Insurance Business has revealed the results of its second annual Brokers on Underwriting Agencies survey.

The survey asked Australian brokers to rate the top three agencies they have worked with in the past 12 months across 11 areas of specialisation.

The 409 survey respondents were also asked to rate the most important criteria when choosing an underwriting agency - with coverage and new business turnaround times being rated the most important, while commission structures and premium stability were deemed less important.

This year, Insurance Business added five more areas of specialisation to provide more underwriting agencies with the recognition they deserve for their hard work.

The full report is available in issue 5.6 of Insurance Business magazine out now.
