As the frequency and severity of natural catastrophe losses continues to rise, insurers are turning their focus beyond underwriting perils to mitigating losses before they happen.

Insured natural catastrophe losses were USD 108 billion in 2023, the fourth year in a row of insured losses north of USD 100 billion and a continuation of the 5–7% annual growth trend since 1994, Swiss Re said. Swiss Re Institute estimates that insured losses could double within the next 10 years as temperatures rise and extreme weather events become more frequent and intense.

To stem the rising tide of claims, insurers are working with clients before catastrophes strike to improve their resilience, using tools including: smart technology, such as telematics and IoT Integration to detect, respond and link properties to emergency services in real time; offering concrete advice to insureds to reduce their risks; employing their own emergency response crews to solidify potential targets before an event strikes.

Join insurance insider, in partnership with Guidewire, for a free webinar, 11:30 ET/16:30 GMT Jan. 29 to learn more about how insurers are taking a more active role in preventing losses.

Discussion questions include:

--Overview of how insurers are fighting to reduce loss costs

Insurers Evolving to Risk Mitigation to Reduce Costs

Insurers face increasing regulatory and public pressure to manage climate-related risks through both their underwriting and asset management. Climate change risk goes hand in hand with a less-discussed crisis: the dramatic loss of nature in our lifetimes, including the worldwide reduction in wetlands, forests, and the biodiversity of plants, insects and animals.

Humanity has already wiped out 83% of wild mammals and half of all plants and severely altered three-quarters of ice-free land and two-thirds of marine environments, according to the World Economic Forum. The forum’s research shows that $44 trillion of economic value generation – over half the world’s total GDP – is moderately or highly dependent on nature.

Insurers, who invest trillions of dollars annually, are seeking to allocate their invested assets in ways that can support sustainability, the energy transition, and even nature itself through natural capital.

Natural capital includes real asset investments such as forests and farms, where insurers seek to protect the land from development while benefitting from the products produced on the land. Often the investments yield multiple sustainability benefits, including producing environmentally friendly products or clean energy.

Join Insurance Insider a free webinar, in partnership with Manulife Investment Management, 10:30 ET/3:30 GMT on Jan 22, as we explore the opportunities and challenges in investing in natural capital.

Discussion questions include:
--Overview: What is natural capital and what is driving investments in it

How Insurers Are Harnessing Gen AI to Improve Risk Selection

In an ever-evolving and complex insurance environment, claims professionals are facing increasing challenges in providing the service their customers rely on. The recent CrowdStrike outage is an example of a complex, global event requiring expert response, as well as potentially impacting multiple classes of business, beyond the immediate cyber market.

Insurers are also facing greater pressure to build and maintain a strong claims culture, combining technical expertise with a customer-focused approach. In addition, the claims service also plays a key role in identifying and reporting emerging trends, so risks are understood and priced adequately.

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Markel, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/3:30 BT, Nov. 26, as we explore the many challenges and opportunities companies face in building the claims professionals of the future.

Discussion questions and talking points include:

Fostering The Claims Professional of the Future

A new era of industrialisation is fuelling construction in Europe and North America. Data centres and electric vehicles are driving demand for high-tech industrial sites, while companies looking to increase supply chain resilience are relocating their production sites around the world.

Insurers are well placed to enable this surge, however, there are risks along with the opportunities.

Many of these are megaprojects - with price tags of USD 1bn or more - bringing an altogether different risk profile. A semiconductor fabrication facility could cost an estimated $10-$20 billion. In addition to the size and the scope of these projects, insurers face the challenge of working with innovative technology where risk management experience might be lacking. That's before you consider new infrastructure to connect sites, or the energy to power them.

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Swiss Re, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/3:30 BT, Nov. 21, as we explore the risks and opportunities in insuring this new wave of industrialisation.

Discussion questions include:

- The industrialisation trend and project insurance needs
- The megaproject factor driving risk profiles
- Lessons learned from other markets - the complexity of insurance contract language in potentially new jurisdictions
- How to best manage a multi-year policy with complex interconnected insureds
- What claims infrastructure should be in place

The New Era of Industrialization: Insurers Prepare for a Surge in Giant Construction Projects

Commercial auto insurers have posted an underwriting loss for 12 of the last 13 years. According to S&P Market Intelligence, despite the physical damage line of business improving to profitability with a sub-100 combined ratio, that was outweighed by the commercial auto liability side, whose poor performance dragged the aggregated commercial auto business to a 109.2% combined ratio in 2023.

Unsafe at Any Speed? Putting the Brakes on Commercial Auto Losses

With more than 64 countries, about 49% of the global population, casting votes this year, political changes could potentially have a dramatic impact on the macroeconomic environment and insurance regulation and taxes. In the U.S., the world’s largest insurance market, all eyes are on the presidential election, plus four states are holding elections for insurance commissioners in November. Of the 37 US states where insurance commissioners are appointed by the governor, seven states are holding gubernatorial elections, which could result in a change of leadership.

Should We Brace for Impact? How Elections Could Affect the Insurance Industry

As the race to net zero continues, more communities are transitioning from traditional fossil-fuel based technologies to renewable energy sources. This increased demand for renewable energy is driving new, often difficult-to-insure projects; from a solar farm in a hail-prone region to a wind farm that’s potentially in the path of a hurricane.

These renewable energy projects are encountering various challenges, including multiple natural hazards like hail, wind, flood, and wildfire. Additionally, they are facing delays and increased costs due to supply chain disruptions and outdated technology, with some delays stretching up to two years.

The Price Is Right? How Insurers Can Better Harness Data/Analytics

Insurers are well versed in managing natural catastrophe risk, but are they ready to manage a cyber catastrophe? As the world continues to become more digitally connected, the risk of a cyber catastrophe event is increasing. Unlike most natural catastrophes, a cyber attack has the potential to spread beyond a specific location and may also grow over time.

A scenario such as a 1 in 250-year Wiperware attack (a malware-based attack designed to permanently delete or corrupt data on targeted systems) impacting the U.S. would see losses exceeding US$14 billion, surpassing the current global cyber insurance premium, according to Moody’s Insurance Solutions Insured Exposure Database. How are insurers preparing to manage such an event?

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with the Insurance Solutions team at Moody’s, for a free webinar, 10:30 EDT/3:30 BST, July 11, as we explore what insurers should be doing to prepare for a cyber catastrophe.

Discussion questions include:
--Possible scenarios: What could a cyber catastrophe look like?
--How are cyber models evolving?
--How to accelerate growth in the cyber insurance market?
--What role can cyber ILS play?
--How to manage challenges, including potential capacity constraints with incident response?
--Would a cyber catastrophe threaten the solvency of the cyber insurance market?
--How would the cyber war exclusion impact the market?

Cyber Catastrophe: Are You Prepared?

The use of Catastrophe Models has become commonplace for assessing portfolio risk, but their use at the point of underwriting has remained a challenge in residential and commercial lines. In this segment, there is a fine balancing act between use of robust analytics and the need to provide near instant quotes to customers. With property insurers facing increasing pressure from the growing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes, some insurers have stopped writing new business altogether while others have seen an opportunity to grow and expand, even in challenging territories.

Data can help underwriters to better select and price risks. The most advanced organizations are embedding cat-model losses at the front of the process, refining location decisions based upon a property’s risk characteristics and introducing consistency across the insurance value chain. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Moody’s RMS, for a free webinar 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on June 27, as we take a deep dive into how Location Intelligence is improving underwriting even in catastrophe-prone areas.

Where Insurers Fear to Write: Using Data to Better Manage Cat-Risk in Real-Time

Artificial intelligence is poised to change every major industry, but not every change will be positive.

Professional liability insurers, who write Directors & Officers, Errors & Omissions, and Employment Practices Liability Insurance, are bracing for the next generation of insurance claims from when AI goes wrong, such as when AI-generated work fails to perform as expected.
For example, consider a company relying on AI to help hire new employees, only to find out the model is discriminatory. Or consider engineers and architects whose AI-influenced plans fall short of expectations, resulting in legal claims.

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Markel, for a free webinar 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on June 26 as we explore the possible implications of AI in professional liability.
Discussion questions
--Overview of AI-related claims to date
--Overview of potential claims facing professional liability insurers

June 1 Reinsurance Renewals: Earth, Wind and Fire

Climate change has the potential to reshape the property insurance market. States and regions that have not been typically viewed as natural catastrophe prone are now facing additional perils, from the increase in floods in Iowa to wildfires in Colorado. This shift is impacting both “acute” risks, such as flood, hurricanes, and wildfires, and “chronic” risks, like rising sea levels, drought and water stress, and periods of extreme heat and cold. 

Winners in the insurance industry in the next five to 10 years will be those who are better able to harness climate data to better understand shifting risks. They’ll have the potential to be nimbler and more targeted in their underwriting and risk selection. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with S&P Global Market Intelligence, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/3:30 BST on May 29  as we explore how the insurance industry can better use climate data to manage their property portfolios.

Harnessing Climate Data to Sharpen Risk Selection and Underwriting

Insurers and brokers are facing increasing regulatory pressure when reaching out to consumers. From robocalls or texts to solicit customers to showing favoritism by recommending specific car repair services, brokers and insurers must carefully follow regulatory requirements or face potential consequences, including fines and class-action lawsuits. 
 
Regulatory scrutiny is growing. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission issued a record $300 million fine against a company that specialized in auto warranty calls. More than 1,500 lawsuits were filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 2023, which allow consumers to sue for robocalls, or robotexts, with fines between $500 and $1,500 per call or text.
 
Some insurers and brokers are harnessing technology to ensure their call centers are making compliant calls, and to help guide sales and claims agents to have more productive calls.
 
Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Gryphon.ai, for a free webinar, 11:00 ET, 16:00 BST on May 22, as we explore how technology can help brokers and insurers meet their compliance needs while improving efficiency. 
 
Discussion questions include:
--Overview of current regulatory environment
--What is driving record fines and the growth of class-action lawsuits?
--What are the potential pitfalls that brokers and insurers face when contacting consumers?
--How technology can help prevent illegal calls
--How AI can help guide agents’ conversations
--How managers can gain efficiency and ensure quality control through AI innovation 
--How AI-powered technology can give sales and claims agents more time to focus on their cases 
--What to consider when turning to AI and technology to improve consumer communication

Navigating the Uncharted: Insurance in the Metaverse

Excess & Surplus lines for homeowners was once viewed primarily as providing coverage for homes in risky coastal areas, where hurricanes are a major peril. That perception is shifting, as more homeowners inland are tapping the E&S market for cover.
The admitted market has struggled in recent years, facing increased natural catastrophe losses and an uptick in home values. While there are admitted carriers focused on high net worth homes, there is a gap between the traditional admitted market and where the high net worth specialists play. 
E&S writers are seeing increased demand for homeowners insurance, both for houses away from the coast and for coastal properties looking for coverage excluding wind, which is often written by the states’ insurer of last resort. 
Join us, in partnership with Markel, for a free webinar 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on April 18 as we explore the challenges and opportunities facing the E&S homeowners market.
Discussion questions:
--Overview of the homeowners insurance market in the U.S. and what is driving growth in the E&S space
--Why E&S homeowner insurance underwriters are diversifying their portfolios away from coastal risks
--How insurers are handling perils including severe convective storms, winter storms, water damage, wildfire
--Opportunities and challenges from underwriting outside of coastal properties
--How underwriters can use rate and forms to underwrite those opportunities successfully
--Underwriting tools including bi-peril rating, insurance scoring, 3rd party data 
--How technology can continue to improve underwriting inland and help insurers to manage aggregate exposures.
