Clearwater Analytics Unveils Product Enhancements that Boost the Accuracy and Reporting of its Award-Winning Platform

Update Features New NAIC Designation Categories, Solvency II Reporting Enhancements, Hybrid/Blended Benchmarks Methodology, and More

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN), a leading provider of SaaS-based investment accounting, reporting, and analytics solutions, today announced that it delivered new product features and enhancements in the second quarter of 2022 to support the latest accounting and reporting standards, enrich asset class reporting, and upgrade the user experience. 

"We're immensely proud of our Q2 product enhancements that incorporate customer requests, delivering new capabilities that enable operational efficiencies, regulatory compliance, and faster decision-making," said Souvik Das, Chief Technology Officer at Clearwater Analytics. "Our team has been focused on making improvements that speed up transaction processing time, reduce manual efforts with NAIC reporting and other regulatory requirements, and simplify decision making. With just a few clicks, our clients can quickly act on data they trust using Clearwater's best-in-class reporting capabilities and gain an enviable competitive advantage."

To keep insurers updated on the latest regulatory guidance changes regarding investment accounting and reporting, Clearwater delivered several enhancements to NAIC reporting that allow our clients to have more accurate and timely reporting for NAIC regulatory guidance.

• NAIC Designation Category Updates. In this release, NAIC Designations were replaced with NAIC Designation Categories (NAIC Designations with Modifier) to align with the increase of NAIC designations.
  
  
• Schedule D and Schedule DB Updates. With updates to Schedule D parts 1 through 5 and the Schedule DB for derivatives, Clearwater enhanced our offering for logic-driven, in-depth reporting that aligns to our clients' specific data fields, delivering greater accuracy.   
  
  
• Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Reports. With risk-based capital reports, Clearwater has updated the book adjusted carrying value for mortgage loans. This update provides greater accuracy in reports that are in line with RBC reports and NAIC designations.

Given that insurers have a year to prepare for new Solvency II reporting requirements, Clearwater has created new tooling that allows clients to override input values to their desired values for SCR calculations.  

To meet specific benchmark needs that require a combination of data sources, hybrid benchmarks were introduced so that our clients can combine two or more indexes on a percentage basis, allowing for more in-depth and accurate reporting and analysis.

Clearwater further enhanced the scope of its pricing offering to include more accurate Listed Derivatives pricing evaluations.   

Clearwater updated its Net Asset Value (NAV) calculation rules for limited partnerships to bring Clearwater's NAV calculation rules into conformity with those articulated in the Institutional Limited Partnership Association's Principles, Practices & Policy model.

The new "Cash Flow and Yield Analysis" reports are lot level reports that include key data points to provide users with greater insight into amortization calculations and inputs. The reports include such data as cash flow source and cash flow effective date, amortization adjustment dates, interest recognition guidance, and future looking cash flows projections summarized at the lot level.
