State of Program Business
Target Markets Announces 2nd Annual “State of Program Business†Research Project The initial “State of Program Business Study,†completed last year, pegged the size of the program business market at more than $17.5 billion in gross written premiums. The 2012 Study will be sponsored by Association Members Scottsdale Insurance Company and Western Heritage Insurance Company.
The study will be conducted by the research firm Advisen, and released at the Association’s 12th Annual Summit in October. Advisen will look at both Program Administrators and Program Insurance Carriers in their data gathering efforts. The objective of the research is to provide the program industry with information that documents trends in the size and dynamics in the program business market. The analysis will include a survey of program administrators and carriers. 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. Advisen’s data, analytics and news products offer its 100,000 commercial P&C customers insight into underwriting, marketing, brokering and purchasing commercial insurance. Advisen is also a member of TMPAA. Click Here to access the 2011 State of Program Business Study
