Trusted by top-tier INSURERS

WHY CUOs WORK WITH KALEPA

CUOs are accountable for portfolio performance, but execution is distributed - across hundreds of daily decisions, multiple teams, and shifting market conditions. That makes it difficult to enforce consistent appetite execution, detect drift early, and demonstrate controlled underwriting to boards and reinsurers.
Kalepa closes the gap between strategy and execution by providing real-time portfolio visibility, consistent enforcement of underwriting intent, and measurable improvement in loss and combined ratios - supported by the reporting and auditability senior stakeholders expect.

HOW KALEPA HELPS

Kalepa gives CUOs a portfolio control layer that sits across underwriting operations - to ensure every decision moves the book toward the desired outcome

Real-time portfolio control

Kalepa provides continuous visibility into how decisions are shaping the book. Appetite compliance, mix shifts, emerging concentrations, and performance signals are tracked as they develop - turning portfolio strategy into proactive control instead of reactive guardrails.
Result
Steer toward profitability proactively instead of explaining variance reactively.

Profit-first submission prioritization

Not all submissions deserve equal attention. Kalepa automatically prioritizes inbound opportunities based on predicted bind likelihood, profitability, appetite fit, and portfolio impact - so capacity is focused on the business that improves the book.
Result
Increase GWP per underwriter by 30% while improving loss ratios.

Avoid bad risk with evidence-linked analysis

Kalepa provides a single pane of glass that unifies submission materials, internal data, and third-party intelligence into a decision-ready risk view. Loss-driving signals, control gaps, inconsistencies, adverse media, and regulatory issues are surfaced early with source-linked traceability.
Result
Loss ratio reduction: 450+ basis points

Deploy Professional Grade AI in weeks, not years

Kalepa works out of the box, integrates via API with existing systems, and scales across lines without lengthy custom development. Reliability and trust are supported through traceable inputs, documented rationale, and audit-ready reporting aligned to senior stakeholder expectations.
Result
Fast ROI with CUO-level impact in weeks, with defensible governance and minimal operational disruption.

What a platform like Kalepa does is allow us to have a consistent underwriting approach to build into the platform. These guidelines, appetites. So then we steer the portfolio in a direction that we want to steer it, but also in a direction that our reinsurers appreciate.
