... , ' describing a sine-wave pattern of Commercial Lines premiums. From the looks of things lately, maybe we should call it a premium-hiccup cycle- long, low lines with occasional spikes. Will the entire Commercial field become niche-marketed? And can even the best service and good P/C pricing overcome a competitor who has a better answer on Workers' Compensation? Personal Lines Stability. Just when the private passenger auto market seems to have stabilized in most regions (apologies to our friends in southern California), now homeowners looks like a troubled line. And not only in windprone areas. Can we really continue to give that much coverage for a few hundred bucks? A little price firming in this line would not be unwelcome news to most agencies if it were smooth and stable. How likely ... properly capitalized, should be able to buy itself with its own resources and cash flow. But for a whole lot of reasons that go beyond the scope of this column, planning to sell 100% of the agency's value upon the retirement of the senior principal(s ) is usually a bad idea. I find that if the buying group' has the equivalent of at least a 30% equity position on the date of transfer, the plan will be manageable and prudent financially.

Barely seven months later, on April 13, 1991, the California Commissioner of Insurance seized the assets of Executive Life and forced the company into a seven-year rehabilitation that severely reduced benefits for millions of Life and annuity policyholders. Executive Life was the largest insurance company failure in U.S. history. Despite the financial harm to so many policyholders, many people in the Life insurance industry privately cheered the demise of the company that had caused them such distress. But when the New Jersey Commissioner of Insurance seized Mutual Benefit just three months later in July 1991, few were laughing. The collapse of Mutual Benefit, a 146-year Old Line Eastern Mutual, ' was an economic and public relations disaster for the industry. The financial and popular press had focused on the Life insurance industry, ... and — dare we say it — dull industry that began in the early 1700s. But by 1991, there was nothing dull about Life insurance! For all the pain, disappointment, and economic loss, policyholders were still covered by trillions of dollars of death benefits, and cash values totaled in the hundreds of billions. And new products were emerging: Universal Life, Current Assumption Whole Life, equity indexed products, and the current winner among consumers: Variable Universal Life. The next article will continue the saga of how the Life insurance industry has changed since the 1980s — and suggest some benefits and perils that our fast-paced and competitive global economy will probably experience.
