If you do not understand what Solvency II is doing in your market place then you will be failing your clients – this presentation will help you understand all the changes going on in your market

The UK insurance market along with the rest of Europe is completely changing because of Solvency II. Since its implementation it has largely gone under the radar, however it is causing massive changes to the UK insurance market place and what we are seeing is only the beginning.

The change in the Ogden table rate has speeded up the changes caused by Solvency II and together they are causing the perfect storm.

The following are just a few of the examples of how Solvency II and Ogden are changing your market place:

• LV seek out Allianz’s massive cash pile despite its operation running well
• Markerstudy are turning to the vast wealth of Qatar Re to keep them going
• ERS pull of haulage fleet despite 12 months ago being one of the ‘go to’ markets
• Gable disappear completely
• There is a rush to the exit door for motor trade and construction business for many insurers and minimum premiums are increasing massively.

Alan will explain, in plain English, the background of why solvency margins are so important. He will show how Solvency II operates and how it is changing our market place.

He will also use this presentation as an opportunity to build on his well-received Ogden presentation last year to explain where we are now with Ogden, what may or may not happen next and how the combination of Solvency II and Ogden will continue to create lots of changes in the market place, with insurers reducing appetite in high risk classes of business and how many insurers and MGA’s may well struggle unless they have a great business model.
