SNL Insurance Acquires RateFilings.com
Expands competitive intelligence solutions for Property & Casualty and Life &
Health insurance companies and their investors/advisers
Charlottesville, VA. (April 16, 2015) –Announced today, SNL Insurance, a division of SNL, has
acquired RateFilings.com, a division of Perr&Knight, the market leader in providing competitor rate,
rule and form filings to Property & Casualty and Life & Health insurance companies for over 20
years. This combination reflects SNL’s continuing goal to provide a more accurate view of industry
trends and actionable insight into company and competitor business strategy and performance.
“This new acquisition will allow SNL to combine RateFilings.com’s industry leading content and
expertise with SNL’s best-in-class competitive intelligence workflow tools and derivative industry
content,” noted Jon Wright, SNL Financial’s Director of Insurance. “We plan on transforming a
business intelligence tool primarily used by insurance product managers and actuaries to a resource
for anyone who invests in, advises or transacts business with insurers.”
SNL Insurance clients will have the option to add the SNL RateFilings.com database product to their
current subscription at a preferred rate. Using RateFilings.com’s “RateWatch” and “Manual Library”
applications, SNL clients can gain a 360° view of the industry and their competitors for insights
needed to capture, service and retain clients more effectively while maximizing returns.
“We are excited about this new business relationship with SNL, not only as a new client but as an
adviser for new product development,” remarked Tim Perr, Cofounder and CEO of Perr&Knight. “The
scalable infrastructure of SNL along with the content of RateFilings.com will allow for customers like us
to quickly and easily obtain the most comprehensive view of the insurance marketplace.”
