Underwrite the Underwriter – Placing Hard Market Professional Indemnity Policies

Hard insurance markets are precisely that – they are HARD. There are of course many valid reasons that can impact and exasperate hard market conditions. Adverse loss activity; poor underwriting discipline and claims reserving practices; a departure of capital from the market; legislative changes and more. Nonetheless, be it for contractually mandated reasons or simply a desire to protect a business from risk; insurance buyers still need to procure insurance.

While trying market conditions do present many challenges, they also present an opportunity to reshape your approach to broking hard market business.

Aquarium Risk Consulting help facilitate this approach by supporting the Broker in telling a clients insurance ‘story’ in a comprehensive and targeted fashion. Their bespoke insurance buyer profiling hones in on each of the pertinent issues surrounding challenging insurance placements. This culminates in an underwriting package that is tailored to suit any given transaction. Aquarium help align all parties (buyer – broker – insurer) with a view to achieving a superior insurance outcome.
