Engagement & fees

Fees follow scope, not billable hours.

Metavye works to a small number of clear engagement models | projects, retained intelligence, advisory counsel and executive training. Every fee is agreed in writing before work begins.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with Metavye.

01Fixed fee, agreed on scope

Defined project

A single decision with a clear question, defined evidence requirement and an agreed deliverable.

Typically used for

  • Country market-entry assessment
  • Competitor benchmarking review
  • Capital and reinsurance options paper

Fee is set before work begins, based on markets covered, depth of primary evidence required and the decision timetable.

02Monthly or quarterly retainer

Retained intelligence

Continuous coverage of chosen markets and lines, with scheduled briefings and access between them.

Typically used for

  • Quarterly regional intelligence briefing
  • Board and committee papers
  • Standing regulatory watch

Fee reflects the number of markets under coverage, briefing frequency and the level of on-call access required.

03Time-based, capped by agreement

Advisory counsel

Direct access to the Managing Partner for live commercial questions, renewals and strategic reviews.

Typically used for

  • Renewal and placement strategy discussions
  • Transaction or partnership reviews
  • Executive sounding board

Charged against an agreed rate with a monthly or engagement cap, so cost remains predictable.

04Per programme or per delegate

Training

Practitioner-led technical and executive training for insurance, reinsurance and financial services teams | in Singapore or in your own market.

Technical underwriting & reinsurance

Underwriters, portfolio and treaty teams

Treaty and facultative structuring, pricing discipline, specialty lines including credit, surety, trade finance, cyber and parametric covers.

Strategy & market intelligence for leaders

Senior management and boards

Reading Asian market structure, competitor behaviour and regulatory direction, and converting evidence into decisions.

How we price

Scope before fee

We agree the question, evidence base and deliverable first. The fee follows the scope | never the reverse.

No open-ended billing

Every engagement carries a fixed fee, a retainer or an agreed cap. You will not receive an unexpected invoice.

Senior delivery

Work is led and delivered by the Managing Partner. You are not paying for a layer of junior analysis.

Clear expenses

Travel, in-market fieldwork and third-party data are agreed in advance and charged at cost.

Published fee schedules rarely reflect the reality of advisory work in Asia, where scope depends on markets, data availability and decision timelines. Metavye therefore provides a written proposal with a firm fee after a short scoping discussion. Request a proposal.
