Summary: MGAs also have the agility to navigate a broad range of niche areas. In this episode, we discuss the headwinds currently facing the MGA market and how insurers may benefit from increased collaboration with this highly experienced community of professionals.
Quote: “All good MGAs recognise that the reason a balance sheet has been shared and the partnership is there is because the MGA’s team are experts in what they do. And frankly, why would [an insurer] want to build something themselves, if they’ve got complete confidence in deploying capital to a team who can demonstrate through data, expertise, experience, and distribution, and deliver underwriting profits that way?”
