Underwriting
Underwriting life and health insurance applications requires specialist skills and expert tools.
Swiss Re offers a range of services and support to meet our clients’ underwriting needs.
At a strategic level, we help our clients to develop a holistic underwriting philosophy to ensure that the interaction of different risks is considered during the underwriting procedure. We also advise on optimising the costs and benefits of the underwriting process and maintaining adequate risk management protocols.
At an operational level, we can provide a tailored underwriting service, including offering specialist knowledge of medical issues, conducting underwriting audits and facultative case assessment – where we are able to provide a swift decision on offering capacity. Through seminars and individual company workshops, we are committed to providing professional training and development for our clients, aimed at building a sound knowledge base of best underwriting practice.
Swiss Re’s services in the underwriting arena include Life Guide, our comprehensive global internet-based underwriting manual, Magnum, Swiss Re’s point-of-sale underwriting system, and computer-based training for underwriters.
