OLDWICK, N.J., Nov 22 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Best is maintaining its market segment outlook for the delegated underwriting authority enterprise (DUAE) segment at positive, citing its sustained growth and niche expertise, despite potential issues that could arise from capacity challenges and rapid growth.
The DUAE distribution channel continues to increase its market share, supported by strong and sustained premium growth globally. According to the Best’s Market Segment Report, “Market Segment Outlook: Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises,” capacity for the DUAE segment has benefited from ongoing material growth in the excess and surplus (E&S) market, as elevated catastrophe activity and the regulatory environment continue to direct more premiums into surplus line businesses.“The general optimism among insurers and reinsurers about DUAEs persists, with more strategic partnerships being formed between carriers and DUAEs,” said Yizhou Hong, senior financial analyst, AM Best. “These partnerships are generally longer-term and allow capacity support across lines of business, industries, and geographies, instead of simply by program.”
