The broker’s commandment: know thy client’s risk!
22 March 2022
Non-life insurers that respond to new risks by simply adding exclusions or other restrictions to their policy wordings face the very real risk of becoming irrelevant. This frank assessment of the state-of-play in the post-pandemic insurance market was offered by Frans Prinsloo, Head of Lombard Mobillity, during a panel discussion at the recent Insure Talk 19 event. “A lot of insurers are becoming purely balance sheet providers, and not looking for new solutions for their customers,” he said. This trend will likely accelerate as insurers cotton on that what used to be one-in-200-year risk events are set to occur more frequently.
