How many people pay for insurance, year after year, and nothing happens except paying premiums? That was the case for Eva Mallek. Then about 20 years after she bought the insurance, she burned. Allstate claimed there was no coverage because she was not living in the home at the time of the fire. Mallet said she never received a copy of the policy and was unaware of the requirement. Eva Mallet, who did not even submit a letter to the Court of Appeal, won. Allstate could not prove they ever delivered a copy of the policy. The federal appeals court ruled for her, finding:1 As to Allstate̵7;s second substantive argument, the district court properly granted summary judgment to Mallek because Allstate did not present any evidence on summary judgment to rebut Mallek’s sworn testimony that Allstate did not provide her with a copy of the Standard Homeowners Policy prior to her loss… . Even considering Allstate’s response to the order to show cause, it still has not presented any evidence to establish a genuine dispute of material fact. Allstate argued that it expected one of its employees to testify at trial that, according to Allstate’s business records, the Standard Homeowners Policy was sent to Mallek in 1996. But Allstate did not submit an affidavit from its employee to support that claim… I wonder if Allstate will advertise how it treated Eva Mallek so others can know what to expect if they buy insurance from Allstate. Advertising is legalized to lie. 1 Mallek v. Allstate Ins. Co.No. 22-86, 2023 WL 3513783 (2d Cir. May 18, 2023).

Allianz becomes latest insurer to opt out of Arctic oil and gas Europe's largest insurer announced the move as part of a broader policy to align its business with global climate goals. LONDON — Europe’s biggest insurer Allianz plans to take a harder line on insuring the oil and gas industry, including new projects in the Arctic, as part of efforts to align its underwriting policies with the world’s climate goal, the company said on Friday. The move is the latest by a major insurer to curtail insurance to the energy sector, a leading driver of greenhouse gas emissions, and comes as scientists warn of a rapidly closing window to limit the worst effects of global warming. Other major insurance companies, including AIG and Swiss Re, have already taken similar steps, and those come as many large international banks have said they will cease financing many oil and gas projects, especially in the Arctic. Those announcements drew backlash from some politicians who favor more drilling in the region. Allianz’s move also follows a report from the International Energy Agency last year which said no more investment was needed in new oil and gas fields if the target was to be met. With pressure growing to accelerate corporate efforts to rein in emissions, Allianz said from the start of 2023, it would no longer issue new property and casualty insurance to fund new oil and gas projects, and stop renewing existing contracts from July 2023. The new exclusions would cover exploration and development of new oil and gas fields; construction of new mid-stream oil infrastructure; construction of new oil power plants; and those linked to projects in the Arctic, Antarctic or coal-bed methane, extra-heavy oil and oil sands, as well as ultra-deep sea fields. “With these new guidelines, Allianz is strengthening its promise to contribute to an orderly decarbonization of the economy,” said Allianz board member Günther Thallinger. As of January 2025, Allianz said it would only insure oil and gas companies which were on a science-based pathway to net-zero emissions by 2050, including the major oil companies responsible for the lion’s share of emissions. Starting at the same time, Allianz also said it would provide no insurance, facultative reinsurance, or reinsurance for a single risk or defined package of risks, or funding to companies which get more than 10 percent of their revenue from oil sands, after previously setting the threshold at 20 percent. NGO Insure our Future said it welcomed the move by Allianz, “which raises the bar for the insurance industry” and called on others in the sector to follow suit. Allianz is the 10th major insurance company to adopt oil and gas restrictions, it said, and there was “real momentum now for all insurance companies to adopt oil and gas policies that align with the climate science.” Among others to have tightened their policies in recent months are Swiss Re, the world’s second-biggest reinsurer, which said it March it would no longer insure most new oil and gas projects.

Insurance agents play an important role in helping mitigate risk at early companies Many service companies, like insurance agencies, law firms and accounting firms, dream of working with the next big technology company. But the work required to land the next Google or Facebook starts early for insurance agents. In the latest Cheatham Chats, I spoke with agent Travis Holt about the current state of technology companies and how he began working with the industry. Holt is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Brush Creek Partners, an insurance agency recently acquired by Baldwin Risk Partners. During the conversation, three trends emerged (plus a bonus insight from me): The technology market has cooled off from the highs it reached in 2021. This chart shows the stock performance of the big five technology companies (“FAANG”), which includes a dip in 2022 (subscription req.): Holt works with many venture capital and private equity firms, along with technology companies. And while he was quick to mention that financing rounds are still occurring, the current overall economic trends will create difficulties for many companies that were anticipating a financing round. For any agent working with technology companies, it's important to evaluate new risks that emerge when capital markets shift. For example, many technology companies are accepting “down rounds” (financing based on lower valuations) and laying off employees. These circumstances can lead to insurance claims and lawsuits against directors and officers, or by terminated employees against the company. When a startup first launches, it may not need insurance; an idea being incubated does not necessarily create insurable risk. But Holt was quick to point out that an idea can quickly transform into a company and unexpected risks will evolve rapidly. Agents should proactively work to identify these risks. According to Holt, “(a) lot of the work with early stage technology companies is about helping them minimize cost and meet contractual requirements. . . These businesses evolve and move so rapidly that you can’t just wait until somebody’s insurance renewal to have the discussion on an annual basis around what they need.” Holt described one scenario where a technology company signed an enterprise contract and then approached him to get insurance required by the contractual terms. Holt had to explain to the company that the price of the insurance would exceed the value of the contract. If agents and technology companies work together early, they can manage contractual terms that impact insurance. As I interviewed Holt, I was struck by how some agents can win big if they focus on the technology sector for years. Holt’s journey is an example of the natural progression that occurs if you start working with technology companies. This is how I see the progression of representing technology companies: Startup → Funded Company → IPO or Acquisition → Private Equity and Venture Capital Portfolios I’ll use my previous company, RiskGenius, as an example. First, it was an idea, then we created a company. Years later, we received financial support from venture capitalists. Eventually we were acquired by another company; by the end, we had many venture capital firms involved in our transaction. For the service professional working alongside a technology company, each of these events is an opportunity to start working larger opportunities. For example, Holt began working with startups and now works with billion dollar private equity firms. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that technology companies expect their insurance agents to use technology for quoting and binding insurance. I can still recall the day that an insurance agent handed me a printed out ACORD form and asked me to fill it out with no guidance. Not only did I not know how to report on EBITDA (we were a tech company!), but I couldn’t believe I was completing a paper application. The forward-thinking agent will use technology, like a Bold Penguin Terminal, to quote and bind commercial insurance. Better yet, many technology companies will want to start the quoting process themselves before engaging with an agent to understand options. With Bold Penguin Storefront Pro, agents can direct these technology companies to a central quoting platform. If you have any questions about this webinar, the topics discussed, or these products, please reach out. The second installment in the Bold Penguin series on The Evolving Risks of Small Businesses addresses flood risks and flood insurance coverage benefits. Michael Drummond, Head of Cyber and Tech E&O at At-Bay answers 3 questions on myths, trends, and the evolution of cyber risk insurance and threats The first installment in this series on evolving risks for small businesses addresses cyber risk management, mitigation, and insurance.

The Durango Fire Protection District said farewell to one of its longtime employees, as Rod Allen decided to retire after four decades. Allen, 60, began his firefighting career as a volunteer in 1983. He said he’s not sure yet what he plans to do next, but he plans to stay in the Durango area. “It was a good run. I have met the benchmarks and it’s time to move on,” he said. “ … As far as the future, maybe I will continue to farm.” Allen began his firefighting career with the Animas Fire District, which eventually consolidated into the Durango Fire Protection District. About four years later, he began working seasonally for the Bureau of Land Management as a range technician and firefighter. He plowed snow during the winters at Purgatory Resort to make ends meet. In 1996, Allen took a full-time job with Animas Fire and moved up the ranks, eventually becoming a captain and a battalion chief. Battalion chiefs are the highest-ranking tactical officers on a shift. They set schedules, ensure employees are up-to-date on training and oversee most incidents. During his 40 years, he responded to numerous downtown Durango fires, including the Roundhouse Fire in 1989, the Central Hotel Fire in 2006, the Season Fire in 2008 and the Newman Building Fire in 2009. He also responded to numerous wildland fires, including the 2002 Missionary Ridge Fire and the 416 Fire in 2018. There were also numerous rescue calls and EMS calls, including those involving rope rescues and difficult extractions. “The chance of changing the outcome makes it worthwhile,” Allen said of his four decades as a first responder. Deputy Chief Randy Black, who will become fire chief early next year, said Allen was the instructor of his first wildland firefighting class in 1990. He described Allen as having a calm perspective with a big-picture view and on organizational mindset. “Working with him throughout the years was a privilege and an honor,” Black said. “He selflessly served our community as a volunteer and a paid member for over 40 years, which is amazing in today’s world.”

Reinsurance is broken. Reinsurance deal-making has always relied on good information. So why isn’t reinsurance data anywhere near as good as it could be? Shouldn’t preparing and sharing deal data be easy for an industry trading hundreds of billions in annual premium? We think so, at least. Having battled for better data in our prior roles as reinsurance buyers, brokers and underwriters, we realised we weren’t getting anywhere. In a highly integrated cedent-to-broker-to-reinsurer marketplace where systems can’t talk to each other and numbers don’t reconcile, we felt our industry’s infrastructure was in need of an overhaul. It was time for a new chapter for reinsurance deals and data, enabled by shared technology to fill the gaps between cedents, brokers and reinsurers. So we decided to fix it. Understanding the complexity and magnitude of the issue from our reinsurance careers, we knew better than to attempt it alone. We began our journey running hackathons and testing events with industry member associations, drawing on their expertise to design scalable customer experiences for reinsurance dealmaking. As our cause gained traction, we collaborated ever more closely with outwards reinsurance teams, their brokers and their underwriters, to solve pain points and create a vastly better deal-making experience. They were as excited as we were. Technology entirely dedicated to reinsurance. With a suite of reinsurance software tools under continuous iteration since 2019, our cutting-edge reinsurance technology obliterates reinsurance practitioners' challenges. If it’s manual and complex, we automate with precision commands. If it’s repetitive and time-consuming, we get it done instantly. Our offer to cedents, brokers, and reinsurers is speed, efficiency and accuracy. We take away the admin and let you focus on the dance of the deal. A modern reinsurtech company. We run a company that cares deeply about its people and culture, promoting a balanced career lifestyle with an invigorating mission at its core. Because at the end of the day these are the people who are realising our vision to save reinsurance from data armageddon. None of us wants to spend our working day copying and pasting between spreadsheets and digging around for data lost in emails. When each of us quit the old world of reinsurance to join Supercede, it was to build something better. Get in touch if you’d like to find out what we can do for you.

Insurance Times is back with another virtual ceremony, this time to celebrate the best of claims excellence in the industry. Who collected more than one award and who won the same award for the second year running? Due to ongoing lockdown restrictions connected to the Covid-19 pandemic, Insurance Times returned virtually in 2021 for its annual Claims Excellence Awards, which acknowledges and celebrates claims service excellence in the UK general insurance sector. Dedicoat was joined by the awards judges and the Insurance Times editorial team in presenting the 21 awards up for grabs. Saxon East, Insurance Times’s content director, opened the event by addressing the online audience - he noted how claims service has never been more important amid the current pandemic climate. The final and most prestigious award of the afternoon was for 2021’s Claims Champion, which was won by Claire Lashbrook, director of Claims Consortium Group. This category recognises an individual that has made a major contribution to general insurance claims. Following the win, Lashbrook said: ”I’m absolutely delighted to have been awarded the prestigious Claims Champion title for this year. ”I was completely overwhelmed by the judges’ kind comments and recognition and the reasons they selected me – it is such an honour. ”It’s great for the work that is being done in the claims sector to be recognised - congratulations to all the other amazing finalists and winners.” Insurtech FloodFlash bagged the Claims Startup award for the second year running. Speaking on this victory, Adam Rimmer, chief executive of FloodFlash said: “We are hugely proud to win Claims Startup of the Year for the second year running. ”It’s a testament to the great team at FloodFlash and their efforts to put customers first in every single claim we handle. My thanks to them and to the judges who see our parametric cover for what it is: game-changing.” Several firms also celebrated winning two prizes. Horwich Farrelly won two awards, including Claims Product Solution of the Year – Corporate Advisory, after wowing the judges with an entry that illustrated the benefits for insurers in using data. The law firm also won the Fraud Solution of the Year category. David Scott, the company’s partner and head of innovation and client solutions, said: “To have two winners at the Claims Excellence Awards is a truly incredible result for us, particularly given the tough competition we were up against in both categories. ”It is testament to the considerable amount of work our counter fraud and IT teams have put in over the past 12 months in developing this market-leading innovation. “We also couldn’t have achieved this without the support of our fantastic clients who, by using HOLT and seeing the results themselves, have joined us on this exciting journey.” Jared Mallinson, partner and head of fraud at Horwich Farrelly, added: “Both these wins reflect not only the considerable amount of work undertaken by our counter fraud and IT teams in the past year, but also our determination to continuously innovate in order to fight fraud across the insurance industry.” Keoghs, meanwhile, also celebrated two award wins, including the Credit Hire Solution of the Year award, thanks to its “industry-wide legal strategy” for tackling inflated credit hire claims. The law firm also scooped Claims Product Solution of Year – Motor for a machine learning approach to processing high volume, low value road traffic accident claims. Insurer Markel UK was highly commended in the Commercial Lines Claims award category, while the winner in this category was QBE. However Markel UK then bagged gold to win the Claims Service Solution of the Year – Insurer award for thinking outside the box. A spokesperson for Markel UK said: ”We put our SME customers at the heart of everything we do, which is why we are delighted to win. Covid-19 created a denial-of-access nightmare for a 9,500-strong childcare membership group, rendering them unable to access workplaces or accept children into homes. In an incredibly short space of time, we built a claims automation portal to rapidly settle claims. We’re extremely proud that this solution has been recognised by the judging panel and most importantly that we were able to deliver our Expect More promise to our customers in their time of need.” Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions won the online event’s first award of the afternoon in the category of Broker Claims Achievement - the judges were impressed with the firm’s staff retention and “impressive NPS score”. Meanwhile, the award for Insurer Claims Achievement was won by Zurich because it “put the customer first”, according to the judges. The Claims Product Solution of the Year – Claims Management award went to Entegral, which impressed the judges by “delivering 50% revenue growth during lockdown”. Whereas the Claims Product Solution of the Year – Technology prize went to CFC Underwriting, in recognition of its proactive tool that helps reduce threats from emerging risks. The award for Claims Service Solution of the Year – Claims Management Company went to Sedgwick and The Hunting Dynasty for its unique, behavioural science-based approach to customer service delivery, which particularly benefited vulnerable customers. Claims Service Solution of the Year – General went to Geobear, Sedgwick and Legal General (L&G). The trio joined forces to redesign an end-to-end process for on-site subsidence repairs. Otso Lahtinen, Geobear’s UK chief executive, said: “We are humbled to work with professionals like Sedgwick and L&G to create innovative ways of saving time, money and environment for the whole supply chain.” The Claims Service Solution of the Year – Technology Supplier accolade went to Arbitrate because of its solution that uses intelligent automation and advanced data analytics. This year, firms were also recognised for claims solutions specifically designed for use during the pandemic. Beazley scooped a highly commended award in the Claims Team of the Year – Covid Response category, while Gallagher Bassett were the resulting winners thanks to a “people first, then process strategy”. With micromobility really taking off during lockdown, the Claims Team of the Year accolade went to an independent broker that specialises in cycle insurance, The Plan Group. The judges were impressed by the firm’s “passion, innovation and strong customer service ethos”. The award for Claims Training Excellence went to Romero Group, for a “well thought-through training programme” that shows the broker cares about its staff. On the win, Romero Group managing director Simon Mabb said: “If the impact of the last year proved anything, it’s the ability of our people to come together and overcome adversity - whether that be dealing with the impact of the pandemic, or tenaciously getting the best results for our clients through claims and renewals. ”Investing in [staff] has always been the lifeblood of our business and I’m so proud of our HR and training teams for their tireless effort in establishing the hugely successful Romero Academy.

SA’s power crisis a major risk for companies Infrastructure blackouts, cybercrimes and business interruptions were identified as top risks. SA’s power crisis has been identified among the top risks for companies in the latest Allianz Risk Barometer. Image: iStock South Africa’s power cuts have been identified as a major risk for companies looking to invest in the country. The Allianz Risk Barometer report released on Tuesday unveiled the top concerns for businesses globally. The survey by 3,069 risk management experts from 92 countries revealed infrastructure blackouts, cyber crimes and business interruptions as SA’s top risks for businesses. Meanwhile, the fear of power disruptions has emerged as a top risk for the second year in a row. However, on a global scale, cyber incidents topped the list. Cyber incidents have been identified as the number one global risk, ranking as a major concern for companies in various industries including financial services, consumers as well as the government. “Cyber is the cause of business interruption that companies fear most, while security resilience is their most concerning environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk issue,” according to the report. Global Head of Risk Advisory Services at Allianz Commercial, Michael Bruch is not surprised. “Businesses and the wider economy are now reliant on digital services and infrastructure for both critical and everyday services,” he said. “Almost everything is now linked to technology. But once you are connected, it opens the door to hackers to steal data or threaten disruption for extortion,” he added. The report reveals that cyber attacks are likely to increase rapidly in 2024. The threat of AI The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been hailed as a notable stride in technology, simplifying traditional methods while revolutionising some industries. Unfortunately, AI has fallen into the hands of cyber criminals who’ve misused it to commit internet crimes. “Hackers are beginning to use artificial intelligence (AI)-powered language models to increase the speed and scope of ransomware attacks, as well as create new malware and produce highly convincing phishing emails and deep fakes,” the report suggested. Business interruption has been ranked as the second major global risk. Head of Risk Consulting at Allianz Commercial, Marianna Grammatika explained that business interruption remained a notable risk due to companies’ reliance on supply chains for critical products and services. “It is the extent of the disruption that becomes the focus point. Some sectors of industry operate with supply chains that have extensive geographic footprints,” she said. Meanwhile, Allianz Commercial Business Interruption Group Leader Alberto Barani believes the prominence of business interruptions reflects the volatile environment companies currently operate in. “We live in a very interconnected world. Despite efforts to improve resilience, the need for efficiency means many companies still run with low levels of stock and just-in-time manufacturing, which results in little margin for errors or disruption,” he said.

Azerbaijan, Baku, 26 September / Trend corr. U.Ismayilova / Electronic management of insurance disputes is being established in Kazakhstan, which will enable to apply to insurance ombudsman and participate at meetings interactively, Vitaliy Verevkin, the Kazakh insurance ombudsman, told Trend on 26 September. A total of 20 companies function with the Kazakh insurance ombudsman, which firstly established in the post soviet countries. Insurance companies get definite profits from the ombudsman's service, Verevkin said. The united standards will be fixed to settle clients' complaints on insurance cases, as well as to solve insurance cases and it is the first and most important thing at a strategic plan. The ombudsman seeks to achieve that client of insurance company will not be afraid of obscure settlement and this factor will not frighten off him/her to purchase insurance services. The second positive moment is that client understands his/her ability to solve any payment problem quickly, competently and unbiased. Client will clearly understand that his/her insurance company does not avoid payments through all possible and impossible ways, whilst it seeks to settle problem more quickly without encumbering client with extra expenditures on problem settlement. The first and most important factor for clients is to get unimpeded and free access to settlement of their problems with insurance companies. "The ombudsman removed at most obstacles, which prevented clients of insurance organizations from applying to protect their interests," Verevkin said. The insurance ombudsman institution will be established in Azerbaijan, Namig Khalilov, the head of the insurance supervision department of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Finance, said earlier. The insurance ombudsman institution will be a state organization, rendering free services of the insured people's rights protection. Free services to solve disputable insurance services will be realized to protect insurance consumers' rights. Khalilov said that a decision to establish the insurance ombudsman institution was made to solve disputable issue more quickly and efficiently between insurers and insured people, as well as to create trust and transparence at the insurance market of Azerbaijan.

The application of herbicides and pesticides creates significant liability exposures for lawn and ornamental care companies. For this reason, specific insurance coverage is needed to protect their business in the event a third party is harmed either through bodily injury or property damage. Introducing a One of a Kind Coverage for Lawn and Ornamental Care Companies The average spray truck/rig can hold 400 to 600 gallons of product. Imagine one of your technicians doesn’t dilute the product properly and heads out for a full day of work. Thirty homes received an application from the same product and it resulted in the “burning” or destroying of them all. This means your company is liable for the damages and thereafter replacement of 30 lawns. The Landscape Services Workmanship Error – Property Damage policy provides coverage for this very scenario where a normal policy leaves you uninsured. If you treat plants, trees and shrubs then you have the same concerns. Imagine if you damage a mature tree in error due to applying the wrong type of chemical or not diluting the product enough. Our policy will respond to replace the tree. If you’d like more information about this policy, contact NALP’s insurance partner Drew Garcia with Rancho Mesa at [email protected]. - Accidentally burning your customer’s lawn is a business risk. However, burning 30 lawns can put your entire business at risk. We have coverage for your customers’ property that your company inadvertently damages in error. - Treating shrubs and trees with chemicals can accidentally damage them beyond repair. We have coverage to replace shrubbery and trees that have not survived a treatment. - Spraying herbicides or pesticides can cause a third party to claim they’re sick because they inhaled fumes. We have coverage for bodily injury. - While installing plants, trees, shrubs or sod, they can get damaged or stolen. We have coverage to replace these materials. NALP’s safety programs are produced in partnership with Rancho Mesa. This article was published in the Jan/Feb issue of the magazine.

Insurance Audits are a Pain Point for Businesses: What You Need to Know Guest Blogger: Virginia (Gin) Kinneman, Agency Owner of Kinneman Insurance Business insurance policies are written on the basic assumptions of an estimate of the coverages needed to ensure that the business’ risks are covered. Insurance companies have the option to audit a company to be sure they are insuring the business correctly for the right price; this option is built into all business policies. Unfortunately, Insurance audits are often one of the biggest points of pain for business owners. If a policy is being audited, the business will be notified by mail or email. The audit itself can be completed in multiple ways; it can be done by phone, filling out at form online, or by a visit from an auditor. The audit usually happens about thirty days after a policy expires. Even if the policy is canceled, the business is obligated by contract to still complete the audit. If an audit is not completed, the insurance company may increase the renewal premium (?) or payroll insurance costs based on their experience, or even cancel the policy outright. If a business fails to complete the audit– even if that company opts not to renew a policy– the insurance company will notify the state of any noncompliance. This may cause any future policies to be cancelled regardless of insurance carrier, and the state may impose fines too. Something to keep in mind when preparing for an audit is that the policy was written with certain class codes, which will be found on the declaration page. The auditor will be looking to see how the business performed within those codes. Sometimes an auditor will find that a business is doing work outside of the codes– this may cause an adjustment. Other adjustments may occur if payroll or sales are different than reported. Seldom does an audit come back exactly as written or renewed. Keep in mind that auditors do make mistakes, and an audit may be appealed. In fact, many insurance audits are appealed. When the audit is being performed, auditors look carefully for subcontractor use. It would be smart for a business to obtain proof of insurance from all subcontractors ahead of time to avoid paying an extra insurance expenses. There may still be an increase in cost of insurance for subcontractors, but it will be lower if the business has a certificate of insurance to prove coverage. The best advice to reduce the pain of these audits is to keep clear payroll records that demonstrate what employees do. The insurance agent who wrote the policy will be a good resource to clarify any issues brought about by the audit. Think of the insurance agent as your partner in the process. « Previous Next »

Cyber tail could catch out new entrants as claims pressure mounts Tuesday, October 31, 2023 Speaking to The Insurer, Tokio Marine Kiln's Head of Large Account Cyber, Paul Gooch shared his thoughts on the part intangible assets play in the valuations of publicly traded companies and how cyber risk is increasingly featured as a specific risk factor in industry reports and risk rankings, requiring greater focus on the peril from insurers. Considering the sustainability of the current competitive environment in cyber insurance and the claims pricing cycle, he cautioned that new market entrants may not be adequately considering the tail risk: “Insurance is cyclical but cyber for the moment is somewhat prone to shorter, more volatile cycles than other classes. I think that’s driven by the risk landscape – not only do threat actor techniques and capabilities evolve quickly, so does the privacy and data protection environment,” he explained. He went on to stress the importance of threat intelligence as a differentiator in underwriting. Read the full article at The Insurer here.

Jason Cedrone, Angela Iannetta and Danielle Gorst – Jones DesLauriers, Navacord Whether it’s a privately owned business needing to restructure an outdated insurance program or a multimillion-dollar publicly traded company trying to comply with state and federal laws for a huge new project, finding the right insurance solution can be daunting. Understanding the spectrum of risk transfer products on a granular level—and knowing how to tailor the right solution to each client? Calling it a challenge would be an understatement. Then again, for people like Jason Cedrone, Angela Iannetta and Danielle Gorst, their consultancy approach to risk transfer strategy helps to simplify client decision making while maximizing cost savings. The three are part of Jones DesLauriers, Navacord, a Canadian insurance and risk management firm. “Risk and insurance are often an underserviced segment of any business,” Cedrone says. “Our proposition is to deliver best in market expertise that drives value into the overall business strategy.” The importance of mitigating risks Cedrone, a partner and account executive with over two decades of industry experience, works mostly with companies facing cross-border operational risks. He’s also engaged by private equity firms with a growing interest in maximizing the expense line within their portfolio companies. Iannetta also touts more than 20 years of experience. As a partner and director of analytics and alternative risk solutions, she builds complex mathematical and financial models for clients who are looking to self-insure risks by utilizing offshore and/or onshore solutions. She helps companies reduce their total cost of risk through alternate financing solutions like captives, where a company creates a subsidiary that then insures the parent company’s risks. Meanwhile, 25-year insurance veteran Gorst works on a more personal level. In her role as national practice leader of financial lines, she’s created several large and complex directors’ and officers’ liability programs for public and private boards of directors across Canada and with U.S. public listing exposure. She also provides her clients with guidance and education on personal liability associated with serving on a board—and how to insure against it while minimizing risks. “It all comes down to understanding your client’s and prospects’ personal and corporate exposures and their overall tolerance for risk,” Gorst says. Staying local; thinking global Although Jones DesLauriers, Navacord’s over 2,000 employees are all located in Canada, those like Cedrone, Iannetta and Gorst are always thinking on a global scale. Because businesses can be local or international, Iannetta considers a range of risks when advising a client on how to protect a particular asset. She also provides various risk optimization and risk financing solutions such as large deductible programs, risk pooling strategies and captive insurance companies. “We’re a Canadian company, but when any one of us is setting up an insurance program or alternative risk structure, we account for national and international commercial trade and risk considerations,” Gorst says. “That way, we look to capture domestic and global risk factors.” When many businesses became displaced during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cedrone and his colleagues developed exclusive insurance products in the cyber network security, green energy, iGaming and hospitality sectors. “Many of us are partners at Jones DesLauriers, Navacord, so we are personally, financially and professionally invested in the success of our client’s business,” he explains. Like Cedrone, who started at JDIMI in 2019, Iannetta is a relative newcomer. She joined in 2020 and became a partner just eight months into her tenure. “A lot of companies label themselves as entrepreneurial, but JDIMI truly acts on its words because they give me and my colleagues the organizational leeway to do what is necessary to get the best results for our clients,” Iannetta says. Gorst also cites this sense of freedom as one of the reasons she loves working at JDIMI. She protects the personal liabilities and assets of directors and officers in challenging circumstances and transactions—such as litigation, risk or bankruptcies. During economic downturns, she tackles the personal risks of executives, boards and directors, guiding them on how to make difficult financial decisions—and create insurance programs that fit their budget. “In the end, we’re all focused on mitigating and minimizing risks on an individual or organization-wide level,” Gorst says. Varied paths to insurance While Cedrone, Iannetta and Gorst are close colleagues, each took a slightly different path to a career in insurance. “Unlike many in the industry, I didn’t fall into this field; I’m an insurance nerd, and I love the work. There is no greater reward than delivering a financial result that positively helps drive a client’s business forward,” says Cedrone, who graduated as a chartered insurance professional from the Insurance Institute of Canada in 2005. Meanwhile, Iannetta admits hers was a more traditional track. After graduating from York University with a bachelor’s in pure mathematics in 2000, she took a professor’s advice to consider becoming an actuary. She might’ve hated the process of figuring out the probabilities of someone’s life span, but she did enjoy probabilities for things like analyzing catastrophic risk to the balance sheet of a business. “I never ended up sitting for my actuary exams, which I don’t regret in the slightest,” Iannetta says. “Designing insurance solutions leveraging my mathematical acumen turned out to be the perfect fit for me.” As for Gorst, she’s been thinking about insurance since she was a child. “I grew up with parents who owned a brokerage,” she says. “They insured half the city of Thunder Bay—and I wanted to be part of that and make a lasting, positive impact.” A 1999 graduate of the University of Calgary with a focus on commerce, finance and risk management, she adds that a career in insurance was almost inevitable. Her first job was a specialty western regional manager for Chubb Insurance. While Cedrone, Iannetta and Gorst have all worked for large, publicly traded companies, they’re especially passionate about Jones DesLauriers, Navacord. “We have a great culture,” Cedrone says. “The three of us enjoy each other’s company and we learn quite a bit from one another. I firmly believe that not all insurance brokers are created equal, and at Jones DesLauriers, Navacord, we get the opportunity to demonstrate the difference every day.” View this feature in the Vanguard Spring II 2023 Edition here.

China, 11th Oct 2023: China’s Construction Machinery Industry Faces Challenges in 2022: Despite being a powerhouse in the construction machinery sector, China’s construction machinery industry experienced a 6.5% year-on-year decrease in sales revenue, amounting to approximately 900 billion yuan in 2022. This dip was driven by varying performance across Self Erecting Tower Crane For Sale. Notably, excavating machinery saw a 15.8% decrease in sales revenue, while hoisting machinery recorded a 5.6% increase. Loading machinery, road rollers, and concrete machinery experienced mixed results. Other machinery also faced challenges, declining by 2.7%. Construction Machinery Industry: Stable Recovery Anticipated for China’s Construction Machinery Industry in 2023 As the construction machinery industry in China navigates through challenging times, there is optimism on the horizon for 2023. The industry is expected to witness a stable recovery, driven by increased demand both domestically and abroad and reinforced policy support. Sales revenue for the entire sector is projected to reach 950 billion yuan for the year, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 5.6%.

Insuring coal no moreEnergy and Clean Tech Accelerate global phase-out of coal by persuading insurers to end cover for mines and power plants. Bring insurers still supporting coal under public scrutiny, creating reputational risk of continued involvement in the coal sector. Set a benchmark for insurers to take action, name and shame laggards, and celebrate effective policies to drive momentum. Launched company-specific pressure campaigns and the annual Unfriend Coal Scorecard, ranking insurers on coal policies and highlighting the reputational risks of ongoing support for coal. We have led a high profile campaign in financial and insurance media that has accelerated industry action. In the last year Allianz, Swiss Re, Munich Re, Generali, Mapfre, VIG, Uniqa, and QBE ceased insuring new coal mines and plants or limited cover for coal. Willis Towers Watson, one of the world’s largest brokers, reports that action is driving up the cost of insurance for coal companies and benefiting renewables as insurers seek new business to replace lost coal premiums. “Greenhouse PR helped us to drive greater collaboration by demonstrating the risks to insurers of backing coal. Their input on planning, content and execution was invaluable, and the impact we have collectively achieved has resulted in major insurers committing to exclude coal in the future.”

Travelers Insurance is not owned by Geico, although the two companies do have some business dealings. Geico owns a subsidiary called Geico Insurance Agency, which offers policies from a variety of companies, including Travelers. Customers can purchase homeowners and condo insurance policies for travelers through the Geico insurance agency. Travelers Insurance began to lose money on its car liability lines until 1959, when the company began basing insurance rates on a driver's safety record. After World War I, in May 1919, Travelers introduced a comprehensive aviation insurance program that included life policies, civil liability, workers' compensation and passenger accidents. Geico auto insurance customers can get personalized quotes for other types of insurance through the Geico app. Travelers Insurance is owned by its shareholders because it is publicly traded and does not have a parent company. Two years later, St Paul Investment Management Company was created, and in 1973, St Paul Life Insurance Company was established to market life insurance through independent agents representing St Paul Fire and Marine. In 2003, Travelers purchased the renewal rights for Royal & SunAlliance commercial and personal insurance companies. Citigroup split Travelers Property and Casualty into a subsidiary company in 2002, although it kept the red umbrella logo. The company issued its first regular insurance policy on April 5, 1864, but informally entered into its first insurance contract a month earlier. That year it sold the first accident insurance in the United States and in 1865 it began selling life insurance, thus becoming the first company in the country to offer more than one type of insurance. Budd replaced Beach as president in 1982, at a time when the insurance industry was struggling due to unprecedented health care costs and strong competition among insurers.

Skip to content Dear partners, the following is an open letter from Ukrainian insurers and brokers’ associations. Dear colleagues and partners! Since February 24, 2022, Ukraine has been fighting against the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. You know that the Russian army invaded the territory of Ukraine practically from every direction with only one goal: to prevent the people of Ukraine from realizing their European civilized choice of development. The resistance of the Ukrainian people, the support from almost the whole World will not allow the Russian authorities to accomplish their criminal goals! We are grateful to the World for every military, diplomatic and economic assistance to the people of Ukraine in our struggle for the common values of freedom, peace and democracy. Together, we shall defeat the new fascism! The negative attitude of the world business towards Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is growing. The number of foreign companies which refuse to cooperate with Russian enterprises is growing every day. On behalf of the Insurance Business Association, the League of Insurance Organizations of Ukraine, the Kharkiv Union of Insurers, the National Association of Insurers of Ukraine, the Federation of Insurance Intermediaries of Ukraine – all associations of insurers and insurance brokers in our country – we ask you to take the following measures that will prevent the country-aggressor from continuing the war: Regardless of the sanctions imposed at the state level, do not insure or reinsure any risks of Russian insurance companies, risks originating from the Russian Federation or in relation to the interests of any resident entities of the Russian Federation. Risks from Russian insurers and from the territory of the Russian Federation should be recognized as highly «toxic» ones. Do not invest in Russian insurance companies and do not issue financial guarantees or additional capital to them in any form. Block the funds of Russian insurers and reinsurers, do not make any reinsurance payments, refunds of payments, etc. for the Russian Federation, so as not to provide the country-aggressor with any additional financial resources. Stop activities of the subsidiaries of the Western insurance or brokerage companies, as well as their representative offices in Russia. Disconnect Russian insurers from any information and educational support, conferences, seminars and trainings. Please share this information among all national associations for transfer to their members. Insurance Business Association, General director Vyacheslav Chernyakhovsky League of Insurance Organizations of Ukraine, President Oleksandr Filoniuk Kharkiv Union of Insurers, President Liudmyla Vremenko National Association of Insurers of Ukraine, General director Denis Yastreb Federation of Insurance Intermediaries of Ukraine, General director Serhii Inshakov

Fire Sector Federation ready for action Though originally established in 2010 as the Fire Sector Partnership, the organisation has now agreed a constitution and re-launched, following a merger with the Federation of British Fire Organisations (FOBFO). Bringing together representatives from a range of stakeholders which make up the UK Fire Sector and wider built environment, the FSF acts as a forum for the discussion of fire-related issues and aims to develop policy and produce industry guidance for wider dissemination. At the heart of the FSF are a number of focused workstreams which examine in detail issues considered to be of particular importance to the fire sector. Currently established are workstreams to consider: technical guidance; statistics; technology; workforce development; procurement; international issues; national policy; enforcement; fire investigation; and All Party Parliamentary Fire Safety Group activities. The FSF was originally established in response to the Fire Futures review. This strategic review of fire and rescue provision, launched in July 2010 by the Fire and Rescue Minister Bob Neill MP, was designed to enable sector partners to shape the future direction of fire policy in England. As a result of the review, the Government made it clear that it no longer intended to control and direct the way fire and rescue services and cross-sector functions are managed, and instead expects the fire sector to take a lead in shaping policy. FSF Chairman Brian Robinson explained the intended role for the Federation: The FSF aims to fill the void left by Government. It plans to develop policy by providing a broad spectrum of opinion from the fire sector, releasing views and advice on behalf of the unified sector. It also aims to cut silo mentality in working practices by addressing both the built and natural environment, as well as fire and rescue service issues. Using the knowledge, experience and skills that exist across the sector, the Federation aims to improve communication and cooperation to help drive efficiency, common policy and common standards. Membership is open to any organisation able to demonstrate a legitimate interest in the built, natural, fire and rescue service or national resilience environments.

The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, Horsham, Penn., has announced that it is taking action to help variable life policyholders who are experiencing significant reduction in their policies’ net surrender values as a result of the recent economic downturn. The company is extending the base no-lapse guarantee period on eligible existing policies for the company’s Cornerstone VUL III, Cornerstone VUL IV, Variable Estate Max II and Variable Estate Max III products by an additional two years. With this action, Penn Mutual is providing policyholders with additional protection, helping them to maintain their policies in-force, even if there is no longer any surrender value remaining as a result of the economic downturn. These changes have been made in alignment with the company’s primary responsibility as a mutual company to always act in the best interest of its policyholders. While there will be a minimum premium requirement going forward to continue this extended coverage period, there is no extra charge for this enhancement. “At Penn Mutual our number one priority is serving the needs of our policyholders,” said Robert E. Chappell, chairman, president, and chief executive officer for Penn Mutual. “We’ve assisted policyholders who were impacted by Hurricane Katrina, the Midwest floods and the California wildfires in the recent past, so providing an additional grace period to policyholders through this unprecedented economic environment is the right thing for a mutual company to do. As a mutual company, we will continue to focus on assisting and providing for our clients who depend on us to protect what matters most to them.”

Tough cases can breed loyal allies – and new business. Nothing tests a new agent’s mettle as much as a tough initial placement. It is during these early tests that strong, enduring relationships are built. Just ask Senior Underwriter Andrea Prahl, of the Burns & Wilcox Special Risk Division, which handles unusual and unique risks. Meeting and exceeding a new agent’s expectations, she says, not only may win you a long-term ally, it may also win you additional business. Prahl recently confronted a whopper of a test, even by Texas oil industry standards. The risk came from the Alabama office of a large retail agent, which approached Commercial Underwriter-Broker Jack Yester of the Burns & Wilcox Birmingham, Ala. office. Yester’s agent was seeking coverage for the care, custody, and control of an estimated 300,000 barrels of crude oil as it made its way across the client’s property, from train tank cars into its oil pipeline, then into tanker barges to be shipped to local refineries. “The quantity and high value of the crude, as well as the number of different transportation modes involved, made this a unique risk and one that most markets would not even consider,” says Prahl. “A leak, for example, could create an immediate and large loss. Or something along the journey could contaminate the crude.” Prahl got right on the case. “I approached several London markets that were somewhat resistant,” she says. “But one Lloyd’s broker, Chesterfield, was optimistic that we could get this placed.” Chesterfield Group had recently become part of the Kaufman Group, the parent to Burns & Wilcox. Prahl and her counterpart at Chesterfield were collaborating on a case for the first time, and they were eager to make the placement. “Chesterfield felt it had a market for the coverage and asked a few questions. I provided answers, and quickly had an indication,” she recounts. The policy, which was bound several weeks later, covers up to $14 million of crude in the operation’s custody at any one time. Meanwhile, the operation has grown from the estimated 300,000 barrels to 12 million barrels of crude and perhaps more. And the fledgling relationship between agent and wholesale broker also continues to grow. Yester credits teamwork on the Burns & Wilcox side — especially Prahl’s skill in placing a very com- plicated account — for giving the agent the confidence to bring him other parts of this very large account. Gina Jones of the Burns & Wilcox Environmental Center of Excellence, successfully placed the pollution liability coverage for the operation, while Sheila Hailey and Katie House of the broker’s Dallas, Texas, office, brought in several quotes for the general liability. The large Alabama agent recently brought Yester a submission for the operations’ excess pollution and is now reviewing the quote Yester’s brokerage efforts provided. Test passed — with flying colors. What’s more, Yester says he expects to field more risks from this agent.

Ianika Tzankova, David Rosenberg, and Bill Perry co-authored an article on subrogation for Insurance Day on April 23, 2015. The full length article from Insurance Day can be found here. Read below for more on this topic. U.S. Markets Evolving Subrogation Strategy – Adding to the Bottom Line During periods of weak financial markets insurance companies have discovered that subrogation can be a leading revenue stream. Subrogation entitles the insurer to assume the rights of its insured when it has indemnified the insured; stepping into the insured’s shoes and seeking recovery from the responsible party. Although previously approached with caution by the insurance market, the image of subrogation is now changing, as insurers being to use it as way to add to the bottom line when other revenue streams are waning. In the US, insurance companies have established large and sophisticated subrogation units. And trade groups – such as the National Association of Subrogation Professionals (NASP) – have been created which work together to recognise subrogation recoveries as a distinct industry. This enables information and resources to be shared and provides subrogation professionals and their clients with qualifications and certification. Because of this, the US market is currently leading in subrogation matters, but the situation in Europe is changing. The Dutch insurance industry, for example, was for many years a victim of its “clubby culture” within which there were agreements between the members of the Dutch Association of Insurers (DAI) to not exercise subrogation rights towards each other, either at all or in a category of cases. But subrogation claims are now possible in a wider range of cases. In UK and Australian law, subrogated recoveries have been a feature for many years, and in Australia they are assisted by there being fewer statutory limitations on rights of subrogation. In third Party Funding (TPF), the funder takes over the risk of the litigation and covers all costs related to the exercise of the subrogation rights as a nonrecourse funding facility offered by specialised providers. As the TPF in Europe and the UK grows, it is to be expected that the subrogation claims market in the region will continue to develop, with the UK and Europe soon catching up with the U.S. Ianika Tzankova is general counsel and responsible for the Netherlands office of Bentham Europe; David Rosenberg is a partner and cochair of the insurance coverage practice group at Weber Gallagher; and Bill Perry is a partner at Carter Perry Bailey.

Generali Global Assistance’s Travel Insurance division (“the Company), has received the Gold Award for Travel Insurance Company by consumer product review site Top Ten Reviews. The Gold Award is given to the number one ranked product in the category. Top Ten Reviews is a product review site, which has been in operation for over 14 years. They are one of the most comprehensive sites on the web with tens of thousands of reviews and rankings completed. While they may research dozens of products in a single category, they only show the best picks or, like the name suggests, the top ten. The reviews combine product comparison, expert analysis and industry data. Commenting on today’s news, Chris Carnicelli, CEO of Generali Global Assistance said, “We are very pleased to receive the recognition as the number one travel insurance provider by such a credible consumer review platform. As a company, we strive to not only provide the best possible product to our customers, but to usher in a new era of travel insurance that is dedicated to greater transparency and consumer education. This award is a testament to our dedication in this area and we are excited to progress on both fronts even further in the future.” Top Ten Reviews uses a team of researchers and reviewers to analyze the products. Through their tests, they gather data on features, ease of use, durability and customer support. Using a proprietary weighted system (i.e., a complicated algorithm), the data is then scored, and the rankings laid out, and they award the three top-ranked products with Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards. The site is very serious about their integrity. So much so that they keep their sales team and reviewers in separate buildings – in different states and in different time zones. They state that any “Methods of monetization in no way affect the rankings of products, services or companies we review.

BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips. To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words. To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”. Claims administration firm Global Risks Solutions Inc. launched a major complex loss unit on Thursday with loss adjusting teams based in the United Kingdom and the United States.

On April 28th 2016, Solarelle Insurance opened its doors for business with an inauguration ceremony held at Champa Central Hotel in Male’ City. The dynamic newcomer to the Maldivian insurance landscape is the first insurance provider in the country with 100 per cent Private Maldivian stakeholders. According to the Chairman of Solarelle Bandhu Ibrahim Saleem, the birth of new companies such as Solarelle Insurance is a direct result of the rapid economic growth the Maldives has been experiencing over the years. “Tourism has been expanding 5 to 7 per cent annually, so has been the banking industry,” he said while noting the speedy developments taking place all over the country within various sectors. “Everything multiplies in relation to economic growth and this economic growth leads to supporting services that in turn lead to further growth,” he explained. Solarelle Insurance is the fourth company to be licensed by the Maldives Monetary Authority and according to Saleem, the company aims to provide customers with more options in this rapidly expanding economic setting. “The objective is to provide competition. So that customers can choose, and receive the benefits related to choosing,” Saleem said. Although Solarelle is a relatively new business, it brings along with it an immense sea of knowledge and expertise. Saleem is a veteran businessman with more than 40 years of experience in the business arena. He has also fulfilled top posts at various entities such as the national airport, national transportation company and the national airline. Leading Solarelle alongside Saleem is the company’s Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Ahmed. Ahmed has served various top posts in the government for over 15 years, and most recently he served as the Financial Controller at the Ministry of Finance and Treasury and before that as the Assistant General Manager at the Bank of Maldives. Solarelle Insurance is focused on finding new and innovative ways of reducing risks and losses for both individuals and organizations alike, and is devoted to providing comprehensive solutions that can be customized to suit the diverse needs of individual customers. The company employs a knowledgeable and friendly team that can empathize with client needs and circumstances, especially in handling losses or claims. And the team’s efforts are very much directed towards understanding the culture, social environment and insurance requirements of every individual customer. The company provides a wide range of general insurance policies that include property insurance, motor, marine and aviation insurance, engineering insurance, miscellaneous insurance policies for burglary, money, personal accident, fidelity guarantees and insurance against natural disasters such as sea swells. Among the services provided by Solarelle Insurance, the company’s website highlights its insurance packages relating to Personal Insurance and Business Insurance. The customizable range of Personal Insurance packages are specially designed to offer comprehensive or part insurance coverage for individuals, families and personal assets while the innovative and flexible Business Insurance plans offer cutting edge financial solutions, business guidance and professional advice on risk management, asset protection and employee welfare. Solarelle Insurance is also backed by leading international re-insurers including the world’s 3rd largest re-insurer Hannover Re, and marine transport insurer Lloyd’s of London. “We are very pleased that they have joined us. This allows us to provide assurance to our customers,” Saleem commented. According to Saleem, Solarelle Insurance has been enjoying a great amount of support from various industries and customers since opening for business in April. And according to him, the main challenges faced by the company now is related to education and awareness. “I think the main challenge is educating the general public on insurance, for example public liability insurance. So we are very much focused on educating our customers and raising awareness within the market,” he said. According to Saleem, for Solarelle Insurance, the future holds much expansion, especially in relation to the booming sectors of the country such as the hospitality industry. “I would like to note how this growth comes. It doesn’t happen in a single way. For example 5 to 10 resorts are scheduled to open even in 2017. This means more employment, more transport, more cargo, more imports, more exports, and all this requires insurance. So rather than putting all eggs in one basket, the customer has a choice now,” Saleem said. By Mariyam Athiza Athif - September 11, 2016

Cyber specialist Emergence Insurance is celebrating its fifth year in business with a new image. Emergence has progressed from a start up in 2015 to a fully fledged underwriting agency. CEO and founder Troy Filipcevic says Emergence was launched to write a range of emerging risks but, three years ago, decided to focus on just one risk – cyber – and do it exceptionally well. “Being single minded about cyber has enabled Emergence to grow from a one-man band to a major agency with a network of five offices across the nation in just five years. We’ve progressed into an award-winning agency that’s a leader in its field,” Troy said. The new logo highlights the name Emergence as a strong, stand-alone image; it is no longer emerging above a horizon. The redesigned logo is accompanied by a change in the corporate mindset and a revamped website. “When we began, we just took things step by step; we were entrepreneurs fighting for survival. Cyber insurance was an embryonic market and we had to educate brokers about the need for cyber cover and build trust with our broker network,” Troy said. “Today we’ve proved ourselves, brokers have confidence in our proposition, we’ve stamped our place in the market, and won awards for our products.” But Emergence is not resting on its laurels. “We’re a cyber explorer, we’re going to keep pushing the boundaries. We’ve just released a new policy wording that provides greater cyber protection through broader coverage and higher limits. No other cyber underwriter has had four policy wording upgrades in as many years,” Troy said. Emergence’s brand redevelopment includes fingerprint imagery. “That demonstrates the importance of our team; everyone has their fingerprints on the organisation. “Emergence is no longer just me, it’s the people we have brought in to enhance the business and ensure the company provides solutions for our broker partners and their clients,” Troy said. All Emergence team members are experts in their field. Troy loves that a broker can pick up the phone and talk to anyone at Emergence and get expert advice immediately. “We’re a business that supports businesses, it’s at the heart of what we do.” Emergence must keep evolving because it can’t stand still. “Cyber criminals are constantly inventing new ways to hack and we need to keep exploring new solutions for brokers and their clients,” Troy said. Emergence has developed a set of non-traditional corporate values, one of which is ‘We’re not finished yet’. “We’re on a journey to provide long-term support with sustainable insurance in good times and bad for brokers and their clients,” Troy said. “We’re ready to move forward and keep pushing beyond the boundaries to be the best we can.” Emergence’s broker education program will remain a primary focus. The webinars, launched two years ago, will be complemented with new initiatives, including innovative developments launched over the next six months. Emergence’s upgraded online portal enables brokers to bind risks for businesses with up to $75 million turnover and offer policy limits up to $10 million and $250,000 limits for social engineering. Higher turnover businesses and limits are reviewed by Emergence underwriters. Emergence is a pioneer of cyber cover in Australia and provides protection for SMEs through to ASX-listed entities. Emergence was judged the 2019 Insurance Business magazine Underwriting Agency of the Year and a finalist in the same category at the 2019 ANZIIF-Asia Insurance Review awards.

UK Club has reported that for policy year 2022/23 its GWP exceeded $500m for the first time, a result of the Club expanding its fixed premium P&I business. It recorded a combined ratio of 104%, down from the 115% booked the previous year. Mutual owned tonnage increased at renewal in February 2023 to 153m GT. However, the Club said that rising interest rates and global inflation had impacted the Club’s investment portfolio, mostly comprised of fixed income assets. The value of the portfolio fell by 3.8% in 2022/23. Free reserves were $430m. Review of Open Policy Years At their meeting in May 2023, the Directors closed the 2020 policy year. The deficit was transferred to the reserves. The 2021 policy year deteriorated due to adverse movements, predominantly on large claims shared through the International Group Pool. The year is expected to close with a deficit. No supplementary premium is expected for the year. For 2022 policy year, after 12 months, there had been few claims falling into the IG Pooling mechanism. Consequently, the cost of notified claims for the 2022 policy year was unusually low. The Club’s own large-claims experience had been broadly in line with expectations. No supplementary premium is expected for this year. Source: Insurance Marine News 1st June 2023

MTIBU has been regulating the insurance market for a long time and this time warned all insurance companies, agents and aggregators about the impossibility of providing discounts for customers when purchasing an international Green Card insurance policy. The ban will come into force on 01/01/2023 and failure to comply with this requirement leads to unpleasant fines from the MTIBU. Are the conditions the same for all insurers? The green card has the same conditions for its owner, regardless of the insurance company. Absolutely any insurance has the same insurance limits, cost and coverage by country. Only thanks to the discount, the consumer could get a more interesting price. Why removed the ability to provide discounts on insurance? In fact, insurance companies have never directly been able to provide a price different from the declared MTIBU. All insurance companies must receive payment for the full amount of the cost of insurance. For this reason, the popularity of insurance aggregators, which sold insurance at good prices, has greatly increased in Ukraine. And there are several points that influenced the ban on discounts: It is very difficult for insurance companies to compete with their own partners due to the higher price for the same service. Many agents and aggregators, in order to conquer the market, provided a larger discount than was allowed. This led to a massive reduction in the prices of all competitors. People are so used to the fact that a discount on insurance is “as it should be”, that they began to abuse it when contacting insurance companies and MTIBU with questions: “Why can they provide a discount there, but you can’t?” Different prices for the same service confused customers, because it is difficult to imagine insurance with the same conditions at a radically different price. As a result, people could not determine why they should overpay directly to the insurance company if they could buy cheaper. What awaits the Green Card insurance market in 2023? Of course, aggregators will look for other ways to win customers, such as bonuses, cashbacks to a personal account for buying other insurance products, and other methods. But in any case, if the MTIBU checks and fines those who do not adhere to the rules, then soon we will receive an approximately equal pricing policy for everyone who provides a Green Card to a consumer. And the following parameters will influence the choice of insurance: Indicators of insurance companies from the official source of MTIBU in terms of payment speed, reliability, etc. The quality and credibility of an insurance aggregator, agent or the insurance company itself Ease of checkout and payment Customer focus, speed of response and reviews of the insurer Why choose KIRINS when applying for a Green Card? We have been on the Ukrainian market for quite a long time and during this time we managed to win a large number of satisfied customers. This became possible thanks to the professionalism of our managers, the speed of answers to customer questions, the convenience of processing, paying and returning insurance policies. Since the beginning of the war, we have provided one of the best prices for the Green Card to Ukrainians, as we understood the importance of every hryvnia saved. We are grateful to everyone who made a contribution to our project and entrusted the most important thing - the safety of personal money and nerves in such a difficult time.

Climate change is set to transform businesses, requiring early engagement with insurers to understand the risks and develop innovative solutions, according to Kayne Sheppard, casualty underwriter, Zurich Global Energy. Businesses face a sustained period of change as decarbonisation transforms business models and supply chains during the coming decade. This trend is forcing a growing number of companies to rethink their strategies and adopt new technologies and ways of working, which the pandemic has exacerbated. However, as business transformation programmes are set in motion, companies will need to proactively consider the implications for both risk and insurance, and thus understand the strategic relevance of a solid insurance partner. Risk managers play a critical role Risk managers can clearly play an important role in helping boards execute large-scale business transformation. The prominence of risk managers varies greatly by organisation, but risk managers have a key role in helping their businesses understand the risks and opportunities inherent in business transformation, and in beginning discussions on risk mitigation and transfer solutions. In a changing risk landscape, businesses need to understand their future risks and opportunities, and adapt their insurance cover accordingly. Substantive business transformation – especially that brought about by climate change – will almost certainly lead to changes in exposure, creating new assets to protect and liabilities to guard against. Changes to business models and supply chains will also impact business interruption exposures, creating new dependencies and affecting revenue and profit streams. Take climate change. The shift away from fossil fuels will involve the adoption of new sources of power, the creation of new supply chains, methods of manufacturing, the application of new technologies and materials, as well as the need to mitigate the physical effects of more extreme weather events. In a bid to lower carbon emissions, companies are already looking to use alternative energy sources, installing wind turbines onsite and solar panels on buildings, and investing in battery storage capacity. However, such moves may bring fire, windstorm or third-party liability exposures that will change risks and have implications for insurance programmes. Insurance as a facilitator for change Though it is often overlooked, insurance has an important role to play in business transformation. It can facilitate innovation, de-risking the adoption of new technologies and business models, as well as helping to attract financing and investment. Insurance is not only about risk transfer. For instance, launched in 2021, Zurich Resilience Solutions helps companies to manage risk more effectively and improve their risk profile, in particular in the areas of climate change, supply chain and cyber risk management. We have been working with customers across different sectors to understand the effect of climate change on their assets, as well as the potential implications of new technologies, such as clean energy. Insurers can increasingly offer advice, expertise and access to data and modelling tools to identify and assess risks, as well as risk management and loss-prevention services. The insurance industry can facilitate the exchange of knowledge by sharing the experience of working across sectors and geographies. For example, we have been engaging with customers in the energy sector as they transform their businesses and transition to net zero. The learnings from this engagement will be invaluable in helping us understand the transition to net zero in other sectors that follow. Engage with underwriters early The earlier that insurers are engaged in business transformation conversations, the better. Lenders and investors will take comfort from the backing and support of credible insurers, however insurance takes time to arrange and underwriters will need to understand the risks and get comfortable with risk management controls put in place. Some risks may also require innovative solutions, which take time and collaboration to develop. Switching to new sources of energy, like green hydrogen for example, or adopting prototype technologies, will have implications for risk and insurance. Underwriters will need to work with customers to understand how new technologies will affect exposure and adapt their offering to meet future needs. Risk professionals need to be proactive and take the lead. Whether adopting new technology or radically transforming a business model, it is important to start the conversation with insurers at an early stage, as this will avoid delays or surprises when it comes to arranging cover and financing. No one wants a lack of insurance to inhibit a transaction or business transformation. Proactive conversations will become the norm As climate change adaptation gathers momentum, business transformation is sure to rise up the agenda. Risk managers and insurance buyers need to start thinking about the implications of business transformation on their organisation’s future risk profile and engage with insurers on solutions to mitigate or transfer the risks, which could include non-traditional solutions like parametric insurance. We are beginning to have these conversations with some of our customers, where climate change is already transforming their businesses. We want to maintain a dialogue with customers to understand their changing risks and insurance needs, bringing underwriting, risk engineering and claims experts to the table. Last year, I spent three very rewarding months on secondment, working with a global energy company going through a business model transformation, to understand the risks and opportunities of developing new green technologies, such as carbon capture and storage, and working through the insurance implications. While secondments are currently the exception, and not the rule, closer collaboration between insurers and their corporate customers will need to become the norm as more and more companies undergo transformation towards more sustainable business models in the coming years. Many companies are making decisions and investments today that will have important implications for their future risks and insurance needs. To fully benefit from megatrends such as decarbonisation and allow for business transformations to be a success, continuous engagement with insurance partners is essential to understand how risks are changing and to ensure that future products and services are fit for purpose. The earlier this dialogue begins, the better, and the earlier companies can leverage the opportunities that these megatrends create.

BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips. To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words. To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”. A COVID-19-related business interruption lawsuit filed against a Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. unit should not be dismissed because the insurer’s policy provides coverage for physical loss or damage caused by microorganisms, including viruses, says a children’s clothing retailer, in arguing against Zurich’s motion to dismiss the case. New York-based America’s Kids LLC, which operates 18 children’s clothing stores, filed suit against Zurich in June seeking business interruption coverage stemming from the forced closure of its stores because of the pandemic. It sought coverage from Zurich Insurance Group unit Zurich American Insurance under its $12,750,000 all-risk insurance policy, which included specific business interruption coverages, according to the motion filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Chicago in America’s Kids, LLC v. Zurich American Insurance Co. “In Zurich’s telling, this case is comparable to a mélange of others involving policies with standard-form virus exclusions not contained in Zurich’s policy,” the motion says. “But even a cursory review of the policy and the complaint’s specific allegations show that this case is different” because unlike those cited by Zurich, the coverage specifically refers to “microorganisms,” including viruses as a cause of “direct physical loss or damage property,” the motion states. Zurich “attempts to simplify the case by invoking a ‘microorganism’ exclusion found on a separate coverage form,” but “entirely ignores at least two other policy provisions that provide coverage specifically for microorganisms,” the brief states. “These specific grants of microorganism coverage pose a serious problem for Zurich’s position that the ‘microorganism’ exclusion ‘unambiguously excludes coverage for the precise situation pleaded here,’” the motion states, in arguing for coverage. A Zurich spokeswoman had no comment. A North Carolina state court judge has ruled in favor of a group of restaurants in pandemic-related business interruption litigation, holding the state’s order to close the restaurants was a covered physical loss under their policies.

Van Nguyen, IT Manager at Tokio Marine Vietnam, explains: “We are growing our presence in Vietnam, but we operate in a challenging, competitive insurance market. To continue our successful expansion, we strive to provide the highest standards of service, including clear, prompt client communications. And internally, we focus on developing efficient workflows that enable us to process increasing numbers of client requests seamlessly.” Preparing large volumes of policy documents Among the most important client communications provided by Tokio Marine Insurance Vietnam are policy documents that contain the details and terms and conditions of the insurance cover. Whenever new or existing clients request a product, the company prepares and dispatches the policy documents for client review and approval. “On most weeks, we create around 650 documents, which we send either via email or through the mail, as some companies in Vietnam request a paper copy to sign off,” continues Van Nguyen. “In many cases, collating the information for policy documents forms a difficult task, as some commercial insurance products are highly complex.” Moving beyond traditional manual processes To design, edit, and personalize policy documents, Tokio Marine Insurance Vietnam previously relied heavily on manual processes. However, this approach consumed many working hours, increased production costs, and heightened the risk of clients having to wait long periods before receiving documents. “We decided to look for a new way of working, and targeted a smarter, more scalable model better suited to preparing high volumes of policy documents quickly and cost-efficiently,” adds Van Nguyen. “Our first goal was to find a solution that would streamline and accelerate our document workflows.” Implementing a leading-edge solution To modernize its client communications strategy, Tokio Marine Insurance Vietnam selected OpenText™ Exstream™—a solution purpose-built for creating personalized content. The company worked with OpenText business partner delaware Singapore to implement the solution, including integration with its core insurance system and customer database, before later upgrading to the latest version of the platform to access enhanced content design and authoring tools. Within Tokio Marine Insurance Vietnam, three IT team-members use OpenText Exstream to design document templates, adding corporate styling. Then, 65 front-end users retrieve information from the customer database and update the templates with unique policy terms before the dispatch of the final documents, either as PDFs or paper copies. Van Nguyen comments: “Since the initial deployment, OpenText Exstream has proved hugely valuable for us. Our front-end users find the design tools and intuitive interface of OpenText Exstream especially useful, enabling them to author and edit content with ease, and quickly apply updates to policy schedules and terms and conditions.” Accelerating critical document workflows With the latest version of OpenText Exstream, Tokio Marine Insurance Vietnam has transformed the speed and efficiency of its policy document preparation processes. The company has replaced slow, cumbersome manual workflows with leading-edge, agile digital tools, enabling users to process growing volumes of client requests seamlessly.
