FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLDWICK - APRIL 25, 2022 08:07 AM (EDT)
AM Best Senior Director Greg Williams will discuss the growing role of Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAE) in the insurance industry during Insurtech Summit 2022, a two-day virtual conference being presented by Carrier Management on May 10-11, 2022.

Williams’ discussion with Carrier Management’s deputy editor and event host Elizabeth Blosfield will take place at 1 p.m. (EDT) on Tuesday, May 10.

Earlier this year, AM Best introduced its Best’s Performance Assessment (Best’s PA), which provides a framework for differentiating among DUAEs. AM Best defines DUAEs as a blanket term to capture managing general agents, managing general underwriters, coverholders, program administrators, program underwriters, underwriting agencies, direct authorizations and appointed representatives.

Williams oversees a team of analysts responsible for monitoring and evaluating companies that have been assigned a Best’s PA, in addition to evaluating the financial performance of insurers in the personal lines, commercial lines and life/annuity segments in the United States and Canada.
