Our Story: Risk Analysis to Save Your Company Money.
Alan Cantor has been a pioneer in the Risk Analysis Field, starting in the 1970s. Using his expertise in statistical forecasting, he saw early on the value of programming computers to process complex data. He developed the RiskMap® family of products to help make client data more manageable and predictive.
Mr. Cantor distinguished himself by completing successful and innovative projects across many industries. One example: his risk analysis of American nuclear power plants for the American Electric Power Institute saved U.S. electric utilities tens of millions annually.

Alan Cantor has a history of being a pioneer in the risk analysis field. Alan Cantor wrote the first GENSIM – Generalized Simulation Model at Marsh in 1979 (using 4-character years, enabling GENSIM and its derivatives to be more readily used through the Y2K transition).
-
Using Mr. Cantor’s expertise in statistical forecasting, many years ago applied what he learned at Wharton to the benefit of major risks for organizations to enjoy the value of a more transparent and fairer treatment in the insurance marketplace.
-
With the current proprietary RiskMap® automation of these proven technologies, RAS delivers these benefits to a broad spectrum of organizations and enterprises at economically compelling value propositions.

THERE IS MORE TO THE STORY
Mr. Cantor also did risk analyses of 25 years of 25,000 New York physicians malpractice claims.** His projections enabled the favorable placement of Medical Malpractice Insurance in weeks, after the NY Doctors policy had been suddenly cancelled by the Argonaut Insurance Company. This saved millions of dollars for clients, and accurately projected future losses. Looking back 5 years after the projections were made, the actual losses were within 1% from the projections! The mathematics works when the data are treated objectively and without the distortions of various “fudge factors” so common in the insurance pricing process.
Mr. Cantor developed the first copyrighted risk financing simulation model — the Airline Industry Model** — which was initially used to support optimal placement of hull and liability insurance for major airlines at Lloyds. The model formed the basis for pricing and sale of Aviation Liability Insurance with the sale of the Beech Aircraft King Air. The Copyrighted Airline Industry Model code went into the Public Domain, where its methodologies formed the basis for the pricing of flight insurance along with credit card purchases of airline tickets.
As part of his development of the copyrighted Airline Industry Model (which became part of the public domain), Mr. Cantor invented the concept of a hybrid exposure base (weighted average of multiple exposure measures), which was subsequently applied in statistical modeling in multiple industries, including financial services and healthcare. Mr. Cantor conceived, designed, developed, and produced seminar series which he then presented to over 300 Marsh executives. The topics included computerized automated discounted cash flow analysis for comparative risk financing alternatives. His work helped achieved tens of millions of dollars in additional recurring revenue for Marsh. When it became ever clearer to Mr. Cantor that PC-based technology could achieve comparable results for a broader base of clients, he first founded Cantor & Company, and now co-founded Risk Analysis Services LLC, continuing to develop statistical analytical tools to facilitate focused quantitative risk analysis.

He produced a risk analysis of American Nuclear Power plants for the American Electric Power Institute. This saved American Electric Utilities tens of millions per year, as well as other multi-million dollar savings for others.
Mr. Cantor conceived, designed, and produced a series of seminars which he presented to over 300 Marsh executives. They focused on computerized automated discounted cash flow analysis for comparative risk financing alternatives.
Mr. Cantor has been a speaker at annual Risk and Insurance Society (RIMS) Conferences for 13 years. He developed and presented Seminars on Loss Forecasting and Risk Financing in cities across the USA and in London.
