Aon's Renewal of Aon Client Treaty Expands Insurance Capacity
Read MoreHide Full Article
Aon plc (AON - Free Report) recently announced a record-breaking renewal of its Aon Client Treaty (ACT) for 2025. ACT is AON’s signature London Market placement facility, which aids clients in securing new sources of risk capital.
Now entering its 10th year, ACT will provide co-insurance of 28.5% of the business placed through Aon’s Global Broking Centre in London. This marks the largest capacity increase from 22.5% in 2024. Moreover, the treaty has added three new market partners, and all current participants have renewed their commitments.
ACT’s strength lies in streamlining insurance placements and aligning the interests of clients and insurers. This move bodes well for AON as it will attract and retain more clients as they get access to insurance faster for complicated risks through ACT. More clients should translate into top-line growth for an insurance broker like Aon, resulting in market leadership.
This milestone highlights Aon’s commitment to delivering innovative and scalable risk solutions. Since its launch in 2016, ACT has facilitated over $3.5 billion in gross written premiums, providing clients access to sustainable insurance capital. The addition of new insurers and retention of existing ones signals strong market confidence in ACT. QBE remains the lead insurer, ensuring stability and expertise.
AON is also introducing the ACT Client Dividend, which will enhance client value by applying a 1.5% premium reduction on policies placed through ACT, aligning financial benefits for clients and insurers. This move bodes well for AON as given the rising complexity of the risk landscape, it is becoming more important for clients to secure affordable and fast insurance capacity. AON expects to continue investing in managing information and data, leading to the success of ACT.
