P&C distribution is transforming from the inside-out as well as the outside-in. This means that traditional distribution – from insurers through agents/brokers – is evolving, while new distribution channels from outside the traditional partner ecosystem offer alternate channel opportunities for insurers. 

P&C Distribution (R)evolution: Blending Old and New Models explores eight types of distribution models, including variations for each and implications for different P&C lines of business. Prominent examples are included for each type of model. In addition, a section of the report covers how insurers are addressing channel conflict when they expand their channels.
