State of the Market: New Approaches to Property Insurance
Hurricanes, wildfires, and secondary perils all took a tremendous toll in 2021 and show no signs of letting up in the future. What do these rising costs and changing exposures mean for property insurance buyers and their brokers? Our panel will evaluate the state of the property insurance market at every level, discussing pricing, terms and conditions, product innovation, and strategies for all stakeholders. How will the coverage keep up? What options are available for buyers and sellers alike?
12:30pm-1:15pm
ESG Considerations for the Property Market
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is becoming a key concern for corporations and their insurance partners. How businesses manage climate risks, political unrest, and the social impact of their operations offers valuable risk insight for insurers. Insurers are also reviewing the industries they do or do not want to insure. At the same time, businesses want to know their insurance partners understand their sustainability efforts and product needs. What impact does a greater focus on ESG have on property insurance?

Underwriting Challenges for Property Insurance
Accurate property valuation remains an obstacle for insurers and buyers and can impact both balance sheet understanding, reinsurance, and risk accumulation. What are the ramifications of inadequate values on not only replacement costs but other coverage and ultimate loss totals? How can stakeholders on both sides find common ground? Has any headway on this issue been made amid a hard market, a pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and higher construction costs?
11:50am-12:35pm
Property Insurance and Loss Development: Overcoming Uncertainty
With 1:100 events occurring more frequently and loss creep from previous years’ events persisting, property insurers face more uncertainty than ever. Litigation over property coverage and wordings has also tested how policies respond to more frequent catastrophes over the last decade. How can risk managers achieve contract certainty with new exposures evolving every day?
