Subject: big brokers
One very intersting item popped up in our discussions. Marsh, and a few other mega brokers, are actually larger than many insurance companies. With their enormous size, these maga brokers could do almost anything they want in their relationships with carriers.
It was said that there had been a situation where some of the mega brokers had been involved in, if not had been totally behind, the creation of some offshore reinsurers. These reinsurers then put pressure on the carriers that the mega brokers were using. Does THAT sound like undue pressue and unfair competition?
