Webinar: Summary of the market cycle

Join us for a presentation by Alan Chandler, one of the UK's most popular presenters, as he explores the causes of market cycles in the insurance industry and forecasts a potential soft market in 2024. Having accurately predicted the hard market in 2020, Alan will discuss the seven reasons behind market hardening, the current high rates, and favorable investment returns that are attracting new entrants and expanding existing capacity. While rates are not expected to drop overnight, 2024 may see a shift in demand and supply, compelling insurers to compete more aggressively and possibly change their operational approaches, such as improving broker communication. Alan will also provide insights on how brokers and underwriters can thrive in a softening market, emphasizing the importance of genuine benefits for policyholders at renewal. This presentation will prepare you for the anticipated market changes ahead.
