Non-public P&C insurance carriers are reporting continued rate increases, with direct-written premiums increasing 3.7 percent in 2011 compared to 0.3 percent in 2010, according to a report from SNL Financial.

The SNL report, based on company filings with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) by non-public insurance carriers, “finds more evidence of the turn in the pricing cycle previously observed by the combination of agent surveys, retail brokers and regional, commercial-lines-focused insurers.”

SNL says its analysis was based on a review of management discussions and annual-statutory statements filed with state-insurance regulators, as well as annual reports by select reciprocal exchanges, privately held stock companies and mutual carriers.
