Catastrophe risk model and climate analytics provider KatRisk has acquired Symfos, the UK-based company behind the Orchestra underwriting and portfolio intelligence platform.
KatRisk explained that the acquisition will combine its climate and catastrophe modelling with Symfos’ underwriting tools to help insurers move faster, price risk better, and manage growing natural hazard exposure.
As climate risks intensify, the KatRisk–Symfos deal aims to turn complex risk data into practical tools for underwriting, exposure management, and executive decision-making.
Martyn Sutton, General Manager at KatRisk, commented, “Symfos has built a powerful platform that helps insurers turn complex risk data into meaningful decisions.
“By bringing our teams and technologies together, we’re making it easier for customers to bring clarity to complex risk and support more confident decision-making.”
Bao Cam, CEO of Symfos, added, “We are joining a group of companies that share our values and our ambition. This acquisition gives Symfos the scale and support to grow while staying true to our philosophy of openness and our customer-first approach.”
Symfos’ Orchestra platform reportedly delivers a single, unified view of portfolio risk, enabling underwriting, exposure, and analytics teams to understand exposures, test scenarios quickly, and make informed decisions in real time.
It is also said to support dynamic pricing and rapid portfolio analysis, without tying customers to any single catastrophe model.
In that context, KatRisk observed that Orchestra will add a critical decision layer to its ecosystem by making catastrophe model outputs easier to interpret, compare, and apply across underwriting and financial decisions.
