the likelihood and magnitude of potential D&O losses with data-driven insights on risk retention, risk transfer and maximizing the value of insurance. The risk models can be adjusted in real time based on new client information to provide revised insights on view of risk.
- Risk exposure and loss models, which provide a better understanding of exposure to adverse events, from small to catastrophic impact. Brokers and clients can explore the factors driving D&O litigation and exposure (including stock volatility, liquidity issues, disputed mergers and acquisitions and regulatory matters).
- Stock price drop analysis, which measures how varying stock drops for clients may result in theoretical D&O loss based on historical settlement data.
- Total cost of risk (TCOR) visualizations of all client’s potential insurance options, which help clients explore actionable options to determine value, optimize limits and design the best potential insurance programs in the market, enabling not only better decisions but also the ability to best communicate those decisions.
The launch of Aon’s D&O Risk Analyzer follows the 2024 debuts of the firm’s Property Risk Analyzer and Casualty Risk Analyzer, which provide exposure visualizations and model potential losses to help Aon clients make informed decisions about their risk and insurance options. Aon will unveil additional risk analyzer tools in the coming months to provide data-driven insights on key risks. All Aon analytics tools are designed by Aon’s Risk Capital and Human Capital capabilities in collaboration with Aon Business Services to provide Aon clients with actionable insights that allow for greater control over their insurance program structure.
“Rising litigation and defense costs, equity market volatility and shifting regulatory frameworks have added complexity for corporate officer risks. It is more important than ever for risk managers to assess D&O liability and the role of insurance in protecting public officers and board directors. Our D&O Risk Analyzer, together with Aon’s brokers, provide a holistic analysis of the D&O risk landscape, helping clients make better decisions.” – Timothy Fletcher, CEO of Aon’s financial services group.
“Aon’s D&O Risk Analyzer exemplifies our firm’s commitment to serve clients as they make data-informed decisions. As the risk landscape grows more complex, we will continue to provide actionable analytics solutions that enable our clients to confidently assess risks and insurance offerings.” – Joe Peiser, global CEO of Commercial Risk Solutions for Aon.
