In case you missed it, our associate director Pamela G. and consultant Szymon B., were recently featured in Insurance Post, discussing the pathway forward after the FCA’s fair value review. For insurance firms, this marks a critical inflection point. While many firms have established formal structures to ensure compliance, a closer examination reveals a troubling disconnect between intention and execution.   If you require our expertise to ensure compliance with the FCA’s requirements, message our page today to see how we can help.

We couldn’t agree more with this article in Insurance Times about the #MGA market’s continued growth! The article references that MGAs were once seen as a “specialist addition to the marketplace” with insurers “hesitant to hand over capacity”, but have now become the latest must-have for insurers. The opinion is that MGAs, when run well, can become a widely valuable asset for owners and capacity providers, while also serving their clients better than insurers can, in many cases. At DA Strategy, we accelerate MGAs, with a keen focus on speed to market! To find out how we can help your MGA thrive contact Charles and Kajal.
