Top List Of Top Lists

We—and by “we” I mean humans—love lists. As intensely social, status-conscious animals, something buried deep in our DNA makes us relish rankings of the best and the biggest or the weakest and the worst.

We—and by “we” I mean humans—love lists. As intensely social, status-conscious animals, something buried deep in our DNA makes us relish rankings of the best and the biggest or the weakest and the worst.

And one of our industry’s most-anticipated lists is NU’s annual ranking of the P&C world’s largest players by premium volume (see page 14). It’s a data goldmine—pure, unadulterated catnip for fans of performance figures and telling statistics (and who, in the insurance field, doesn’t that describe?).

Compiling and analyzing the list is a herculean task, and I want to single out the efforts of our managing editor (and certified actuary) Susanne Sclafane, who has been buried in these numbers the past few weeks—and who only recently has emerged with these lists that boil down immense mountains of data into clear and concise intelligence about how our largest companies are doing.

To offer this list each year, we also depend mightily on our corporate sibling—the indefatigable number experts at Highline Data. It’s great to have friends like this in the family.
