Aon executives said insurance markets are repricing across marine, energy, aviation, property, political risk and cyber lines as the Iran conflict unfolds.

S&P Global Market Intelligence reported that the U.S. P/C industry’s combined ratio hit just under 93 in 2025 — the best in 19 years — driven by a benign hurricane season, favorable reserve development, and strong personal auto results.

Panelists at the CICA conference said companies are increasingly moving property risks into captive structures to close coverage gaps in commercial policies and gain direct control over risk decisions.
