Introduction and Seminar Aims
Insurance organizations face a number of challenges in the current environment including industry price competition, migration to a larger financial services universe and raising the necessary capital / equity to meet the first two challenges. Analysts must be able to understand and evaluate the financial operations of these organizations. Without this knowledge, the ability to identify the potential for profit and growth of an individual company and assess its current credit quality debt capacity, is an impossible task! Our seminars are designed to provide the qualitative and quantitative tools needed to undertake an analysis of the insurance industry and to determine the credit quality of an individual company.

Who Should Attend?
Investment and commercial bankers, credit analysts, insurance industry personnel, fixed income professionals, bond research (buy and sell side) and relationship managers who are involved in exposures to, or investments in, insurance companies.

• Appreciate the intrinsic financial dynamics of the insurance business
