Predict. Protect. Perform. The New Data Advantage for MGAs
23rd June 2026 • 13.00 - 14.00
About this session
As expectations on MGA’s continue to rise, Predictive Modelling and Data Analytics are becoming critical to performance, governance and confidence. This session explores how MGA’s can use data to forecast risk and opportunity earlier, protect their businesses through stronger professional optics and defensible decision‑making, and perform more effectively across underwriting and claims. Focusing on practical, proportionate use of analytics rather than technology for its own sake, the webinar will highlight how better insight supports improved loss ratio, faster decision-making, stronger delegated authority relationships and improved capital control.
Data-driven insight is the future of claims performance and this session is about leveraging it as a fundamental component of common pitfalls to avoid, and pragmatic steps to build a sustainable data advantage.
