The Bordereaux Bottleneck: Why reporting is still the industry’s biggest drag
Bordereaux reporting remains a major drag on the delegated authority market, with manual, inconsistent processes delaying data, restricting capital flow and undermining trust across MGAs, carriers and reinsurers. The solution lies in real-time, automated data infrastructure that transforms fragmented reporting into a connected, transparent and scalable system. In conversation with Scott Quiana, CEO of Noldor, we discuss how the company is building infrastructure to remove bottlenecks, restore confidence and enable the program insurance market to grow with greater speed and precision.

The hidden impact: climate risk and property value loss – Is subsidence the next flood?
InsTech hosted a webinar with PriceHubble and MIAC Analytics, highlighting how property-level climate risk modelling uncovers hidden subsidence vulnerabilities, reveals geographic patterns of emerging “uninsurable” zones, links rebuild costs to asset value erosion, and helps insurers strengthen underwriting, portfolio management and exposure assessment.
