Why D&O Insurance Prices Have Dropped 60% Since 2021
from The SPAC Podcast: Special Purpose Acquisition Company · host Joshua Wilson
In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Chaz breaks down why D&O insurance pricing has plummeted nearly 60% over the past nine quarters and why the market looks so different today compared to the 2021 peak.He explains how a flood of new insurance carriers entered the market post-2021, doubling the number of firms writing public D&O insurance from ~32 to ~65 by the end of 2022. With increased competition and new entrants unburdened by legacy claims reserves, carriers were able to aggressively lower prices.The result? SPAC sponsors and boards are seeing historically low costs for D&O coverage, creating opportunities but also raising questions about long-term market sustainability.Connect with the Guest:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chazchurchwell/View all of their episodes here:https://www.thespacpodcast.com/guests/chazConnect with the Hosts & The SPAC Podcast:Michael Blankenship LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeblankenship/Joshua Wilson LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabrucewilson/YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@ThespacpodcastContact The SPAC Podcast:https://www.thespacpodcast.com/contact/#SPACs #CapitalMarkets #SPACPodcast #DandOInsurance #InsurancePricing #RiskManagement #DeSPACThe views, opinions, and statements expressed by the guest are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of The SPAC Podcast, its hosts, or affiliated organizations.
