Between a rock and a hard place?

Insurers in each of our markets now have to navigate a tricky course between: • continuing to invest heavily in these portfolios, knowing that the modest rate rises currently being obtained (which may in any case not last) won’t be enough to sustain long term profits according to their models; and • scaling back to wait for better conditions to materialise, which of course runs the risk of depleted premium income and the threat of overall portfolio unsustainability.

Our Review uses a mixture of American and English spelling, depending on the nationality of the author concerned.
We have used capital letters to describe various classes of insurance products and markets, but otherwise we have used lower case to describe various parts of the energy industry itself.
