AmWINS State of the Market | 3

Specialization is at the center of our strategy at AmWINS. We believe it allows us to not only bring
expertise to the table, but share information and market insights with the agents, brokers, underwriters
and other insurance industry stakeholders with whom we work on a daily basis.
Each year we tap into our vast internal network of specialists to provide an in-depth look at the trends,
issues and developments shaping key segments of the property and casualty marketplace. This report
capitalizes on the knowledge and experience of AmWINS’ risk and industry practice leaders and
brokers who are immersed in the E&S marketplace.
These experts have relationships with all the leading carriers and work closely with retail clients, helping
them provide better solutions for insureds. They stay on top of key technical and industry developments
while looking ahead at what could be in store in 2017 and beyond.
The dynamic landscape of our business can be challenging. However, we believe that we know our
industry better than anyone, and constantly strive to maintain this edge. Sharing our observations and
assessments not only provides our clients and partners with a better understanding of overall market
conditions, but gives them a resource they can rely on and a partner they can trust.
We hope you find this year’s State of the Market informative and useful.
