Wondering what's happening in the insurance market? Understanding its cyclical nature is key. In a soft market, premiums stabilize or decrease, coverage broadens, and competition among insurers heats up. On the flip side, a hard market brings higher premiums, stricter terms, and reduced insurer competition, driven by factors like catastrophic losses and economic shifts.

We had another productive few days at Insurance Leadership Forum (ILF) in Colorado Springs, hosted by The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers. While the insurance industry has faced a number of challenges over the past few years, the deep collaboration we’re fortunate to have with our carrier and vendor partners allows us to respond quickly to market changes and to deliver exceptional products and services to our clients.   We leave ILF with confidence for the future, optimism for the insurance marketplace over 2025, and gratitude for true partnerships that let us best serve clients.   With the tragedy of Hurricane Helene and the approaching Hurricane Milton, we are reminded of why insurance exists: to serve customers during times of crisis and help build back what was lost. #ILF2024 #leavittgroup #partnership #insuranceleadership

Encouraging healthy behaviors and maintaining a clean workspace are key to reducing the spread of illness. https://lnkd.in/gXE4qQwy
