Scenario-Based Machine Learning (SBML) is emerging as a powerful refinement to traditional portfolio optimisation techniques used across the insurance industry. Instead of relying on simplified, linear assumptions, SBML applies machine learning to thousands of stochastic scenarios, enabling models to detect complex interactions, non-linear responses and multi-objective trade-offs.
