Adapting to the growth of broker-led digital facilities in the London market

Overcoming the commercial, operational and technology challenges of responding to new broker distribution models

Free to attend  |  Only 15 places

Overview

The growth of broker-led digital facilities and appetite-checking platforms is changing how business is distributed and placed in the London market. As major brokers invest in digital trading capabilities, carriers face increasing pressure to adapt or risk losing access to new business and established renewal relationships.

However, responding to these developments presents significant operational and technology challenges. Fragmented systems, manual workflows and inconsistent data make it difficult for carriers to connect with broker platforms, respond efficiently to appetite requests and manage their participation across multiple facilities. At the same time, insurers must ensure that greater automation does not compromise underwriting discipline, portfolio control or profitability.

Attend this breakfast briefing to explore how carriers can overcome these challenges, modernise their trading capabilities and respond effectively to the changing distribution landscape.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Overcoming the operational and technology barriers that prevent carriers from responding efficiently to broker-led digital appetite checks and facilities

  • Reducing the cost and complexity of connecting with multiple broker platforms while avoiding additional manual processes and fragmented workflows

  • Improving the quality, accessibility and consistency of underwriting data to enable faster appetite matching and more automated trading

  • Integrating digital facilities into existing underwriting systems and workflows without costly platform replacement or disruption to established operations

  • Balancing greater automation and speed of response with the underwriting controls, portfolio visibility and governance needed to protect profitability
