What are the Benefits of Program Business to Insurers?
Insurers will often delegate for attractive books of business where there is local geographic representation who bring distribution relationships and expertise.
In an interview with Insurance Journal, a senior executive from Aon Reinsurance Solutions recently stated that “After studying this over the last 7 or 8 years, the MGA Marketplace outperforms the general P&C industry by almost 10 points which is very significant these days.”. Being closer to customers with specialist expertise and profit commission incentives are the key sources of superior performance.
Insurers will outsource “factory” business to free up their time to focus on higher value risks.
Program business allows insurers to variabilize their cost structures and often delivers lower expense ratios particularly where insurers are based in high-cost locations and/or avoids the cost of new office setup and infrastructure. This is particularly important for smaller books of business.
When entering into a new market segment, Insurers have found it less risky and often less costly to provide capacity to an existing program than to set up anew – recruiting staff, setting up new offices and systems, etc.
