Of these property and casualty insurance carriers looking internally to improve underwriting practices, a noticeable trend is the increased use of reinsurance and the exit from unprofitable lines. Another key way that insurance carriers are working to preserve profitability is relying on stringent underwriting to improve risk selection. This process involves using the latest inspection technology and data to make more informed underwriting decisions.
Some insurance carriers that have already been hunkering down on underwriting practices are seeing improvement in ratios. This indicates that strengthening underwriting practices is an effective way to achieve profitability in a highly competitive market. Instead of making the quantity of properties written a priority, carriers that focus on the quality of properties will be in a stronger position in today’s environment.
