# Position papers and *topic briefings.*

Substantive analysis on the regulatory and methodological questions Chief Risk Officers, Chief Actuaries and Heads of Climate Risk are working through this cycle. Free to read; the gated PDFs carry the full long-form treatment.

## Live regulatory feed

Worldwide insurance regulatory updates — auto-curated three times a week from PRA, FCA, EIOPA, BaFin, FINMA, CBI Ireland, NAIC, NY DFS, APRA, JFSA, ISSB, Lloyd's, IFoA and IAIS publications, with two-line Abgalis commentary on each.

## Position papers

Five flagship papers from the Abgalis editorial team. Each available as a free executive summary on the web and a full-length gated PDF for download.

- Why Cascading Risk Models Fail — three structural defects in current cascading-risk modelling and the cross-domain transmission alternative.

- Climate Stress & Operational Resilience — the five hidden transmission channels between climate stress and operational-resilience failure.

- PRA CP10/25: ORSA Implications — seven priority shifts every UK insurer should be tracking in the 2025–26 PRA cycle.

- Cross-Domain Transmission Channels — the flagship framework. How a single shock moves between the seven Abgalis risk domains.

- The Effect-Based Resilience Approach — six universal effect categories that transform how insurers prepare for the unknowable.

- When the Supplier Becomes the Systemic Risk — the UK's Critical Third Parties designation of AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle, and what cloud concentration means for insurers' operational resilience and ORSA.

## Topic briefings

Tightly-scoped guides on the questions buyers most often arrive on. Each one is a working brief, written for risk-team practitioners.

- Frontier AI as systemic risk: the July 2026 FSR and ESRB warning, read for insurers

- PRA SS5/25: climate-risk supervisory expectations and what insurers actually need to evidence

- ISSB IFRS S2: sustainability disclosure for insurers, and how it joins SFCR and ORSA

- ORSA climate scenarios: what makes a defensible scenario library

- TNFD for insurers: nature-related disclosure, dependency mapping and where to start

- Climate cat model validation: SS1/23 expectations applied to climate-conditioned vendor models
