Since the credit crisis in 2008, M&A insurance and reinsurance activity has been on the rise. With speculation that valuations may have bottomed out, and that the industry may have excess capital, those companies that are looking to grow are doing so by acquiring market share.

This session will investigate current M&A trends in the marketplace. Panelists will summarize recent (post-2008) M&A activity and comment on how the underwriting cycle, interest/inflation rate changes and capital market events will affect upcoming activity.
