Navigate the evolving landscape of financial institutions insurance with our latest report. We provide a comprehensive overview of market conditions across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia/New Zealand, detailing critical insights on rate changes, coverage trends, and capacity as of late 2025.
01
FI insurance rates exhibit varied trends across global markets and coverage lines. While some areas, such as certain D&O and asset manager coverages, are experiencing flat to modest decreases, others, including professional liability, cyber, and fiduciary liability, generally see stable to slight increases. Significant rate reductions (e.g., 10-30%) are noted in specific lines like D&O, PI, and Crime in various regions.
02
Coverage remains robust, with opportunities for enhancements for strong performers. However, complex and emerging exposures like crypto assets, real estate, and FinTech operations face stricter underwriting and potentially higher premiums. There's a growing global emphasis on cyber and AI risks, with cyber liability increasingly integrated into broader policies.
03
Market capacity is generally abundant across regions, driven by increased competition and the entry of new players, particularly for excess layers. This competitive environment is contributing to more aggressive pricing in many segments.
04
Regulatory scrutiny, economic uncertainty, and evolving technological risks (such as AI, cyber threats, deepfake, and social engineering) are significantly shaping underwriting decisions. Claims frequency and severity are rising globally.
05
Insureds are advised to leverage competitive market conditions by exploring alternative carriers, restructuring layered programs, engaging brokers early, and proactively addressing emerging risks like FinTech and cyber vulnerabilities. Maintaining strong insurer relationships is crucial for stability and claims service.
