Verisk Analytics

Verisk was taken private in 2024 by a consortium led by Stone Point Capital, a private equity firm focused on financial services. No single family or individual holds majority control; governance follows a private-equity-owned corporate structure.

Verisk earns most of its revenue from subscription licenses for insurance analytics software, data services, and catastrophe risk models. Clients pay annual fees for access to ISO rating information, Xactware remodeling tools, and AIR Worldwide catastrophe models. The firm also charges transaction-based fees for usage of its claims and compliance solutions.

Verisk reports owning over 30 petabytes of data, including 39 billion premium and loss records and 1.9 billion claims (per Verisk website, 2024). The dataset is proprietary and built through decades of industry collaboration, giving Verisk a competitive advantage in insurance analytics.

No. Verisk is a data and analytics company serving the insurance industry, not a capital allocator. It does not manage assets for external investors and does not make equity investments. Its revenue comes entirely from data subscriptions, software licenses, and professional services.

Verisk does not target investments in assets, companies, or funds. As an analytics provider, it does not have a sector-avoidance policy for allocation purposes. Its product focus is exclusively on insurance and adjacent verticals like construction, sustainability, and real estate.

In 2024, Verisk announced that its analytics would be available through Anthropic’s Claude via Model Context Protocol connectors. The partnership allows insurers to access Verisk’s proprietary data and models directly within AI workflows, increasing the use of Verisk data without altering the firm’s capital structure.

Verisk does not maintain a publicly disclosed philanthropic foundation or charitable arm separate from the analytics business. Any corporate giving falls under its standard CSR reporting.
