Insurance broking revenues are defined as fees and commissions earned from any kind of insurance (or reinsurance) wherein the intermediary (brokerage / independent agency) acts in an advisory capacity for its customers and places risks with all or a broad range of carriers / underwriters in the relevant market either directly (on a retail basis) or indirectly via other intermediaries (on a wholesale basis).
Fees earned from alternative risk transfer (ART) activity such as the placement of risks with a captive carrier / underwriter, risk retention group (RRG) or insurance pool, or into an insurance-related security, are also classified here as insurance broking revenues, as are fees intrinsically related to core broking activity such as those earned from safety / risk / crisis management consulting, claims advocacy / claims management, premium finance, employee benefits / health / pensions / wellness consulting, associated data / actuarial analytics etc.
Fees and commissions earned from activity wherein the intermediary acts as a tied agent for a single (non-captive) carrier / underwriter or places risks with a limited panel of (non-captive) carriers / underwriters are NOT classified here as insurance broking.
