SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ.–Despite a heavy push for new business by insurers, managing general agents should be prepared to take a pass on questionable risks, an insurance executive said.

Mr. Behymer made his suggestions yesterday during a lecture here on “Insurance Trends” at the 82nd annual meeting of the American Association of Managing General Agents.
