This seminar will examine the correlation between
the degree of state government regulation and the availability
of product in particular lines of business. This seminar will examine
approaches that states have used to deal with problems of availability
and the degrees of success they have experienced. Attendees will
gain an understanding of the forces that drive product availability,
as well as the consequences when these forces work against each
other. This seminar will benefit underwriters, brokers and insurance
industry personnel in regulatory, product development and actuarial
areas. |
