1. The US Insurance Market
(Its all about efficiency and customer experience)
2. Proprietary & Confidential 2
With over $600B of Personal and Commercial GWP in the US the
market though dominated by large carriers is still highly fragmented
• Personal lines: Auto and Home account for over $300B in GWP
• All Lines: Top 25 carriers write approximately 65% of the GWP while the
Top 5 have 30% market share
• Commercial Lines: Top 5 carriers write over $60B in GWP
• Brokers are a major distribution channel especially in the mid, large and
global client placements (Aon, Marsh, WTW, AJG, etc)
• Brokers work with 100’s of carriers though concentration of premium is
with 20-30 carriers
• Industry needs vary but over the last few years Professional Liability for
Lawyers and D&O across the market has seen strong growth
3. Proprietary & Confidential 3
Carriers and distribution partners are seeking differentiation strategies
to provide value to insureds while maintaining profitable growth
INSURED BROKER / DISTRIBUTION INSURER
• Use analytics and insights to ensure “right”
amount of coverage and not paying for excess
coverage
• Look at captives and self insurance to drive
down premiums
• Invest in analytics to better target insureds
• Commercialize historical data by selling insights
to carriers
• Reduce operational costs by adopting
automation and AI
• Centralize via GBS non client facing functions
• Look to reduce broker commissions (pursuing
direct to customer strategies)
• Reduce cost to service claims
• Better claim fraud identification and
• subrogation processes
• Use automation / AI to streamline workflow
solutions
• Investment diversification to lower market
volatility
STRATEGY
• Seek appropriate coverage and competitive
price
• Require brokers to provide advice and
negotiate best terms and conditions
• Select carriers based on ratings and ability to
provide varied coverage needs
• Need carriers to pay claims quickly
• Tend to be sticky unless carrier messes up
• Get compensated for value (justify the 15%-
20% cost )
• Educate insureds on coverage needs and
emerging risks (-e.g., cyber)
• Utilize analytics to provide insights to both
insureds and insurers
• Simplify the transactional nature of the
business
• Reduce the number of carriers it works with to
get quotes
• Collaborate with carriers to grow new areas of
coverage
• Provide coverages that meet market need
• Have a focused appetite but willing to modify
based on market need
• Create a transparent experience for both
brokers and insureds
• Convert more profitable business
• Retain more of the business it wants to renew
• Use captives and reinsurers to smoothen
balance sheet exposure

claims

products)
