Managing General Agents (MGAs)
The MGA (managing general agent) segment is a fast-growing and integral part of the re/insurance ecosystem, with approximately $150 billion in gross written premium and outpacing overall industry growth. Momentum continues to build as the sector evolves, driven by demand for specialist expertise, agile distribution models and capital efficient growth.
MGAs are operating in an increasingly complex and competitive environment, shaped by evolving risk, heightened capital discipline, and rising expectations around performance and governance.
Aon’s MGA Solutions provides end-to-end support throughout the MGA lifecycle. We combine integrated advisory, reinsurance broking, advanced analytics and capital solutions to align capacity and risk appetite across MGAs, re/insurers and alternative capital providers.
