Insurers Overly Focused On Cat Models, Says Expert | www.propertyandcasualtyinsurancenews.com
Primary insurers and reinsurers will demand that catastrophic modeling be used in order to justify their underwriting decisions of this type of insurance. These newer models in conjunction with in-house capacity aggregation tools (Insurers now know where and how much of their capacity is in play) will guide their underwriting decisions from windstorm and earthquake to workers compensation in terrorism prone cities like DC and NYC. The process is another way to spread the risk, so that any one insurer does not take a huge hit from any one event. Using technology to spread risk will utimately decrease volatility in insurance markets.

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.
