Is it time for a market turn? What, if any coverages written in the London market are showing signs of firming?

C-suite executives expect risk managers to better explain risks and solutions and become more involved and integrated in daily activities, according to a recent survey.

The majority of risk managers surveyed, 53.7 percent, say they are “very satisfied” with their insurers in a survey of 364 insurance buyers by the Flaspöhler Research Group, in partnership with NU.

From a choice of 50 providers, Zurich and the Chubb Group of Insurance Cos. were named as the no. 1 and 2 overall favorites of insurance buyers in the “Risk Manager Choice Awards” as the “best overall” insurance companies.

Industry reports released over the past week show that plenty of capacity still remains for property and casualty lines, but the direction of pricing remains uncertain.

Corporate insurance buyers explain the qualities that help make Zurch and Chubb the top choice in the “best overall” category in the 2011 Risk Manager Choice Awards survey.

Risk managers were asked to vote on their product and service preferences in 14 commercial insurance line categories. Here are the winners, along with a compensation survey for risk management professionals.
