Casualty ILS Portfolio Risk Optimizer using Multi-Agent CrewAI

Structuring casualty insurance-linked securities requires balancing long-tail liability risks against capital return benchmarks. You will construct a multi-agent investment analysis team using CrewAI to evaluate casualty ILS tranches and optimize portfolio allocation under macroeconomic stress scenarios. Achieve a Sharpe ratio improvement of at least 18% over standard baseline strategies.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

weights_sum_to_one

Allocation weights must sum to 1.0 (+/- 0.01).

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

sharpe_improvement_pct

Relative percentage increase in portfolio Sharpe ratio over baseline • target: 0.18 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
