How to reach the top 1% of Reinsurance Analysts

Four moves, straight from how the highest-paid in this field use AI in 2026:

1
Master cat modeling Go deep on Moody's RMS and Verisk Touchstone β€” building, tuning, and defending catastrophe models. Analysts who own the loss estimates behind a treaty, not just run them, price the book.
2
Earn the ARe Add the Associate in Reinsurance (ARe) or CPCU, and start actuarial exams (CAS/SOA). Credentialed analysts who can price and structure move toward underwriter and pricing-actuary pay, not back-office rates.
3
Code the analytics Build pricing and portfolio-optimization models in Python and R instead of spreadsheets. Analysts who automate submission triage and exposure cleansing, then reinvest the hours in structuring, become indispensable to the desk.
4
Move into ILS Specialize in insurance-linked securities, parametric covers, or specialty treaty structuring at a broker or reinsurer. Designing the deal β€” cat bonds, sidecars, complex programs β€” pays far above running someone else's model.
πŸ’‘ The move that pays: Structuring the deal β€” cat bonds, parametric covers, and complex treaties priced on judgment about tail risk no model fully captures β€” is where reinsurance pays the most.
