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”.

April 21, 2016 Reprints

Data by A.M. Best Co. Inc. has found that insurers and reinsurers have increased their retention of catastrophe risk at the 1-in-100-year level, reports Artemis.bm.

The rating agency examined the probable maximum loss data from 25 of the largest of its rated insurers and reinsurers writing catastrophe-exposed business in London, Europe and Bermuda from the end of 2012 to the end of 2015. A.M. Best found that the increase in retention was due to pricing fluctuations and possibly the influence of alternative reinsurance capital.
