HX launches insurance market information platform NOVA

HX, the data analytics and advisory division of Howden Group Holdings , announced the launch of NOVA, an insurance business intelligence platform, enabling users to better understand the insurance market and its drivers.

NOVA amalgamates unique data sets, including proprietary Howden pricing and placement information, loss trends, regulatory submissions, and broader market financials, to provide users with a view of the insurance market and competitive dynamics across business lines and regions. Through robust pricing, profit, and claims insights, users can better identify market opportunities, anticipate trends, mitigate risk and make data-backed decisions.

Built as a propriety platform by HX leveraging the latest technology, NOVA has been designed with usability and accessibility at its core, providing users with tools and data visualizations that facilitate a clear understanding of complex insurance data. Users can gauge portfolio performance against peers through the platform, stress test different scenarios, and optimize their portfolio steering with greater accuracy.

The platform has been assessed by several leading insurance firms across Bermuda, the US, and the London market as protégé clients.

“While data may be ubiquitous across the insurance industry, the market has long needed more homogenous and comprehensive data sets at its fingertips, alongside intuitive and accessible tools in order to analyse this information in real time. Powered by the most uniform and validated collection of insurance data in the market, NOVA has been designed to provide a 360 degree view of the market, to enable insurers to make more robust and strategic decisions.” – Michelle To, Head of Business Intelligence at HX.
