Benefits of Membership
There are many ways in which membership of ARC is a benefit and whilst the following is not exhaustive it should cover the main areas.
One of the London Market’s often quoted benefits is the close proximity of its constituents and the good relationships that they all have. This can often drift or become less of a priority when all or part of a business goes into legacy management and so one of our fundamental goals has always been to facilitate and encourage dialogue in our sector or, to put this more simply, to help those working in Legacy Management to get to know each other better. It is for this reason that we focus a large part of our activity on events that bring together individuals from as many sectors of the market as possible – companies, Lloyd’s agencies, lawyers, accountants, legacy business managers, actuaries scheme advisers and a whole host of small and large consultants. In this way those responsible for managing the liabilities can meet all of the service providers they are likely to need, build relationships and, with it, the trust that is required to enter into complex and often wide-ranging relationships.
To assist with this process and to facilitate appropriate dialogue and information dissemination we arrange the following;
- Market representation-being a part of the market body which promotes the interests of legacy professionals to other re/insurance sector bodies such as the ABI and CII
- A unified voice on key issues - being part of a body which represents members' concerns and views to government and regulators, lobbying for change as needed
- Cutting edge market intelligence - access to members' only ARC forums which discuss and debate topical issues with leading market practioners and regulators
- News, views and data - regular updates via market circulars, members' newsletter and the ARC website which provides key industry information and links
- Sector specific training -preferential pricing on ARC Academy training programmes designed for the needs of the legacy sector and fully CPD accredited by the CII
- Significant savings - specially negotiated discounts on a wide range of industry conferences, services and trade publications
- Annual ARC Congress - preferential pricing on one of the key events of the 'run-off' calendar
- Networking opportunities - preferential pricing and/or access to a wide range of events
