Panels. The Group develops panels of insurers in certain market segments. Participating insurers are reviewed on a variety of factors. Commission rates on panel placements may be higher than rates paid on business placed outside of the panel process. The Group discloses its commission rates to clients on quotes obtained through the panel process prior to binding the coverage. In some instances, insurers pay an administration fee to participate in the panel process. Your Group broker will provide you with additional information on The Group’s Panels upon request. In some territories outside of North America, The Group obtains brokerage on business where our client pays us a fee. Our intention is to seek remuneration for work that The Group carries out for all parties in the insurance transaction but for which The Group is not otherwise sufficiently compensated. Some examples of this are the vastly-increased cost of regulation, distribution and infrastructure costs. This brokerage that The Group receives is a set percentage and is not contingent on achieving any level of growth, retention or profit on the business concerned. You can choose to exclude your placements from being included in any of these carrier agreements.
