A.M. BestTV at MORO: Mutual Insurers Form Tight Bonds With Reinsurers
The panelists spoke about the role of mutual insurers in the 21st century.
“Technology is helping mutual companies grow and expand their product offerings. Technology has given mutuals the capital and stability to actually take additional risks,” said
“Mutuals have the ability to take a more longer-term view than stock companies and reinsurance has the capacity that allows them to take that view,” said
Steve Johnston director, reinsurance, Co-operators General Insurance Company, highlighted the responsibility each company has to its policyholders.
Johnston said, “It is about protecting our policyholders, being there for them when they need us the most, and when they do mutuals and co-operative reinsurance provides the solution to that problem.”
