CLRS Showcases Top Insurance Analysts

Jay Cohen and Weston Hicks, two of the top insurance analysts in the world today, are the featured speakers at this year's Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar (CLRS), to be held September 18-19 in Minneapolis. Both Cohen and Hicks have been named to Institutional Investor's All-America Research Team on multiple occasions with Hicks receiving first-place rankings in each of the past six years.

One of the CLRS' many offerings, a general session entitled, "Investors View of the Insurance Industry," will address the qualities of a successful insurer and the impact of securitization as well as other innovative means of raising capital in the industry. The session will also highlight how investors value insurance companies and the role actuaries can play.
