Climate change increasing frequency and severity of hurricanes and severe convective storms in Florida, potentially rendering traditional actuarial models inadequate and driving reinsurance costs beyond economically viable levels
Florida regulatory environment constraining rate adequacy through OIR approval delays or rate caps while loss costs inflate, compressing underwriting margins and potentially forcing market exits like other carriers
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation expansion as private market insurers exit Florida, creating adverse selection risk as Citizens retains higher-risk policies and potentially destabilizing private market through assessments
Larger national carriers (State Farm, Allstate, Progressive) with superior capital bases and diversified geographic portfolios can underprice Florida market during soft market cycles
Insurtech competitors leveraging advanced data analytics and digital distribution reducing customer acquisition costs and improving risk selection
Alternative risk transfer mechanisms (parametric insurance, catastrophe bonds) potentially disintermediating traditional reinsurance relationships
Catastrophic loss event exceeding reinsurance coverage limits could deplete surplus and require capital raise at dilutive terms (Florida hurricane exposure with estimated 1-in-100 year PML likely $300M-$500M range)
Reserve adequacy risk if loss development from prior accident years emerges unfavorably, particularly for non-catastrophe attritional losses
Investment portfolio duration mismatch or credit deterioration reducing asset values and liquidity during stress scenarios
