Coverage of the Cover Holders and Risk Takers-Exchange Conferences
Jonathan Mudd, divisional director, Brit Global Specialty, said Lloyd's is attempting to consolidate audits to lessen the burden on coverholders working with multiple syndicates.
Scott Addis, CEO, Beyond Insurance, said agents and brokers must move beyond bidding for business and focus on consulting with insureds and diagnosing their risk needs.
Sheila Shaw, senior vice president, Irwin Siegel Agency, said medical clinics, behavioral health and a host of other services are hard to place in standard markets, which means looking further afield for coverage.
Calvin Foster, managing director, NewCastle Risk Management Consulting, said larger brokerages must continue to pursue acquisitions or experience a growth slowdown, which would risk disappointing shareholders.
Brokers and underwriters at the CHART-Exchange conference in Baltimore court one another with the goal of placing coverages--including some that traditionally have remained within North American markets--with the London Market.
