Consultant Offers Insurance Carrier Data
Reports from Clark Consulting, Inc., provide clients a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of insurance carriers.
Reported by
Fred Schneyer
The quarterly reports are available now through the company’s consultants and provide in-depth data on carriers and statistics in a number of different categories, the company said.
The reports will visually present data trends, levels, and other financial information about the carrier, as well as summarize the company’s ratings from such firms as Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.
“We’ve constructed these reports to provide a useful review of the carrier based on consistent data points,” said Anthony Laudato, vice president of Product Development and Innovation. “The carrier reports will provide the kind of information needed by clients to make informed decisions about the majority of insurance companies serving Clark Consulting.”
