It’s an interesting time for personal lines carriers. They are both building on their strong foundations and partnerships while also adapting to a quickly evolving market. The increase in direct placement and comparative raters along with new market entrants such as InsurTechs means that personal lines carriers need to be continually evaluating their current and future channel partnerships.
This SMA report begins by examining the current distribution channel landscape and explores how personal lines carriers are currently partnering with InsurTechs. The report then examines insurers expectations for distribution changes over the next five years, their channel expansion plans and the role comparative raters, InsurTechs, and personal lines agents will continue to play.
