Our Vision
The Financial Lines Forum was founded by the founding partners of Haefeli & Schroeder Financial Lines AG. Markus Haefeli and Peter Schroeder have a unique experience as specialist brokerage company for Financial Lines in Switzerland and, prior to that, a longtime professional background as managers in Financial Lines insurance at leading insurance companies.
The vision of the Financial Lines Forum is to support Financial Lines knowledge, to make it tangible for all participants and to provide a platform for personal exchange and professional development. The conference takes place annually.
Why a conference focused on Financial Lines?
- Financial Lines risks and insurances are of strategic importance to companies. FL insurance is complex and subject to constant change.
- The regulatory environment and thus the requirements for the relevant insurance contracts are becoming stricter – the claims, including those arising from incorrect advice, have increased significantly.
- In times when companies are increasingly faced with liability claims and internal and external attacks (e.g. embezzlement, cyber), this is an unnecessary risk for those responsible. Good advice requires expert knowledge.
