About InsuraBeat

The daily pulse of the global insurance market.

A B2B newsroom built around one job: helping professionals understand how the insurance industry is moving — every day, across every region, with the rigour the work deserves.

Why InsuraBeat

Insurance moves fast. Most coverage doesn’t.

Capital is raised, regulators publish, executives move, claims spike, AI shifts the underwriting curve — and the people who run insurance read about it days late, scattered across a dozen sources.

InsuraBeat exists to fix that. We are a daily news service for insurance professionals — brokers, underwriters, executives, regulators, investors and insurtech operators — who need a single, structured read on what just happened and what it means.

No fluff, no generalist takes. Stories are short, sourced, and engineered to be filtered: every article is tagged across geography, line of business, market actor and topic, so you can drill from a global feed down to the slice that matters to you.

What we cover

Four axes. Every story crosses them.

Our newsroom is built around a fixed editorial matrix. Each story is filed under at least one term in each of the four axes below — so you can navigate by what matters to your desk.

01 Geography

North America, Europe, APAC, LATAM, MEA. Real-time coverage of regional regulators, market dynamics and currency-impacted financials.

02 Lines of business

Life & Health, Property & Casualty, Commercial, and Reinsurance. Pricing, capacity, combined ratios, treaty renewals and the lines moving fastest.

03 Players

Insurers, brokers, mutuals, insurtechs and regulators. Who is hiring, who is consolidating, who is exiting, and where capital is being deployed.

04 Topics

M&A, executive moves, innovation and compliance. The four cross-cutting beats that explain how the industry is restructuring itself.

How we work

Four publishing slots, aligned with the markets you watch.

InsuraBeat publishes on a US/Eastern editorial clock, with four daily slots that map to the moments insurance markets actually move — pre-open in Europe, the New York morning, the New York lunch, and the late-afternoon overlap with APAC.

  1. 08:00 ET
    European morning brief

    Overnight regulatory filings, EMEA earnings, treaty signals coming out of London and Paris.

  2. 10:00 ET
    Compliance & moves

    Regulatory action, executive appointments, governance shifts — picked up as US markets fully open.

  3. 13:00 ET
    Deal flow & underwriting

    M&A announcements, capital raises, capacity moves and underwriting performance updates.

  4. 15:00 ET
    APAC & insurtech

    Asia-Pacific opens, insurtech rounds, technology deployments — the late edition that bridges into Asia’s morning.

The Daily Beat newsletter wraps the four slots into a single morning email, in your inbox by 7:00 ET the following business day.

The newsroom

Industry hands, not generalists.

Our reporters come from inside the industry — broker desks, insurer underwriting teams, regulators and trade press. They know what a combined ratio, a quota share or a Solvency II SCR means before they file the first paragraph.

Editorial standards

How we write what we publish.

  • Source-led

    Every story is anchored in a primary source — a regulatory filing, an earnings release, a press statement, a court ruling, or named industry interviews. We disclose what we know and what we don’t.

  • Independence

    No paid placements, no sponsored stories. Sponsored content, when it appears, is clearly labelled and produced by a separate team.

  • Corrections

    We correct errors quickly, in place, and tell readers what changed. If the substance of a story shifts, we say so.

  • Plain English

    Insurance is full of acronyms; we use them where they help and define them where they don’t. The goal is clarity for a reader on a deadline, not jargon for its own sake.
