Special Episode: State of the Market Roundtable with Greg Hendrick, Marc Adee and Andrew Robinson

Today’s special episode does exactly what it says on the tin -
plus a little more. AdvantageGo organised a prestigious panel of
three prominent US-focused P&C CEOs and I got to work with
them on dissecting the state of the market. Marc Adee, CEO of
Crum & Forster, Andrew Robinson CEO of Skyward Specialty and
Greg Hendrick the CEO of Vantage Group were all on excellent form
as we examined rate adequacy, the prospect for loss trends and
whether underwriters might keep ahead of them, resurgent economic
and social inflation, the re-rating of cyber insurance and the
ever-developing view of the industry Covid loss. We also rounded
up the mid-year renewals, talked about the largely benign impact
of reinsurance on the current market, and took a view on the
sky-high valuations of public Insurtech stocks and the future of
innovation and the industry’s developing relationship with
technology. Many thanks again to AdvantageGo for organising this
one – all I had to do was show up and ask the questions!


Enjoy the podcast.


NOTES


Greg Hendrick couldn't remember who said the famous quote about
the market being able to stay irrational longer that you can stay
solvent. This one is from the British economist John Maynard
Keynes.
