Over at PropertyCasualty360, Robert Regis Hyle discusses whether it's possible to compare the analysts who study our industry. He concludes that analysts tend to have complementary knowledge and insights. Hyle notes that in his role as a commentator he is probably exposed to a wider range of analysts than most.
He mentions - very sensibly - that one of the best ways to get the measure of an analyst is to listen to them at the ACORD LOMA conference. I'd endorse that, and add that you can also question analysts at the event.
The insurance industry is well served by dedicated analysts. They assist decision makers and they bring much needed perspective. All the analysts I know welcome being questioned. Dialog helps them stay relevant.
