’[This] is a massive new product area for us,’ says chief product officer
Insurance pricing platform Hyperexponential has announced the launch of a new core product offering.
Called portfolio intelligence, the product will make use of the firm’s data sources to perform portfolio-wide analysis and forecasting.
Noel Sequeira, chief product officer at Hyperexponential, said that the firm now has two key product areas – Hx renew, its core pricing engine, and portfolio intelligence.
Sequeira added: “I’m extremely excited to announce the launch of portfolio intelligence, which is a massive new product area for us.
“We’re starting with batch rating as our first launch in a series of updates as we credibly build towards a really ambitious vision.
“That vision includes better rates and dataset management in the platform, it includes better portfolio level reporting and in the slightly longer run, more advanced analysis and optimisation at the portfolio level.”
Beta release
The announcement came during a keynote talk at the firm’s flagship yearly conference, Hx Live 2025, on 10 July 2025.

The initial batch rating feature is set to go into an invite-only beta phase at the end of the month, with a wider rollout and additional features scheduled for the future.
Sequeira also explained how the tool would make use of the firm’s data sources to perform portfolio-wide analysis and forecasting.
He said: “We capture data with every transaction that flows from the platform – with portfolio intelligence we’re starting to close the loop. What we can now do is start to give you visibility on how these individual transactions actually impact the overall portfolio.
“If you want to propose changes to your approach to pricing in response to [these trends], we can give you the ability to set that up.
“We can let you simulate the impact of those changes on the overall portfolio really quickly and test your assumptions. And if you’re happy with what you’re seeing, you can feed that back really quickly into the pricing engine, so that you can steer and guide future underwriting pricing decisions as they happen.
“This essentially unlocks a fully connected actuarial control loop, which means you can steer the portfolio based on your business goals.”
