Domestic surplus lines insurers in 2011 were able to reverse a four-year decline in premiums produced, according to an annual report on the industry.
The report, released by A.M. Best, says domestic surplus lines writers reported a 3.2 percent increase in direct premiums written in 2011, primarily due to lessening competitive pressure from standard-market companies.
And the trend continued into the first quarter of 2012, with direct premiums rising 7 percent in the quarter, A.M. Best says.
