Business Abroad: Insurance

Experience London, the hub of the insurance world, with a hands-on trip to Lloyd’s of London and to interact with insurance/reinsurance experts on the floor of Lloyd’s, participating with professionals in underwriting/assumption of risk. Tour the rest of the famous Lloyd’s building and participate in working luncheons with experts from London’s financial district. Learn the history of insurance, how insurance companies are chartered and regulated, how policies are written and interpreted, and the point of view of multinational entities in determining their insurance coverages. The first week of the course will be spent on the Ole Miss campus and the second week in London.
