BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Commercial property program business saw robust growth in 2014, as premium revenue increased 7.3% to $32.30 billion in 2013, according to a study released Thursday by the Target Markets Program Administrators Association.

The first study reported $17.5 billion in commercial insurance premium revenue in 2010, the group said in a statement.

The report, “The State of Program Business Study,” was released Oct. 27 at the association’s 15th annual summit in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to the statement.

According to the study, the program industry’s current growth rate of 7.4% percent “substantially exceeds” the growth rate of the commercial lines market, pegged at 1.7% for the same time period by the report.

“Our annual program business study once again confirms that program business is the fastest growing segment and one of the most vibrant sectors of the commercial insurance market,” Heidi Strommen, president of ProHost USA Inc. and current president of the association, said in the statement.

Sponsored by Allied World Assurance Co. Ltd., BMS Intermediaries Inc., Chubb Corp., Ironshore Inc., NetRate Systems and Rockhill Specialty Programs, the annual study was conducted by the research firm Advisen Ltd. and included responses from more than 200 program administrators and program insurers, according to the statement.
