Monthly insurance policy wording update
The Word, November 2024
25 November 2024
For our November edition of The Word we cover a range of topics of interest from across the insurance sector.
In light of recent events, we take a look at weather protection parametric insurance and what the associated trends mean for the insurance industry. We also consider what lessons insurers can learn from the Post Office Horizon scandal.
After Donald Trump’s re-election in the US, we examine what this means for insurers in the UK.
Additionally, we explore the impacts of a new carbon fraud product and the recently announced Environmental Crime Financial Toolkit.
Finally, we consider the implications for insurance professionals of ‘The Grate Cheese Robbery’.
We hope you find this edition informative and insightful.
