HNW Forum 2019: Hardening market an opportunity for brokers

Golden Opportunity

Panellists discuss decreasing capacity in the market, the impact of consolidation and the HNW client of the future.

The hardening high net worth (HNW) market is an opportunity for brokers to prove their value, according to experts speaking at Insurance Age’s HNW Forum.

During a panel session, David Foster, director – private client division at Aston Lark, stated that there is less capacity in the sector after players such as MS Amlin and Dual have reduced the amount of business they write.

“In the past someone would have stepped in to take over that business but that’s not happening now,” he added.
