A one day master-class for experienced insurance analysts offering an insight into the causes and early warning signals of credit deterioration and failure in property and casualty (non-life), life and reinsurance companies. The workshop reviews both local and international cases of credit distress or failure to identify common themes and financial, non-financial and market indicators of deterioration. This workshop can be combined with the one day EWS in Financial Institutions (covering banks, broker dealers and finance companies).

The workshop is targeted at an advanced level for experienced credit risk managers and fixed income investors who are already familiar with the key analytic tools for analysing insurance companies.

The workshop aims to cover a wide variety of troubled institutions in short case studies. For analysts seeking a more in depth overview of how to analyse insurance companies, we recommend our introductory and intermediate level workshops: Introduction to Insurance Financial Statements and Insurance Company Analysis.

FitchTraining offers programmes at an intermediate level and advanced level of continuing education. Although no prerequisite courses or experience is required to participate in this programme, working knowledge of financial statement analysis is required, as well as prior knowledge of the programme topic.
