Risk, Insurance & Strategic Advisory Services
We provide specialist advisory solutions across banking, enterprise risk, insurance, IFRS 17, investments, and pensions — combining deep technical expertise with practical strategic insight to help organisations manage risk, strengthen resilience, and drive sustainable performance.
Banking
At Pistevo Risk, we partner with banks to tackle their most pressing risk challenges. We enhance credit and market risk models, strengthen stress testing and scenario analysis, and improve liquidity planning and operational resilience. Our work addresses cyber risk, regulatory compliance, and governance of models and data — delivering clear risk visibility, reliable capital planning, and resilient operations.
Enterprise Risk Management
Our actuarial services blend rigorous quantitative modeling with practical, governance-minded insights. We identify and quantify financial, operational, and strategic risks; develop robust risk appetite frameworks; and perform stress and scenario testing to stress-test capital adequacy and resilience — enabling data-driven decision making and transparent risk reporting.
General Insurance
The general insurance sector faces ongoing pressure from volatile loss amounts, pricing inefficiency, capital requirements, and increasing regulatory scrutiny. At Pistevo Risk, we provide evidence-based guidance and governance-driven insights that support prudent decision-making and sustainable performance.
Health Insurance
The healthcare sector faces complex financial and risk-management challenges across hospitals, health systems, and provider networks. Pistevo Risk brings end-to-end capabilities — data governance, advanced modeling, risk assessment, and transparent reporting — to help organizations improve cost control, financial resilience, and strategic decision-making.
IFRS 17 Implementation
IFRS 17 standardizes insurance contract accounting, delivering greater transparency, comparability, and clarity in financial reporting. At Pistevo Risk, we provide end-to-end IFRS 17 services — from scoping and data governance to model implementation, transition, and ongoing disclosures — ensuring compliant, auditable results.
Investments
Pistevo Risk partners with investment teams to pursue stable, long-term value while navigating the complexities of today's markets. We emphasize disciplined governance, high-quality data, and transparent disclosures to support informed decision-making and regulatory alignment — helping align investment outcomes with strategic objectives.

Life insurance faces tougher rules, new products, longer life spans, and risks like lapses — all requiring clear, reliable reporting for pricing and capital management. At Pistevo Risk, we deliver careful analysis, solid governance, and clear, practical guidance backed by strong data and modern technology.
Pensions & Employee Benefits
At Pistevo Risk, we focus on identifying and mitigating key risks facing pension programs — from funding volatility and longevity risk to investment and regulatory uncertainties.
