Don't Put the Whole Programme on One Carrier: Insurer Panel Diversification as Risk Strategy in India 2026

When a corporate places its entire insurance programme with a single carrier, it concentrates counterparty risk however strong that carrier looks today. This piece sets out the mechanics of diversifying the security behind a programme: horizontal spread through co-insurance and vertical spread through layering, signing down an oversubscribed slip, fronting and captives, how to measure concentration by the largest single recovery, and why to look past carrier headcount to hidden correlation where insurers share a reinsurer or a catastrophe zone.

Risk-Based Capital Arrives in India 2026: Why Insurer Selection Is Now a Core Risk-Management Decision

The Indian general-insurance market is moving from a uniform solvency margin to a risk-based capital regime alongside Ind AS 117, and the transition will reshape which insurers hold which risks at what price. This piece sets out the selection machinery this calls for: a board-signed written security policy, a tiered approved-carrier panel, a weighted scorecard that scores security against price, defined monitoring triggers on each carrier's solvency trajectory, and a routing rule that sends each cover to the carrier capital-advantaged in that class.
