Commissions: To Take or Not To Take. The Debate Continues.....

July 13, 2007

Insurance brokers reconsider taking insurer commissions | www.marketwatch.com

The controversy of contingent commissions is not a new one. This debate has caused significant changes to our views of broker payments, disclosure, ethics, and loyalty. The central question started off as being one about disclosure. Theoretically, if the client is aware then there isn't an issue. If this article is any indication, the debate is far from over. Aon, Marsh, Willis Group and Arthur J. Gallagher have all dealt with repercussions from investigations. Even though full disclosure is now a standard business practice, the question still remains.

Healthcare: The New International Market

July 9, 2007

Borders are no barrier to affordable healthcare | www.latimes.com

There are two key considerations I think are very indicative of the changing times of American healthcare. First of all, the Consumer Driven Model emerging as the primary vehicle of healthcare insurance. And secondly, the effects on domestic medical costs should this trend continue.

outsourcing - is it cost effective???

May 29, 2007

Insurance Outsourcing Focuses on India | www.insurancejournal.com

Insurers looking for cost cutting programs are interested in outsourcing operations and customer service functions. However, the success rate has been marginal. Outsourcing faces many challenges and will continue to do so until the Indian culture adapts its business models to ones compatible with our insurance practices.

Willis Re 1st View: The Tipping Point? | biz.yahoo.com

After twenty years in the industry, the industry cycle looks to me just like it looked last time and the time before. Despite apparent changes to expertise, capital providers and products; in 2007 the reinsurance industry appears to be heading in pretty much the same direction as in previous cycles – down.

Underestimating Life Expectancy could hamper growth of a profitable LS Exchange.

July 12, 2006

Cantor Eyes Life Settlement Exchange | www.iddmagazine.com

In my view future prospects for a Life Settlements exchange will be significantly hampered by life expectancy uncertainty.

Trading debt is not the same as trading lives, Industry players are reliant upon industry models which have continuously underestimated life expectancy and medical examiners who have consistently assumed individuals will die relatively quickly from whatever ails them.

Regulatory scrutiny of a transaction whereby a third party makes a return based on someone else’s life span will also hamper the growth of a simple exchange mechanism, especially as generally the longer the individual lives the less profitable the policy for the third party.
