D&O

[hacktuary85]

Does anyone have any experience on D&O underwritting. I am trying to taylor a model that determines which companies are "insurable" and which companies are not.I was thinking in making a discriminant analysis model ors some other multivariant model such as rough set. Any recomendations. Should I base it mainly in financial ratios or should i give more weight to other factors. Just wondering if you could help me a bit with the brainstorming. Thanks a lot.

You can pull some rate filings and see what other companies use.

there are also some scores (advisen has one) that tries to rank a company on governance score of some kind. the d&o diary blog had an article about it once or twice. there are others as well.

everyone is insurable. just depends what you want to get paid and where on the tower you want to sit.

Or, everyone is uninsurable, depending on your definition. Who knows what the next back-dating event will be and who will be involved in it.
