“State of the Industry”
Program Business Study The Target Markets Program Administrators Association will begin ground-breaking research to document the size, characteristics, and growth of the program business market.
Argo Group International Holdings Ltd. is sponsoring the research effort. Argo Group, a carrier member of TMPAA, is an international underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products in areas of the property and casualty markets. It operates niche insurance programs in the United States through its Commercial Specialty business segment.
The objective of the research is to provide the industry with information that documents the size, dynamics and trends in the program business market. The analysis will begin with a survey of program administrators, carriers and managing general agents. Additional data and information will be drawn from the Advisen databases of retail brokers, managing general agents and underwriters and wholesale brokers. The research will also leverage Advisen data on policies, premiums, coverage and losses. For additional information about this study, contact the TMPAA at 877-347-5700.
