#16 - A Day in the Life of an Underwriter

This week’s episode focuses on Ben’s time as an underwriter at Lloyd’s of London. The guys go through common challenges plagued by every underwriter, the digitisation of risk, how reinsurance pricing works, and the differences between underwriters and actuaries. We’ve also got a new game that’s both interesting and informative, particularly so if you’re a total nerd for (re)insurance.
