HARTFORD, Conn., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2023, premium produced
by Managing General Agents ("MGA(s)") continued to grow more
rapidly than the property casualty market overall, continuing the
significant growth trend experienced over the last two years. The
estimated MGA premium written by U.S. insurance companies grew by
13%, while total property-casualty premium grew at
10%. Conning estimates that the total U.S. MGA market,
including business written for the account of Lloyd's syndicates,
exceeded $102 billion in direct
premiums written in 2023.
"MGAs' success hinges on a combination of talent, technology,
capital and market conditions. In 2023, these factors converged,
driving sustained growth and resilience, and paving the way for
further sector expansion," said Lauryn
Kothavale, a Vice President for Insurance Research at
Conning.
By Conning's calculation, fronting companies accounted for more
than $14 billion in premium written
by MGAs in 2023, an increase of 27% over the previous year.
Approximately 17% of total MGA premium is now supported by fronting
companies, a share that has more than tripled since 2020.
Growth within the Lloyd's market – historically, and still
today, the largest single source of capacity for U.S. MGAs – did
not experience substantial growth and experienced stagnation.
Lloyd's syndicates grew their U.S. binder business by just 1% to
$7.5 billion in 2023.

Pack" details MGA marketplace dynamics, trends, participants,
