The next year is shaping up to be one of the most challenging for insurers and brokers, as investment income and premium rates plummet. The February/March edition of Insurance News (the magazine) reports on the background to this situation, and what to expect.

But it’s all smiles at Lloyd’s, where Chairman John Nelson sees the market’s radical reform program beginning to be felt, even as it deals with increasing competition. One priority is accelerating the pace of just about everything in its crucial Australian business.

You can also meet the CEO of Australia’s largest insurer, with invested assets the size of Suncorp and IAG combined. You can learn how the experts see new risks growing in likelihood and impact, and why the emerging “sharing economy” is an insurance nightmare.

From drones to the products brokers should be showing their clients and court decisions you should know about, you’ll find it all in the industry’s largest-circulation and most highly regarded news publication – Insurance News (the magazine). It’s free, and it’s only available to subscribers.
