AmWins: Pace of rate acceleration decreasing

Yesterday, broker AmWins issued a report on the state of the wholesale market, giving the first detailed look at pricing and other trends in Q2, with data through April and May. Recall, the increase in submission flow and pricing last year in the wholesale space was a key leading indicator of a firming market, and with the segment now lapping “rate on rate” amid the backdrop of uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 exposures, the wholesale market is likely to prove a key barometer again in 2020.
