The consolidation of independent agents and brokers is concentrating revenue and increasing their bargaining power. This pressures The Hartford to invest in digital tools, data analytics, and differentiated services to maintain its position and influence with these key distribution partners.
Filing excerpt
In the United States, independent agents, brokers and wholesalers are consolidating. While acquisition activity has slowed, we continue to expect large deals by well positioned companies. This will likely result in a larger proportion of written premium being concentrated among fewer agents, brokers and wholesalers.
