Advisen's State of the Market & 2010 Outlook Webinar

This free one hour webinar will be held on Thursday, October 22 @ 11am EDT. Our panelists are Lexington's David Bresnahan, Marsh's Brian Elowe, Swett & Crawford's Bob Greenebaum and Advisen's Dave Bradford and Jim Blinn.

The insurance marketplace continues its downward progression of pricing. Two noticeable factors for the last six months: lack of catastrophic losses and the price increases in stock investments that have ballooned insurance company surplus.

As year end approaches, this Webinar panel will discuss the market, upcoming renewal trends for year end, and debate how market participants should budget & plan for next year. Will the continuing economic softness drive premiums and perpetuate heated price competition? This free one hour webinar will also address pricing trends by line of business including a 2010 forecast.

Target Audience: Buyers of Insurance and other commercial insurance professionals who are budgeting for 2010.

Advisen's new free 8 page briefing, "Planning for 2010: The Recession Will Keep Commercial Insurance Premiums Under Pressure," examines the forces driving the commercial insurance pricing cycle and the impact of the recession on premiums. It outlines the most likely economic scenario for 2010, which leads to slowly rising premiums in 2011, but also explores circumstances that could trigger a new round of cutthroat pricing competition. The briefing is available from the Advisen Corner, http://corner.advisen.com/reports_topical_planning_2010_home.html
