Description

MGAs have become a major growth engine in the London market, attracting capital through specialist expertise, niche underwriting and flexible distribution models. But as conditions become more competitive, pressure is building around performance, governance, transparency and alignment with capacity providers.

This session will explore whether the MGA model is built for the next phase of the cycle, or whether a more demanding market will expose weaknesses in underwriting discipline, economics and long-term sustainability. From carrier relationships and data expectations to capital partnerships and growth strategies, panellists will examine what it now takes to succeed in the London market.
