InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant & Robin Merttens

Nick Wright: Chief Business Development Officer, Pen Underwriting: Every problem has a solution (163)


Listen Later

The Managing General Agent (MGA) model has become a successful way for many insurtech startups to establish themselves, but the subject of this week’s podcast is a bit different to other MGAs in the marketplace.

Pen Underwriting was created by bringing together 12 companies in 2014. Its work covers claims, pricing, and distribution with more than £650 million in gross written premium per year.

Chief Business Development Officer Nick Wright joins Matthew on Podcast 163 to explain how Pen Underwriting supports its partners and why investing in innovation is a key part of the company’s approach.

Talking points include:

  • Advantages of the MGA model
  • Creating products for insurer partners
  • Monitoring the market and looking outside of insurance
  • The growth of parametric and usage-based insurance
  • Using telematics to mitigate risk
  • More information on Pen Underwriting is available from the company’s InsTech London member profile page.
