What we do

Six ways we help

Senior, conflict-free advice across strategy, regulation, and risk — connected in a single relationship rather than handed between siloed providers.

01

Risk & Capital Strategy

BSCR and economic-balance-sheet advisory, solvency and capital positioning, and independent challenge on risk-based capital decisions.

02

BMA Regulatory Strategy

Navigating the BMA end to end — licensing and change-of-business, group supervision, CISSA/GSSA, and turning consultation papers into concrete action.

03

ILS Structuring Advisory

Advisory on ILS and alternative-capital structures: deal review, governance, and regulatory positioning for managers, vehicles, and investors.

04

Transaction & Due Diligence

Commercial and regulatory due diligence, transaction support, and independent review for M&A, legacy, and new formations.

05

Expert Review & Opinion

Independent second opinions, peer review, and expert input for boards, management teams, and counsel.

06

Training & Capacity Building

Practical training for boards, risk teams, and new entrants on Bermuda's regulatory and capital framework.

About

Market depth. Regulatory perspective.

Lighthouse Advisory is led by Ravi Pachai, FIA — an actuary with more than twenty years in the Bermuda re/insurance market.

Ravi has worked across underwriting, pricing, and risk at ACE Tempest Re, Validus, and AXA XL — where he served as Chief Risk Officer and owned the CISSA process. He later joined the Bermuda Monetary Authority as Deputy Director, working on financial stability and representing Bermuda internationally at the IAIS.

That combination — a practitioner who has priced the risk, run the risk function, and sat on the regulator's side of the table — is what Lighthouse brings to every engagement: senior, independent, and conflict-free.
