Weekly News Roundup – 12th August

Gallagher Re’s quarterly insurtech report warns there could be some difficulties ahead due to a shrinking market and a high level of redundancies. Despite an increase in funding in Q2, it is noticeably down from this time last year. In other news, we are excited to announce that one of the fantastic businesses we support, Companjon, have signed a major deal with neobank, Novus, to offer an embedded flight delay insurance offering to their customers. Finally, a number of first half results were released this week and most are looking pretty solid. Aviva, Axa, R&Q and Zurich (see below), amongst others, enjoyed a favourable first 6 months of the year.
