Advanced
Underwriting is addressed to underwriters
with some experience. It continues and expands the discussion begun inC120:
Underwriting Essentials.
You will review the nature of an underwriter’s
work and the types of knowledge, skill and temperament an underwriter needs.
Advanced Underwriting examines how these characteristics must
be broadened and deepened to analyze the needs and loss experience of larger,
more complex risks.
You will be exposed to some more unusual or
specialized lines of insurance. You will consider the broader perspective a more
experienced underwriter needs in dealing with the legal and regulatory
environment, manuscript wordings, alternative risk transfer, reinsurance and
international risks.
