D&O Insurance in Spain

D&O Insurance in Spain is about the market for directors' and officers' liability cover in Spain. In addition to documenting the development of the market value from 2010 to 2014, the report also divides it for the most recent year for three key segmentations: between publicly listed corporate enterprises, unlisted corporate enterprises and other entities (e.g. non-incorporated businesses and the not-for-profit sector); between the financial services sector, the non-financial services sector and the manufacturing / primary sector; and between underwriters based in Spain itself and underwriters located outside of it.

These unique market splits are based in part on a survey of leading brokers and underwriters of D&O insurance in Spain. This same survey also identifies the underwriters of this type of cover used by brokers on a regular basis, gives an input into Finaccord's estimates for the market shares of underwriters of D&O insurance, provides a basis for commentary surrounding distribution channels used for this type of cover, informs observations concerning trends in claims by type of insured entity, and guides Finaccord's forecasts for the market value through to 2018.
