Marine

The Marine insurance market for cargo, hull, and liability risks continues to reflect soft conditions, driven by abundant capacity, moderating loss levels, and strong competition in both London and U.S. markets.

Property

The U.S. Property market continues to favor buyers, driven by an influx of new capital, particularly into the excess and surplus (E&S) space, and strong reinsurance support.

The Public Entities insurance market in spring 2026 is best described as stable with pockets of continued softening.

The Real Estate and Hospitality insurance market in early 2026 continues to reflect two very different trajectories.

Senior Care

The Senior Care industry enters 2026 continuing to build on the momentum of late 2025, with a cautiously optimistic outlook supported by strong demographic demand and ongoing investment in the space.
