Executive Summary IS THIS THE END OF THE SOFT MARKET? November and December are the months that ultimately dictate the annual statistics and determine the direction the market will take as we enter the new year. With the November placements now wrapped up, and our knowledge of the December renewals that have already been concluded, our analysis highlights increased signs that market conditions are changing. Renewal results have become extremely segmented and as such there is great disparity amongst the statistics. Capacity remains a key factor and it is clear that increased underwriting discipline/selectivity is now having a greater effect. Whilst theorectical capacity levels haven’t reduced, and we are yet to see any significant withdrawals, the reality is that the available capacity at a competitive level of pricing has become very limited. Markets are now prepared to reduce their overall line sizes if they are not happy with the level of pricing offered, despite any long-term relationships that they may have. Likewise underwriters are now also declining more risks due to pricing, regardless of any negative effect on their premium income. These factors mean that a large portion of available market capacity now exists in a dormant state, waiting for its required criteria to be met before it returns. Price differentiation is also a key point. We often talk of the market as if it moves as one, when in reality this is not the case as it consists of numerous participants, each of whom have differing tolerances and philosophies which ultimately effect the price of each account. Traditionally, every underwriter writes business at their own terms, usually at a reduction to that of the leader, however this market verticalisation is now regularly flipped on its head resulting in a price which is higher than lead terms. This too is an important signal that placing business at a competitive price is becoming harder. December could well end up being the most interesting renewal month in recent years.

4 AEROSPACE | PLANE TALKING | NOVEMBER 2016

Renewal Analysis The larger selection of renewals in November provide us with a far better view of current market conditions than we have seen in recent months. On analysis of these renewals it is evident that underwriters are taking a harder stance to that seen throughout the year. Whilst we continue to observe a three-tier market, it is clear that underwriting discipline and risk selectivity are having a greater influence on results, both positively and negatively dependent on each individuals circumstances and profile. As such it has now become increasingly difficult to report monthly average figures for the market as a whole when conditions and pricing are so segmented. That said, the overall subjective summary is that it is becoming more and more difficult to place airline business with aviation underwriters at the competitive terms that the market has become accustomed to.
