Managing General Agents: A Guide to the Global MGA Landscape

The MGA landscape continues to evolve across jurisdictions, creating both commercial opportunities and regulatory challenges. MGAs now account for around USD 150 billion of global premium, yet the MGA structure is rarely recognised in regulation, so MGAs operate within a wide range of broader intermediary and delegated authority frameworks. An operating model that is straightforward in one market can require very different licensing, governance or contractual treatment in another.

Managing General Agents: A DLA Piper's Guide to the Global MGA Landscape, brings together market insight, thematic analysis and jurisdiction-specific guidance across 26 jurisdictions to help insurance businesses navigate the global MGA environment. It covers seven core topics in every market, licensing, passporting, ownership and control, InsurTech, product governance, premium handling and capital requirements, alongside broader thought leadership considering M&A, AI, and the regulatory landscape for MGAs.
