earnings call roundup - CB Insights Research

Tallying up insurer-tech partnerships. This week in insurance tech.

Hi there,

After a quarter marked by a string of catastrophes from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria to major earthquakes in Mexico, it wasn’t surprising that catastrophe losses dominated insurance earnings calls over the last two weeks.

But outside of historic catastrophe losses, here are a few other tidbits that caught our eye in our quarterly earnings call roundup:

Insurers are still proceeding with caution on cyber insurance
A new in-house climate startup at XL Catlin’s venture unit
Allstate is starting to carry the underwriting risk of SquareTrade, which has grown to 34M+ policies
Aetna is increasing its focus on data analytics

Read the full roundup.

Have a great week,

Matt
