| 11:20 a.m. – 12:10 p.m. | The New Normal - Managing Cat Exposures and Mitigating Risk to Financial Stability With the increased prominence of catastrophic storms, it is crucial for property insurance operations to more effectively manage their aggregate exposures by adopting a more proactive approach that combines modeled loss output with actual hazard exposure. This means to methodically assess and monitor the total amount of risk across all policies to prevent exceeding their capacity to pay out claims in the event of widespread disasters or a series of smaller losses. This session will describe how this type of risk management strategy safeguards insurers’ financial stability, allowing them to continue providing excellent coverage to policyholders.
