The placement is the starting point, not the finish line
Commercial property insurance is increasingly split between risks that the domestic market can absorb efficiently and risks that require more deliberate structuring.
Clean assets with strong tenant covenants, current valuations and favourable claims history can still attract competitive domestic capacity. More challenged assets, including catastrophe-exposed locations, mixed-use precincts and portfolios with more complex risk profiles, are being assessed more selectively.
For larger or structured placements, local capacity may only form part of the solution. Engaging non-traditional insurers and specialty markets requires a clear risk narrative, credible disclosure and a program structure that gives insurers confidence to participate.
