Underwriting Cycle The business cycle in the insurance sector. In the underwriting cycle, insurers compete with each other for clients, resulting in falling premiums and low underwriting standards. Insurers therefore write more policies than they can reasonably risk, which results in higher underwriting standards and premiums. Eventually, insurers write too few premiums to sustain and the cycle begins again. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
