Producer Compensation

We distribute most of our insurance products through independent businesspeople. 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. If you keep your coverage longer than the typical insured, your broker’s commission will be a smaller percentage of premiums.

We do not currently allow brokers to collect any compensation from their clients. Commissions paid to brokers are a cost of doing business, and, thus, are one factor used to calculate premium rates. However, the amount that a particular broker is paid does not directly change the amount his clients pay for their insurance.
