WEBINAR - Why underinsurance in home contents is so prevalent, and practical tips/tools to address it

Summary

Underinsurance is a major issue in the industry – many reports suggest that around 2/3 of
homes are underinsured. Unfortunately, the same is often true for the contents in those homes.
Why is this, and what can insurers and brokers do about it?


Who is it for?
This webinar is for brokers and insurers who handle home contents insurance for MNW and
HNW clients. It may also be of interest to insurers and brokers who insure significant assets
such as art, silverware, trophies and wine for commercial customers (e.g. restaurants, hotels,
charities, sports clubs, offices)

Learning objectives
By the end of the webinar, you will understand:
- What is underinsurance for contents?
- Why does it arise?
- The importance of accurately assessing replacement cost
- The impact of underinsurance – for clients, brokers and insurers
- Why the “value” can be hard to get right
- What to look for in a valuation
