AM Best to Discuss MGAs and MGUs at the Hudson Insurance Federation of New Jersey Event

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best’s Greg Williams will discuss the Best’s Performance Assessment for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAE) at the Hudson Insurance Federation of New Jersey’s (HIF) virtual event on June 29 at 5 p.m. (EDT). Williams, a senior director of analytics, will join Greg Lang, founder of the Reinsurance and Insurance Network, for a panel discussion titled, “What’s Next for MGAs and MGUs?”

AM Best defines DUAE as a blanket term to capture managing general agents, managing general underwriters, coverholders, program administrators, program underwriters, underwriting agencies, direct authorizations and appointed representatives. AM Best introduced a draft methodology in March for the Best’s Performance Assessment (PA), which provides a framework for differentiating among DUAEs in the insurance industry. The Best’s PA is a forward-looking, independent and objective non-credit opinion.
