Insurance & Insurtech blogs and newsletters worth following, and what each is good for
These are the blogs and newsletters Briefwire has chosen to cover Insurance & Insurtech, each one fetched and checked before it is listed. Company engineering blogs, analyst newsletters and practitioner posts. The receipt is the post it was written in.
The list
In no ranked order. The note beside each says what it is good for, which is a different thing from how big it is.
Each note describes the publication in its own terms. Briefwire reads what these sources publish, in public, and nothing else.
Catastrophe bonds, ILS pricing and alternative reinsurance capital; the capacity signal.
Reinsurer results, renewal pricing and capacity shifts; dates the hard/soft market turn.

Daily cross-agency US insurance rulemaking, structured and primary.
Australia's prudential regulator publishing the quarterly general, life and health insurance performance statistics itself.
Canada's insurance and bank supervisor; recent items cover catastrophe bonds and technology risk expectations.
Disaster declarations and NFIP flood-map actions — the statutory event that starts a catastrophe loss cycle.
The dominant P&C core-system vendor on what carriers are actually migrating and why.

Carries the monthly catastrophe-loss release, which dates US personal-lines loss events before quarterly reporting.
A top-10 mutual on L&A results and executive succession; the mutual side of the market, which files no 10-Q.
The US independent-agent association's own programming — where distribution-side AI and AMS decisions surface first.
The CEO-level insurance think tank publishing its own research; the protection-gap arguments carriers later cite.
Risk-manager-facing reporting on casualty severity, nuclear verdicts and captive formation.
US broker and carrier daily including coverage-litigation outcomes and workers' comp rulings.

Long-running agent trade magazine on loss control and coverage disputes at the account level.
Bylined essays by named carrier and vendor executives arguing positions; full article text ships in the feed.
Auto physical-damage claims from the repair side — parts, labour rates and carrier steering disputes, which is where P&C severity actually moves.
The largest publicly traded P&C insurer's own releases — quarterly combined ratio and senior underwriting appointments.
How the list was made, and what we do with it
- Chosen by hand
- Every source is here because people who work in Insurance & Insurtech say substantive things on it, not because it is large. Enough of them to cover the field, few enough to audit.
- Checked before listing
- Each feed is fetched and checked when it is added and again whenever the library is re-checked by hand: one whose newest item is more than six months old fails, and one quiet for more than three is flagged but can stay listed. Every source is English-language and public.
- Read, so you need not
- You do not have to read all of them. Each new post is read, and the claims worth keeping are pulled out, each linked to the post it was written in.
- When it is read
- Briefwire reads a beat’s sources through the day while a trial or paid account tracks it. A beat nobody tracks may not be read at all, and its page shows the library, not a live feed.
- Sent as a brief
- The 12 lines that rank highest across the whole Insurance & Insurtech beat go out daily or weekly. A claim several independent sources made ranks higher — that counts agreement, not accuracy.
The blogs and newsletters are one part of the beat. Every Insurance & Insurtech source, all media — or just the podcasts.
