The Terrorism Diversifier: Rethinking Political Violence Insurance

<p>Mike O’Connor, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Crux Underwriting, joins for a conversation that is at turns insightful, deeply personal, strategic and technology focused. He explores why terrorism can act as a diversifier within a wider political violence portfolio, what that means for optimising capital and reinsurance, and how Crux, as an MGA in the political violence and terrorism insurance business, is using technology to change the way terrorism risks are distributed and underwritten. O’Connor also looks at how far specialty insurance can realistically be automated, and where Crux plans to take its innovative model next.</p>
