Underwriting
All successful insurance companies rely on the strength of their underwriting
performance. In recent years, regulatory demands and the risk management
requirements of rating agencies have seen insurers seek to establish
well-diversified portfolios requiring extensive underwriting expertise,
while the financial crisis and its impact on investment returns has driven
home the importance of underwriting for profit.
In such a climate, we believe that experience is essential. The Kane
team encompasses a vast array of experience in underwriting a wide range
of specialist insurance classes on behalf of clients in many different
markets.
Our experience can be used to bolster existing underwriting talent,
or alternatively to provide an underwriting platform in a new territory,
such as the Middle East, where a presence has been established, but the
organisation has yet to open a fully serviced office.
We also provide clients with a full suite of financial management and
risk control services. These services range from the provision of underwriting
back office support to full operational management of insurance vehicles,
such as mutual insurers, captive insurers, protected/incorporated cell
companies and special purpose vehicles.
In addition, we offer a complete range of third party claims administration
facilities. At Kane, we fully understand the importance of timely and
efficient claims management processes and will act on delegated authority
to settle claims, to an agreed amount, on behalf of our clients.
Kane's specialist underwriting and claims team offer clients a full
range of services tailored to their unique circumstances.
