Swiss Re is opening access to its proprietary Life Guide underwriting manual to all life and health insurers for 90 days, in a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Life Guide is designed to help users understand risks and how they interact with each other.
The underwriting manual includes the ability to reference new, first-time guidance to help insurers begin to address the emerging risks associated with COVID-19 alongside other commonly searched risk factors such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
“These are unprecedented times and uncharted waters for life and health insurers, and we recognize the urgent need and value to share our expertise beyond our existing base of registered users,“ said Paul Murray, Head of L&H Products for Swiss Re.
“Our priority is to use our experience, leadership and perspective to help insurers continue to write sustainable business and preserve the ability to deliver on those promises.“
Swiss Re hopes this will help life and health insurers navigate today’s crisis, better understand all risks they underwrite and give them confidence in offering coverage.
