Book Description
An in-depth look at the increasingly significant convergence between the insurance industry and the capital markets.
This important publication, by two premier financial experts, explores the unique convergence of finance and insurance. The book covers the basics of property-casualty insurance, securitizing insurance risks, looks at life insurance in the United States and ALM in insurance. It addresses the questions and concerns of investment banks, brokerage firms and the insurance/reinsurance sector itself, examines ongoing trends and issues, and how current market pressures on insurance companies do not just create challenges but actually point the way to future promising developments.
From the Inside Flap
Over recent years, there has been great upheaval in the insurance industry. High profile cases such as Lloyds of London and various natural disasters have left the insurance industry struggling. Despite this, however, the market pressures on insurance companies are providing an incentive to change. As the insurance companies act on this, new opportunities are created.
This book offers an in-depth look at the increasingly significant convergence between the insurance industry and the capital markets which has resulted in insurance being seen as an up and coming asset class. Demonstrating how the industry can learn from past mistakes, the authors examine the implications of the intertwining of finance and insurance, both for investment banks and brokerage firms as well as the insurance sector itself.
