OLDWICK, NJ--Dec. 6, 2013: More than 60% of auto insurance policies in the UK are purchased online, but not from insurance carriers. In less than a decade, insurance aggregators have become the dominant distribution channel for auto insurance in the UK. As aggregators are starting to establish a foothold in the US, will the market here follow a similar pattern?

“Top 10 Fastest Growing Companies in Insurance”

In a webinar, set for Tuesday, December 10, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time, a panel of experts will examine this topic and provide insight into questions such as:

What is an insurance aggregator vs. lead aggregator? What drove the phenomenal success of aggregators in the UK? Will structural differences hinder this channel in the US? How will the entry of aggregators alter the US distribution mix over the next decade? What should insurers and agents do to be on the forefront of these changes in auto insurance distribution?
