E&S leaders network examines talent gap, claims severity and governance
Insurance Business TV launched a new E&S focused leaders network, bringing together experts from AJ Wayne and Associates and Brown and Riding to discuss challenges facing the growing excess and surplus insurance market.
In the debut episode, the panel looks at whether the E&S talent gap is driven more by judgment issues or by headcount constraints, and it links the problem to the segment's growing reliance on talent, delegated authority, and regulatory infrastructure.
The discussion also covers other pressures in the market, including rising claims severity and governance concerns, alongside the operational question of how leaders determine when to draw limits in their underwriting decisions.
The conversation frames E&S as expanding amid an admitted market retreat, while emphasizing that the leadership and controls needed to route business back to admitted markets are becoming increasingly central.
