| Injury Prevention/Pre-Loss Controls Webinar Sponsored by Zurich
|
09/29/2011

| The traditional way of thinking about controlling workers' compensation costs has emphasized a reactive approach to managing claims at the time of loss and thereafter. While this post loss approach is important and should be included as a part of an organization's overall workers' compensation risk management program, in recent years the trend has shifted to focusing on injury prevention and pre-loss control methods as a proactive approach to reducing injuries, cutting costs and positively impacting an organization's bottom line. This free webinar, sponsored by Zurich on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 11:00 AM EDT, will provide you with actionable information to lower your workers' compensation costs.

| Are Merger Objection Suits a Threat to D&O Insurers?
|
02/02/2011
|
| Merger objection suits are lawsuits filed by disgruntled shareholders of a company that has been, or is about to be, acquired. The number of lawsuits filed skyrocketed in recent years, even as the number of mergers and acquisitions plummeted during the Great Recession. Thus far these suits have not posed a significant challenge to D&O insurers, but the sheer volume of suits, plus the fact that a single M&A transaction can trigger suits in multiple jurisdictions, suggest they increasingly will have an impact on primary and first excess D&O underwriting and pricing.

| The Hard Market is Only $74 Billion Away
|
02/01/2011
|
| The property & casualty market is roughly $74 billion overcapitalized, substantially an outcome of surging supply (policyholders' surplus) as equity markets rebounded in 2009 and 2010, coupled with diminished demand for insurance capacity brought on by the Great Recession. One unprecedented mega-catastrophe, or several very large catastrophes in close succession, could destroy the excess capacity and trigger a turn in the market, but the more likely scenario is slow, painful hemorrhaging of capital as deeply eroded rate levels take their toll.

| ERM Potential to Increase Insurance Company Value
|
06/28/2010
|
| "Insurance companies are using analytics to break strategic stalemates that prevent them from creating value," says Jean-Pierre Berliet, author of a new 24 page briefing on Risk Management and Business Strategy. Amid changes in technology, distribution systems, and customer expectations that create new risks, insurance companies are dealing with these challenges by establishing an Enterprise Risk Management framework or enhancing existing ERM processes. However, many insurance companies do not reap the full benefits of incorporating ERM within their business strategies. Jean-Pierre Berliet's briefing titled "Risk Management and Business Strategy in P/C Insurance Companies" is the latest White Paper available for purchase at Advisen's Corner Store.

| The Insurance Market in 2010, Sponsored by FM Global
|
03/31/2010
|
| The recession may be over, but recovery is not happening quickly enough for insurers and brokers. From unemployment rates hovering at about 10 percent to still rising business bankruptcies, the lingering effects of the recession continue to whittle away at commercial lines insurance revenue. Capacity for insurance is abundant in most lines, but demand for that capacity has been diminished by the ravages of the recession. Decreased demand as a result of the damaged economy will keep rates from rising in 2010.

| Why should European companies purchase D&O?
|
11/30/2009
|
| The number of shareholder suits filed in European courts is substantially up, according to Advisen's latest 20 page briefing on European D&O. With changing European laws requiring new disclosures, enhanced shareholder protections, and greater transparency, the trend leads to a "more collective-friendly civil legal system." The bottom line is that directors of European companies are more likely than ever to be sued by disgruntled shareholders, and D&O insurance is one of the fastest growing insurance products in Europe.

| Information and the Battle for the Middle Market
|
10/22/2009
|
| Top sales and account management talent is essential for brokerage firms in the highly-competitive middle market, but even the most talented people are at a disadvantage without thorough and timely information about clients and prospects, according to a new report, "The Battle for the Middle Market: The Role of Information in Creating a Sustainable Competitive Advantage," from Advisen Ltd.

| Lower Premiums will Plague Insurers but Please Buyers Next Year
|
10/19/2009
|
| Economists have declared the Great Recession over, but its lingering effects will continue to chip away at commercial property & casualty premiums through 2010. According to a new Advisen Ltd. briefing, the damaged economy will keep rates from rising while at the same time sales, payroll and other measures of exposure used to calculate premiums may fall further. The cumulative effect will be another year of lower written premiums - a boon for insurance buyers, but a painful and potentially damaging situation for some insurers and, especially, brokers.

| Insurance Brokerage Market Continues to Consolidate
|
10/12/2009
|
| Due in part to pressure from former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, the largest brokers have shifted their acquisition strategy from vertical integration - owning the supply chain - to achieving greater breadth and depth across more market segments, focusing on both niche opportunities and the vast middle market. This strategy pits the mega-brokers against mid-tier firms that have been very successful with the middle market.

Advisen's analytical toolkit has expanded with a new D&O Severity Model (Beta) that identifies the potential size of a D&O settlement.

Each of these inputs can be changed or overridden by the user. The model is based on an extensive regression analysis on Advisen's proprietary MSCAd Large Loss database and company characteristic database.

| For What Services Should You Pay Your Broker?
|
07/02/2009

| Is your Broker worth what you are paying? Is your Broker paid by fee or commission?

This year's 2009 RIMS Benchmark Survey contains our annual study of Broker services and fees. Based on responses from 1,241 Buyers of Insurance, the study found that Brokers increasingly compete on the basis of services provided to clients, but there are significant differences by company size and industry group in the types of services provided.

| Securities Litigation: The Competition for Real Estate
|
05/10/2009
|
| If you missed Advisen's webinar last Friday reviewing the First Quarter 2009 securities cases, you missed Kevin LaCroix's insights on the plaintiff bar's motivation for filing multiple lawsuits on separate securities issued by the same company. Kevin likened this trend to "competition for real estate" by smaller firms trying to capture their own class and reap the gains. According to Kevin, this tactic may allow them to avoid the Coughlin Stoia and Bernstein Litowitz firms by exploring new angles on litigation.

| Advisen Ltd., the leading provider of benchmarking services to commercial insurance buyers, and Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., an international insurance brokerage and risk management services firm, today jointly announced material enhancements to the Gallagher Directors & Officers Insurance Limit Analysis model integrated into Advisen. The D&O limits model is based on Gallagher's proprietary models and algorithms and calculates D&O exposures based on a client's specific ownership structure, industry, trading patterns and other unique characteristics. The easy-to-use online analysis tool is based on sophisticated statistical techniques applied to a database of large D&O claims from the past 12 years and estimates the likely amount of D&O insurance coverage required to cover most D&O claims.

| SCAS Risk Evaluation Models for Financial Institutions
|
04/13/2009
|
| Underwriting or Broking D&O for FI? The year 2008 was a challenging one for underwriters of publicly-traded Financial Institutions (FI). Many high (and low) profile FIs were subject to Securities Class Action Suits (SCAS). Advisen's Value-Investing Risk Tools (VRT) help claims dodgers, but we wanted to see how well VRT and its companion, Advisen's Total Accrual metric (ATACm) would have helped dodge 2008 FI claims. Users of these tools for FI's in 2008 were able to dodge a majority of the SCAS affecting these companies.

| The Impact of the Economic Crisis on the P&C Insurance Industry
|
04/02/2009

| Commercial insurance follows a boom-and-bust pricing cycle that, conventional wisdom proclaims, is largely uncorrelated with broader economic cycles. But the current recession is different. The severity of the economic crisis will adversely impact both the top lines and bottom lines of commercial insurers, making for a turbulent 2009.
