While economic markers continue to produce mixed signals, M&A saw continued growth in Q2 relative to Q1 of 2022. Our results demonstrate continued strong demand for R&W with an increase in submissions and policies bound compared to the first quarter.
A Look at Our Numbers
While total submissions increased for the entire second quarter of 2022 relative to the first quarter of 2022, submissions have fallen behind last year’s pace. Compared to years prior to 2021, however, the amount of submissions and policies bound set the market on pace for its second biggest year ever. We credit this strong adoption of the product to efficient execution and proven claims-paying ability, even during a market where submission volume may be impacted by interest rate related financing concerns and ongoing geopolitical instability. The R&W market typically sees an increase in demand during the second half of the year, and we believe this could happen again as clients look to deploy the substantial capital at their disposal before the end of the fiscal year.
