5. Producer compensation

We distribute most of our insurance products through independent business people. We refer to them as “brokers”. In some states they are called “producers” or “agents”.

Brokers do not work for any particular insurance company. Brokers work for their clients. Typically, brokers have contracts with several different insurers. These contracts allow the brokers to submit their clients’ insurance applications to the insurer that has the most appropriate product for each client.

In keeping with the standard and historical practice of our industry, we pay commissions to brokers. These commissions are paid when insurance coverage is issued in response to applications the broker’s submit on behalf of their clients. Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the premium paid. Commissions paid during the first year coverage is in force are higher, and later year commissions are lower. On average, a broker will earn between 7% and 15% over the life of a typical insurance plan. If you keep your coverage longer than the typical insured, your broker’s commission will be a smaller percentage of premiums.

Now and then, we will offer financial incentives to brokers, paying them extra if they submit more applications. We also have some brokers (called “key brokers”) who regularly receive volume-based financial incentives.
