There is a growing concern in the industry that personal lines insurance is becoming commoditized
Boston, MA (Jan. 14, 2021) – Personal lines insurance is perhaps the most important coverage that agents can offer since it protects assets that are closest to clients’ hearts. Even though the opportunity to distribute personal lines insurance through independent agents is far less than it used to be, independent agents are still a substantial distribution channel that merits attention from carriers. Moreover, it is very possible that these agents will regain some relevance if consumers’ coverage needs shift and become more complicated.
This report attempts to provide clarity on agents’ priorities when placing business, carriers’ performance in the eyes of these agents, and the influence of carrier performance on business placements. Aite Group, with the assistance of Competiscan, surveyed a group of 61 independent and captive personal lines (auto and homeowners) insurance agents in the United States from March 2020 to May 2020.
