Barrie and Hibbert

Global Leader in Economic Scenario Generation

At a time when the global financial industry is facing major regulatory change, adherence to governance and regulatory process is absolutely imperative. In such a climate, there is a heightened emphasis on the need for effective risk management and as a consequence, the investment activities of those responsible for balancing risk with opportunity are very much in the spotlight.

Renowned in the industry for its cutting-edge financial modelling tools, Barrie & Hibbert has grown into a market leader in providing stochastic risk management solutions to actuaries, chief risk officers and asset managers throughout the world.

Over two-thirds of top global insurers use Barrie & Hibbert models to support the measurement and management of economic and risk capital.

Established in 1995 by Andrew Barrie and John Hibbert, the company has grown rapidly into the global company it is today. Today, we remain committed to our founding principles of delivering state-of-the-art modelling tools to help pensions, insurance and retail clients to identify, quantify and manage the financial risk in savings and investment products, institutional portfolios and life and pensions balance sheets. We have developed a powerful library of financial models that can be used to understand the complicated joint financial relationships that drive uncertainty in long-term financial plans.

Many of the global actuarial and accounting consultancies use our models as part of their own service offering.
