US E&S market posts 7th straight year of double-digit growth: Fitch

Fitch’s review shows the E&S segment sustained double-digit premium growth through 2024. Drivers include social inflation, CAT volatility and emerging risks. Captives benefit by absorbing higher retentions and structuring facultative/XS placements. Pricing discipline remains key to avoid anti-selection. Expect continued captive-E&S interplay in 2025–26 renewals. Source: Captive.com #Actomate #US #MarketDynamics #CaptiveStrategy #RiskManagement
