"We need to launch this product in 3.5 months." Every insurer faces this pressure. But when Excel-based actuarial models typically take 6-12 months just to recode for production, how do you square that circle?

Casey Kempton, President of Personal Lines for Nationwide is great at summarising one of the biggest issues facing the personal lines space. Ultimately, we've all been guilty of this mindset at one point or another, but now risk/loss ratios are evolving at an increasingly fast rate from both better diagnostics and increased risks, we need more plain speaking leaders to put this in perspective. #insurance #personallines #risk #data

💡 New #KoruKorner Blog Post: AM Best recently shifted its outlook on the global reinsurance market to positive for the first time in history, reflecting improved market conditions and potential profitability. The last significant change was in 2018 when the outlook was upgraded to stable, with no record of a previous positive outlook. This notable change, coinciding with AM Best's 125th anniversary, highlights the enhanced return potential driven by higher pricing and stricter coverage terms in the reinsurance sector, benefiting both traditional reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) markets.
