IUMI is delighted to invite all insurance professionals to a three-part webinar series on marine underwriters’ financial fundamentals, featuring nine experts from our member base around the world.
This series is for staff with roughly up to ten years’ experience, and for anyone else who’d like a refresher on the basics of an underwriter’s toolbox. Each webinar runs in three short segments and closes with a Q&A.
We’d encourage you to sign up for all three to get the complete picture – registration links are below.
Webinar 1: Technical Core Concepts
We start with rate tools – from pricing to client proposals – presented by IUMI’s Chief Analyst. We’ll then look at technical rate elements from the perspective of a reinsurance actuary and treaty underwriter (Mr. Tobias Gütschow, Gen Rem Germany), before covering the expense ratio which is presented by Mr. Ehab Fawzy, CFO at Tokio Marine in Egypt.
