Securing the Future: Insurance in an Era of Increased Natural Disasters
Length: 2 Hours

We review historical data enabling the agent to confidently explain the changing environment to their clients. We will discuss what factors contribute to the hard market (property specifically) and how agents can instruct their clients on risk management, risk mitigation versus relying solely on financial risk transfer.
