Alexis Muench, PhD, CFO of Mutual Capital Group and President of Mutual Capital Services

Moderator: Clifford Cohen. Business Development Director, EPOQ

As mutual insurers face unprecedented changes in technology, customer expectations, and global challenges like inflation and a hardened reinsurance market, the ability to innovate while preserving core cooperative values becomes crucial. This panel discussion will explore how mutuals can successfully embrace digital transformation and address emerging risks while staying true to their foundational principles of member-focused service and community support.

Drawing from real-world examples the panelists will share insights on maintaining the "mutual difference" in an increasingly complex business environment.

The cost of weather disasters continues to rise due to factors such as macroeconomics, population migration patterns, and the built environment. But we must recognize that as the atmosphere and the oceans continue to warm, this is driving more volatile weather patterns and behavior that bring more unusual or unexpected events. This session will take a look at the science of what is driving these extreme weather events, plus focus on the background tools and datasets used for companies to better understand their view of risk.

Moderator: Kasey Ketcham, VP of Strategic Growth Solutions, HSB

The convergence of IoT and emerging technologies is transforming the insurance industry—delivering real-time data and actionable insights that are reshaping how carriers manage risk and engage with customers. As technology continues to evolve, insurers are leveraging these tools to detect emerging threats, personalize the policyholder experience, and enable proactive risk prevention. This session will examine the strategic role of IoT in insurance and share real-world learnings and outcomes through the lens of insurers and service providers.

9:45 - 10:45 a.m. General Session: Investments & Inflation

Christopher Ware, CFA, NEAM

After decades of broadly declining inflation and interest rates, inflation re-emerged post-pandemic, driven by supply chain disruptions, stimulative fiscal and monetary policy, and a tight labor market. The result was the worst US bond market performance on record in 2022. Although inflation has since moderated, interest rates remain elevated, and potentially inflationary risks including persistent federal deficits, de-globalization, and tariffs continue to shape the investment landscape. This session will examine the evolving macroeconomic environment and its implications for mutual insurer portfolios.

10:45 - 11:00 a.m. Break

11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. General Session: Consolidation of Agencies

Brian Refici, Marshberry

As M&A activity continues to reshape the insurance distribution landscape, mutual carriers face growing challenges in maintaining market access and influence. This session explores the implications of agency consolidation—from the rise of centralized, PE-backed giants to the evolving dynamics of carrier evaluation and decision-making. Attendees will gain insights into how mutuals can adapt their distribution strategies, better understand the motivations behind consolidation, and anticipate what the next 5+ years may bring.
