Aon Client Treaty Achieves Record Co-Insurance Capacity for 2025
Aon plc (NYSE: AON) has proudly announced a significant milestone regarding its flagship product, the Aon Client Treaty (ACT), achieving record-setting support as it enters its tenth year of operation. This innovative program continues to evolve, ensuring clients have the resources they need to navigate complex risk landscapes effectively.
Enhanced Co-Insurance Capacity
For the year 2025, ACT will now co-insure 28.5 percent of the business placed through Aon's Global Broking Centre. This increase from 22.5 percent in 2024 marks the largest expansion in capacity since the treaty's inception. Since its launch in 2016, over $3.5 billion in gross written premium has been successfully placed, highlighting the program’s growth trajectory and relevance in today’s insurance market.
New Market Partners and Strategic Intent
One of the driving factors behind ACT's success is its collaboration with market partners. For the upcoming year, three new market participants will join the treaty, while all existing partners have renewed their commitment, further strengthening Aon's position in the market. Notably, QBE will continue its role as a lead partner, showing confidence in this thriving initiative.
Introducing the ACT Client Dividend
In addition to its expanded capacity, Aon is introducing an innovative feature called the ACT Client Dividend. This initiative will provide clients with a 1.5 percent reduction on the portion of premiums placed through ACT, aligning Aon’s objectives with those of its clients, and fostering a mutually beneficial environment.
