Senior insurance executives faced with a "buy" or "sell" transaction need to understand what is the right price for the transaction. Executives also need to understand the financial strengths and weaknesses of potential acquisitions. The failure to properly price transactions or to recognize weaknesses in targets could jeopardize a company's surplus, its on-going profitability, and ratings.
