Business Decisions — Reinsurer Versus Direct Company Perspectives

In May of 2006 the Life Insurance Mortality and Underwriting Survey Committee of the SOA surveyed both reinsurers and direct companies about their practices with respect to making business decisions in the underwriting process. This article from the SOA's Reinsurance News highlights the comparison of the results of the two surveys as outlined in detail in Appendix 2 of the Direct Company Survey. Familiarity with the surveys and their definitions is assumed.
