Understanding Commercial Property Underwriting and "COPE" A 2-Part Series, starts Thursday, December 2 reserve your spot today to attend online and get archive access! For nearly 300 years, real property underwriters have been using the same four basic elements of underwriting data: Construction, Occupancy, Protection and Exposure ("COPE"). Each of these four basic data points plays an important part in the property underwriting process. This two-part series offers a unique perspective of each of these data points. Anyone writing property insurance will benefit from this class. Register today!
