Insurance survey: Methodology


We polled more than 400 risk managers, treasurers and chief financial officers at the top companies in 59 countries. We asked them to rank the best insurers and brokers and also the best companies providing alternative mechanisms for risk transfer.

Respondents to Euromoney’s Insurance survey are the direct buyers of insurance at major companies worldwide. The majority are risk managers. Other respondents included chief financial officers, insurance managers, heads of treasury and vice-presidents. The survey was divided into four parts.

In the first part, after providing our researchers with information on their two main forms of insurance coverage, respondents gave their opinion of the company from which they purchased this insurance and were asked to give their reasons. These are elaborated in our result statistics.

For the second part, they were asked to name first and second choices for insurance companies in categories of price, product range, claims resolution and product innovation.

The third part focused on insurance brokers. Here our select group of respondents named the first and second best brokers, in their experience, for efficiency and the ability to negotiate favourable contract terms.
