Sample Issue
Real stories. Real market intelligence. Here's a peek at what a recent digest looked like.
Several E&S carriers have signaled Q2 pullbacks in wildfire-exposed ZIP codes across Northern California, citing loss ratios above 130%. Wholesalers report submission volumes surging while bindable capacity shrinks — a dynamic not seen since the 2019 post-Woolsey contraction.
CNA Hardy's surplus lines unit quietly updated its underwriting guidelines to accept CAT-exposed commercial property up to $25M TIV in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas — reversing a 2023 moratorium. Brokers confirmed the appetite change this week.
A draft bulletin circulated ahead of the spring plenary session would allow single-state filing to satisfy non-admitted placement disclosure requirements across 34 states — a potential compliance win for wholesale brokers working multi-state accounts.
Every issue surfaces what E&S underwriters, wholesale brokers, and surplus lines professionals actually need to know — without the press releases and filler.
What We Cover
Four focus areas, curated weekly from the sources that matter in surplus lines.
Hard market signals, capacity contractions, rate movement, and the macro forces shaping non-admitted placements across property, casualty, and specialty lines.
New program launches, appetite updates, leadership changes, and strategic pivots from the carriers and managing general agents driving the wholesale market.
Stamping office bulletins, NAIC task force developments, state filing rule changes, and compliance news that affects surplus lines brokers and their clients.
No press releases, no sponsored content. Every story is pulled from trade publications, regulatory filings, and primary sources — then summarized for busy professionals.
