Property/Casualty Insurance Overview & Outlook: Focus on Excess & Surplus Lines Operations
 |
This presentation made at the annual meeting of the Excess and Surplus Lines Association provides a comprehensive overview of the property/casualty insurance industry, with special attention to segments important to excess and surplus (E&S) lines insurers. Profitability trends are reviewed and full-year 2006 estimates are provided for key financial and underwriting statistics. A review of the E&S (non-admitted) markets indicates that E&S lines operations are growing faster than standard (admitted) carrier operations and often offer superior growth opportunities. The presentation also includes detailed data on capacity/capital trends (including entry of new capital), commercial lines and homeowners insurance pricing trends, investment results and recent changes in the distribution of financial strength ratings. A review of key line performance is followed by a discussion of the tort environment and potential expirations of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act.
The following presentation is called "Property/Casualty Insurance Overview & Outlook: Focus on Excess & Surplus Lines Operations". It was presented by Dr. Robert P. Hartwig on October 10, 2006.
