Are you equipped to compete in a faster market? London market insurers are increasingly looking to adopt algorithmic and smart follow approaches to underwriting, after early adopters have proved these techniques can be profitable. This allows brokers to access capacity more quickly, while insurers can underwrite with lower expenses. Insurers anticipate that wider adoption will bring competitive pressure. Do they want to compete against underwriting firms that can quote and bind almost instantly at low expense, or do they want to offer fast capacity themselves? But smart follow, algorithmic underwriting and augmented underwriting are not all the same. A diverse range of techniques can help insurers deploy capacity quickly at low expense. For companies looking to get involved for the first time, there's now a wide menu of options to build your own solutions or partner with others.
