  6. The MGA System • In the good old days Insurance Companies had an in house sales force • Managing General Agency • Built to house many agents • Manages office, negotiates contracts • Can usually negotiate higher contract • Get an override on their agents • May be Captive Agents or Independents • Associate General Agency • Built to house many agents under an MGA • May have direct contracts • May act like a subsidiary of the MGA • Independent Agent

  7. How do we get Paid? • Insurance Companies pay based on first year premium plus a bonus (negotiated) • They pay the MGA, AGA or the Independent Agent Example: FYC = First Year Commission FYC = 40% of Annual Premium plus Bonus = Negotiated % times FYC So... Suppose an MGA has a contract: FYC + 180

  8. How do we get Paid? • FYC + 180 Annual Premium = $1000.00 FYC = $400.00 ($1000.00 times 40%) Bonus = $720.00 ($400.00 times 180%) Total Paid to MGA $400.00 + $720.00 = $1,120.00
