Demotech Presents To Insurance Accounting & Systems Association

Columbus, OH /PRNewswire/ - On October 22, 2018, Joseph L. Petrelli presented "Thoughts on Insurer Financial Analysis with a Focus on the Sunshine State" to the Sunshine State Chapter of the Insurance Accounting and Systems Association. During his presentation, Petrelli discussed the depth and scope of an insurer's public information and the inferences that can be drawn from that information, facts to dispel the myth of P&C insurer diversification, and the importance of a review of vertical and horizontal reinsurance when assigning a rating to insurers.

According to Petrelli, "The key take away was regional and specialty insurers with rigorous vertical and horizontal catastrophe reinsurance programs present consumers with the opportunity to shop for price and service in a competitive marketplace."
