What It Means for 尤物视频Buyers

Rising premiums. Disappearing capacity. Tighter contract terms. This is the new reality for risk managers as they renew their property insurance programs. Brokers are reporting premium increases of more than 50 percent for many insureds.

The property/casualty insurance market is cyclical. A period of rising premiums and reduced capacity—a hard market—is followed by a typically longer period of falling rates and expanding capacity—a soft market. Analysts debate whether the current period of rising premiums technically qualifies as a hard market since certain key attributes are missing. Some call it a “transitioning” market instead. Risk managers, brokers, and underwriters, however, aren’t overly concerned about technical definitions—this passes the duck test: it looks, feels, and acts like a hard market.

For many people in the insurance ecosystem, this is their first experience of hard market conditions. While rate levels fluctuated somewhat over the past decade, the overall trend has been softening rates since 2004, the end of the last industry-wide hard market. Facing an uncharacteristically volatile market, many risk managers find it difficult to budget their insurance costs, or even to explain to senior management why premiums are rising so sharply. The pressure is on to find creative ways of keeping their total cost of risk in check.

For insurance carriers, rising rates are finally bringing relief from a prolonged period of chronically underpriced business that took a toll on the bottom line. But even though rate increases of 25 percent and more are now the norm, underwriters say more improvements are necessary to restore insurer profitability.
