Karen Clark & Co. has released RiskInsight Version 4.3, the latest update of its open loss modeling platform.

RiskInsight’s interactive loss dashboards now automatically display Exceedance Probability curves by peril and combined, historical event losses, as well as the Characteristic Event losses for all return periods.

The platform supports custom models for all peril types, including flood and severe convective storm (SCS). Users will be able to track tornadoes and SCS in real time, immediately assess how much exposure they have in the affected area, and estimate likely losses.

RiskInsight Version 4.3 also offers expanded event catalog creation capabilities and an updated job manager that makes it easier to set up complex analyses and distribute them across multiple processors.

Hiscox London Market has launched a new flood product for U.S. homeowners, offering higher limits and a wider scope of coverage than policies provided by the National Flood Insurance Program.

FloodPlus uses a simpler definition of what constitutes a flood and provides broader cover for personal property, including outbuildings, as well as alternative accommodation while the property is being repaired.

The coverage is available for homeowners across the U.S. with dwelling values up to $1 million. FloodPlus can be bought as a standalone or alongside Hiscox’s existing homeowners insurance.
