Four former executives at Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s General Re Corp. unit and one at American International Group Inc. won the reversal of their convictions over a reinsurance transaction that prosecutors said fraudulently boosted AIG's loss reserves.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ordered on Monday a new trial for all five defendants, including former General Re Chief Executive Ronald Ferguson, citing errors by the presiding judge at their closely-watched 2008 trial.

Breaking News Alert

How Debt Ceiling Politics Impact P/C Insurance Industry

Read the full story

As they watched Congress struggle to put a debt deal in place by Aug. 2, U.S. insurers worried about their companies' portfolios, short- and long-term interest rates and a decline in equity markets.

The leading concern among insurers in the July 28 – 29 survey was a possible decline in capital (37%), followed by a lack of market liquidity and stock market volatility (both at 26%) should Congress fail to reach an agreement, according to an online survey of 35 insurance executives by global professional services company Towers Watson.

New Training from Academy of Insurance

Developing Producer Compensation & Agency Perpetuation Plans

Compensation plans are the most important tool an insurance agency uses to distinguish itself from competitors. Archaic, poorly executed models correlate to stagnant new business growth, employee dissatisfaction and poor retention. The influence of an appropriate compensation plan trickles down to successful recruiting and perpetuation.

Most notably this course provides specific plans for compensation design. Not exclusively designed for independent insurance agencies, any insurance organization can apply these concepts to its sales team.

Click Here to Register

What you will learn in this webinar:

  • When and how changes to current compensation plans should be made.
  • Formulas for the five most commonly used producer compensation plans including the best plan agencies rarely use!
  • Perpetuation concepts for validated producers involving ownership, divestiture and retirement.

When you register, you get:

  • Access to the live webinar
  • Video and Audio recordings, so you can watch or listen again
  • Question & Answer session with the instructor
  • Audio download of the webcast
  • Presentation slides download
