Underwriting
NLC Mutual is designed to be your pooling solution on all coverage lines. Unlike commercial reinsurers, our offerings are customizable and flexible. We work to create the right solutions for our members by constantly evaluating coverage options to meet evolving issues and situations.
Our sustainable, long-term pricing won’t drastically fluctuate with the whims of the market. Reinsurance rate calculations are based on real claim levels and experience, which ensure member pools are not priced out of needed coverage.
Mutual Insights
Through Mutual Insights members access powerful and sophisticated data analytics and visualizations.
This program—built on the Domo business intelligence platform—offers a proven value-added experience for individual pools as well as the collective membership.
Domo Tips
To help members get the most out of Mutual Insights, we have developed a collection of videos and resources to help you become more proficient in Domo. This library of tips will continue to grow and so will your skills.

Actuarial Services
Actuarial Consulting Services help members better handle the complexities of existing and emerging risks. Our dedicated Mutual staff, sometimes in collaboration with NLC-RISC, provide evolving services including:
Claims Projections for Emerging Risk Exposures
Actuarial estimates identify emerging exposures. For example, actuaries work with members to model current COVID-19 and PTSD workers’ compensation presumption claims.
Continuing Education
Mutual staff present on important topics such as reserving, pricing, and capital modeling. Educational sessions are offered through NLC-RISC conferences/webinars, and member Board of Trustees meetings.
Strategic Risk Management & Data Insights
Mutual provides strategic consulting services to member pools on a variety of topics, such as reviewing pricing methodology, approach to enterprise risk management, and carried reserve level. Additionally, staff brings an actuarial perspective to the reports and visualizations that members develop through the Mutual-sponsored data project in DOMO.
Risk Financing & Captive Solutions
Through modeling and quantifying unique risk exposures in a variety of lines of business, Mutual actuary staff can help members optimize their retention, pooling, and commercial purchase of risk. When applicable, they can also explore creative risk financing solutions to members’ reinsurance needs, such as the formation and restructuring of existing captive structures.
