Specializing In
The Art & Science Of Underwriting
The Risk Appraisal Forum was founded as a study group in 1976 by a group of Independent Life Brokerage Agency principals who all specialized in the art and science of impaired risk underwriting. Our mission is to build communication with Home Office Underwriters, Medical Directors and Reinsurers, and to discover advances in medicine and mortality improvements which can be applied within the life insurance underwriting process.
