Transactional risk insurance 2021 : year in review. — London [etc.] : Marsh , 2022

16 p.

Sumario: Last year proved to be a challenging year for the transaction risk insurers, notably so in the second half, as global demand pressed the capacity and execution capabilities. That demand is self-evident, as the global placements completed by the major markets rose to new heights. Transactional risk insurance remains an established deal solution in the M&A marketplace, seeing wider adoption across industries, geographies, and transaction sizes. Tax and contingent risk insurance solutions continues to expand their role in the transaction environment and we anticipate that this trend will persist. Pricing increases were universal last year, while varying across geographies. Capacity constraints compounded the rate increases, so we anticipate some rate moderation in the medium term, as deal activity normalizes, annually allocated capacity is reopened, and new market entrants begin writing business. Overall capacity expansion is likely in 2022, along with modest pressure for rate relief and continued policy innovation. Claim notifications are rising, and the speed of notification is accelerating, but time will tell how these correlate with payment dollars. It is logical to assume claims activity will rise based on transaction volume, and the increased number of transactions alone. Last year has demonstrated that transactional risk insurance is a highly responsive, as well as important and growing, part of the M&A deal environment and we expect this to continue moving forward
