AIRMIC’s D&O benchmarking data

AIRMIC and Advisen, a supplier of benchmarking services, have produced detailed aggregate data of D&O insurance programmes purchased by risk managers. The survey shows that AIRMIC members are responding to an increasingly hostile shareholder litigation environment with substantial D&O programme limits: about 25% of companies that responded said they bought £100mn or more D&O coverage. Those with exposures in the USA took bigger lines on average than the others.
