According to
Suncorp Commercial Insurance's count, the number of providers of financial lines cover has exploded from less than 10 to more than 40 in a relatively short period of time.
However, according to Suncorp's national manager professional & financial risk Edward Rawnsley, there is a risk many of these providers are unsustainable.
Rawnsley has suggested insurance broker customers could be left without financial lines cover because their insurer decides to refuse clients renewal or exits the market entirely due to poorer market conditions.
