From Canvas To Claim: An Introduction To Art For The Insurance Market

From Canvas To Claim: An Introduction To Art For The Insurance Market
When disaster strikes, policyholders are likely to turn to their broker and/or insurer for a solution – whether
that’s a like-for-like replacement, something similar, a repair or simply a cash payout.
Who are the buyers of art – why and where do they buy, and is it a growing market? What should a broker
or insurer bear in mind when putting a policy in place? For how much should it be insured? And what can
a policyholder do proactively to manage their risk?
Who is it for?
This webinar is for:
- Brokers and insurers who insure art for private and commercial clients, along with other asset
classes (such as jewellery, watches and antiques)
- Claims handlers and loss adjusters who want to understand what to look for in, and risks around,
valuations with which they may be presented
- Compliance teams considering how to ensure clients and policyholders get the information they
need to make informed decisions, and that they are treated fairly
Learning objectives
By the end of the webinar, you will:
- Know who buys art and why, where they buy from, where they are geographically, size of market
- Have a basic understanding of di􀆯erent kinds of art (including NFT’s)
- Know why values can fluctuate inc. death of artist, geopolitics
- Be able to identify the key risks art collections can face
