The E&S property market is in a period of transition. While rates are easing and capacity is returning, volatility remains. Tonya Courtney, head of E&S Brokerage Property at Nationwide, explains why this tension makes the market riskier and why old strategies like broad appetite and aggressive pricing no longer work.

In this podcast, you’ll learn:

  • What increased CAT volatility and reinsurance pressures are doing to underwriting strategies
  • Why today’s market demands a more intentional, transparent, and data-driven approach
  • How brokers can thrive by leaning into precision, understanding carrier appetites, and building stronger partnerships
