Insurers grapple with growing demand for cover against intangible risks

John Hurrell, chief executive of Airmic

The trend towards globalisation, digitisation and intangible assets is changing the risk landscape at an unprecedented rate. Intelligent Insurer heard from executives at the Airmic Conference 2017 in Birmingham, UK, about the current opportunities and potential threats.

“The risk landscape is moving faster than ever before and in many dimensions at the same time.”

These were the words of John Hurrell, outgoing CEO of the UK insurance and risk management association Airmic, speaking at his last Airmic conference before retirement.

Against a backdrop of more complex and harder-to-define risks, the insurance industry is starting to recognise that traditional insurance is losing its relevance, added deputy CEO Julia Graham.
