Who are the Insurance Underwriters?
Underwriters are insurance professionals who analyze and evaluate the insurability of a particular risk and determine an appropriate price to insure that risk. So, let's focus on partnering with a strong group of underwriters that understand the risks.
How do we assess if they are strong? They tend to have a huge appetite for learning the technical aspects of insurance, industry and overall macro-environment issues related to the business. Underwriters need to be creative as risks do evolve, and part of knowing how to price risk is to adapt quickly and learn often. They need to think long term, not short term. They want to be known as the underwriters with expertise, and not underwriters who offer the cheapest price.
