Best’s Market Segment Report: AM Best Explores Growth Potential for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises in Europe

Delegated underwriting authority enterprises (DUAEs) are playing an increasingly significant role in insurance markets across Europe. However, in the face of hard market conditions, they are under more pressure to demonstrate their value to carriers, according to a new report from AM Best.

In its new Best’s Market Segment Report, “Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises: Scope for Growth Across Europe”, AM Best notes that the role of delegated underwriting authority enterprises (DUAEs) in insurance distribution in Europe has expanded in recent years, underpinned by a combination of underwriting expertise, technology and a broader range of capacity providers.

The report analyses the value proposition of DUAEs for carriers and looks at where the structures have flourished so far in Europe, and where and how they might expand in the future.

It also examines the economic headwinds, including an inflationary environment, that may present a near-term challenge for DUAEs, business partners and insureds.
