The Insurance Market Cycle: A Broker's View

‍

Recorded live on 29 April 2026.

The market is shifting. Premiums are softening in some lines, holding firm in others, and brokers are being asked harder questions by clients who've watched rates climb for three years.

This does not represent a full return to a soft market. But it does represent a moment where broker judgement matters more than it has in a while.

In this on-demand recording, John Nutter, Helen Davies Dip CII and Ian Stutz FCII sit down to talk through what brokers are seeing on renewals right now, and what it means for the conversations you're having with clients over the next twelve months.

What you'll take away

• Where the market is genuinely softening, and where it isn't
• How to frame renewal conversations when clients expect rate reductions · What underwriters are pushing back on, and why
• Practical judgement calls brokers are making in property, casualty and financial lines
• How to evidence the advice you're giving, for the client file and for the FCA
