Reserving isn’t just about closing the books. It’s a signal. A feedback loop. Maybe even a warning. Why listen? Because ignoring reserves is risky business.

In this episode, we’re joined by Charlie Stone, Partner at Lane Clark & Peacock, and Brian Fannin, FCAS, to unpack why reserving deserves a front-row seat in strategy conversations. From deterioration trends flagged by the NAIC to using reserving insights for faster pricing pivots, we explore how reserves can be your secret weapon—not just a regulatory checkbox.

We talk about:

• Why ignoring the reserving-pricing feedback loop is a competitive miss

• How regulators (and you) can use machine learning to spot red flags

• Reserving for the unknown: inflation, catastrophes, and the surprises you can prepare for

• The promise (and pitfalls) of individual claims reserving

Whether you’re a pricing actuary, data scientist, or product leader, this episode will change how you think about reserves—forever.
