- Flagship facility will grow to co-insure 28.5 percent of business placed by Aon's Global Broking Centre, a record increase as it enters its tenth year
- Renewal includes three-year letter of intent from market partners and introduction of "ACT Client Dividend" — two landmark client features
LONDON, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the successful renewal and expansion of the Aon Client Treaty (ACT). ACT is the firm's signature London Market placement facility that helps clients respond to complexity with new sources of capital.
In 2025 – the treaty's tenth year offering innovative, sustainable capacity to clients – ACT will offer 28.5 percent co-insurance across core lines of business placed through Aon's Global Broking Centre in London. This is the treaty's largest capacity increase, up from 22.5 percent in 2024. Since inception in 2016, over $3.5bn in gross written premium has been placed through ACT.
ACT clients will benefit from increased capacity with three new market partners joining ACT in 2025; all existing market partners have also renewed their participation, with QBE continuing as the lead. Additionally, all participating market partners have agreed to a three-year letter of intent, indicating their long-term intent to support the program and demonstrating strong demand from London Market insurers.
Aligning benefits between clients and market partners is foundational to ACT's long-term success, and to further support this, Aon is introducing the ACT Client Dividend in 2025, which is a 1.5 percent reduction applied to the portion of the premium placed through ACT.
Joe Peiser, CEO of Commercial Risk for Aon, said: "The renewal and record expansion of Aon Client Treaty, now in its tenth year, reflects the value it delivers for both clients and participating market partners. As the complexity and size of the risk landscape increases, it is essential that our clients access the insurance capacity they need with speed and certainty."
Tracy-Lee Kus, CEO of Aon's Global Broking Centre, commented: "Innovation is essential to allow clients to access risk capital more efficiently and Aon's significant investment in managing data and information has been a key factor in the growth and sustainability of ACT. We will continue to invest and scale this revolutionary approach to securing risk capital on behalf of our clients.
"The support of market partners, now further strengthened through a three-year letter of intent, is essential to the success of ACT; we are pleased to welcome three new participants and will continue to work closely with our partners to ensure ACT remains a solution that meets the needs of our clients," Kus continued.
