Making programs perform

Article Abstract:

The reinsurance industry is the middle of a period of consolidation. This trend has been sparked by ceding companies, which are demanding greater solvency and better service. Reinsurers are trying to achieve a higher level of capitalization through acquisitions, stock offerings and private loans. Efforts to raise minimum capital requirements for reinsurers are already underway, and these efforts will be given a boost when the National Association of Insurance Commissioners implements new risk-based capital rules.

Small companies, big values

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of smaller property and casualty insurance companies are discovering the benefits of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). A survey of 150 executives reveals that 88% of the respondents believe that M&A activity will increase, and 54% of the executives believe most of this increase will come from deals worth less than $100 million. The reasons behind these deals include financial issues, growth, economies of scale and increasing regulation pertaining to liquidity and risk-based capital.

Small companies, big values

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of smaller insurance companies are entering into mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for financial gain. Some 38 life insurance companies were involved in M&A activity in 1991, and this number is expected to increase between 1992 and 1994. The reasons for the M&A activity include economies of scale, financial considerations and a desire for growth. These same factors have also led to M&As of larger firms.
