Latest news and insights

The exponential growth and reach of social media have given consumer brands new platforms to engage with existing clients as well as to expand their client base. It can, sometimes in conjunction with partnerships with influencers, enable brands to target specific consumer groups and re-shape the image of products and brands. However, social media has also amplified the potential negative effects that statements or events can have on a company’s reputation, both in terms of frequency as well as severity.

How indexation helps to prevent underinsurance in real estate

High inflation has contributed to soaring reconstruction costs in real estate. This inflation is intertwined with high demand, supply chain issues, labour shortages, and expensive energy. Indexation can help keeping sums insured aligned with actual replacement costs, preventing insurance payouts from failing to cover the full costs of a loss event.

Why museums need a well-managed and scheduled collection

The recent theft of several objects from the British Museum has underlined the need for effective collection management among museums, galleries, and other collection-based institutions. While government-sponsored institutions will usually be covered for their losses by the state, private institutions will typically purchase commercial insurance. For such institutions, failure to demonstrate collection management best-practice could trigger negative consequences in the event of a loss, including financial or reputational damage, or less favourable insurance terms.

Recent events create volatility for terrorism insurance

The global terrorism and political violence market has experienced increased volatility in recent years. Civil unrest in Chile, Hong Kong and South Africa generated significant losses. This was further compounded by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In response, the market hardened quickly: insurers pushed for higher rates to offset losses, imposed more restrictive terms and adjusted their risk selection approach. Sublimits that had been available for extensions like “contingent business interruption”, “unnamed suppliers”, “service interruption” and “miscellaneous unnamed locations” were commonly excluded, as renewal negotiations became more protracted.
