This talk will be given by Steve Coates ACII, Chief Underwriting Officer, Pool Re
Steve Coates is Chief Underwriting Officer for Pool Re and has been in post since 2012. He is responsible for all aspects of underwriting, claims, modelling, exposure management and external retrocession. Prior to this he was Head of UK Property & Casualty at Allianz where he spent 11 years including one in Australia. Before this he worked at Independent Insurance where he ended up as UK Property Underwriting manager. He started his career at Eagle Star.
Steve will cover why the Pool Re scheme still exists and how it is changing to meet the modern threat.
He will explain how to go about underwriting a risk that can't be approached in a conventional manner and how this differs from other low probability, high severity events. The event will also cover how terrorism might further develop in the future as a distinct class of business.
Learning objectives: At the end of this event, the delegate will be able to identify:
- why Pool Re exists
- the current threat
- how terrorism differs from other catastrophe perils
