AMRAE 2026: Verlingue, a major partner in risk management

At the 33rd AMRAE Risk Management Conference, held in Deauville from 4 to 6 February 2026, Verlingue, a subsidiary of the Adelaïde Group, presents the key pillars of its development strategy and reaffirms its positioning as a leading advisory broker for businesses.

In a P&C insurance market undergoing a rebalancing phase, companies expect stronger advisory capabilities—particularly on international issues—greater day‑to‑day proximity with technical teams, and digital tools to ease the management and steering of their prevention and risk‑coverage programmes.

To address the increasing complexity of insurance programmes for large corporates, Verlingue now relies on a comprehensive range of solutions and expertise covering all P&C lines, with proven access to specialist markets, including Lloyd’s.

This approach is enhanced by decision‑support and risk‑management tools tailored to the requirements of this segment (CatNet, Citalid, Pulse), along with strengthened actuarial capabilities. Verlingue also supports clients across the full spectrum of alternative risk‑financing vehicles, including structured self‑insurance (captives, virtual captives, multi‑year programmes), parametric solutions, and, where appropriate, securitisation schemes.

In a context of increasing deployment of international programmes, the Adelaïde Group’s network is a key asset to ensure consistency and global steering of coverage.

These developments further strengthen Verlingue’s credibility in the large‑corporate segment, supported by several major achievements, including with listed groups.

Expert teams closely aligned with operational realities

Certain expert areas are experiencing particularly strong growth, directly linked to evolving business needs. This is notably the case for the construction segment, which is in hyper‑growth (up more than 25%), characterised by high conversion rates and robust market appetite.

The motor fleet segment also remains an area of excellence, with more than 300,000 vehicles managed. Verlingue continues to demonstrate its ability to place complex cases, particularly in public passenger transport, confirming the strength of its placement solutions.

Prevention—whose scope continues to expand in response to emerging risks and growing corporate expectations—remains a key differentiator in Verlingue’s value proposition, with its expertise widely recognised across the market.

In line with its long‑term vision, Verlingue continues to invest in skills development, supporting employees throughout their career paths via Adelaïde University, and in digital solutions designed to simplify risk management and enhance the client experience.

Examples include the new version of the Easy@ccess Auto platform, available since early February 2026 and set to evolve further, as well as ongoing work on the driver experience, including the future overhaul of the Mobil@ccess mobile app. On the cost‑optimisation and performance front, a new vehicle return solution also strengthens Verlingue’s service offering.

For multinational companies, Verlingue now provides a centralised steering tool for international insurance programmes, enabling simplified, consistent and effective global risk management.

In 2026, Verlingue also intends to continue the operational implementation of its Better Future 28 strategic plan by reinforcing its commercial momentum and evolving its offerings in line with contemporary risk‑management challenges. Verlingue is now structuring its recognised expertise into sector‑based divisions to improve the clarity of its offering and the efficiency of its placement capabilities.

Four priority sectors have been established: Construction & Public Works / Renewable Energy, Life Sciences, Healthcare & Social Services, and Agri‑food. These are supported by dedicated teams, tailored service offerings and optimised placement frameworks.

After several years of pressure, the non‑life insurance market eased in 2025, prompting many companies to put their insurance programmes back out to tender. In this more competitive environment, Verlingue reports a retention rate of 97%, reflecting strong client relationships and long‑term recognised support.

The strategy to strengthen advisory capabilities, initiated three years ago, has resulted in a record level of new‑client acquisitions, driven by all regions and all insurance lines.

The recent appointment of Benjamin Verlingue, CEO of the Adelaïde Group, as Treasurer of the international WBN network also enhances Verlingue’s global visibility and illustrates the recognition of its expertise, particularly in P&C insurance.

Workshop – Thursday 5 February, 14:30 – 16:00 – Gatsby Room

What impact does the use of “alternative data” have on risk quantification?

• In a context of heightened geopolitical tensions, health crises and natural disasters, companies must rethink how they quantify and manage risks, particularly regarding global supply chains.
