Benefits broker compensation rankings: Gallagher wins decade but Lockton surges clear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades, the question of which firm truly dominates American benefits brokerage has been answered with marketing. League tables built from self-reported revenue. Rankings that mix property-casualty with benefits. Surveys that count whoever answered the phone. The federal government, it turns out, has been keeping score the whole time. Every year, employers sponsoring large benefit plans must tell the US Department of Labor (DOL) exactly which brokers they paid and how much; a legally require
Report: The quiet death of the commission model (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody has declared the broker commission dead, because on paper it looks healthier than ever. Across US employer group benefit plans, the commissions paid to brokers grew from about $4.35 billion in 2015 to $6.49 billion in 2024, according to KMBI's analysis of Department of Labor Form 5500 and Schedule A filings.

The two firms confirmed the agreement on Monday, ending days of speculation after the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that a deal was close. On a net basis, after accounting for roughly $278 million in tax attributes,
AI in group benefits is a trust problem, not a technology problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new study from Prudential Financial lays bare a striking disconnect at the heart of AI adoption in the American workplace: 83% of employers want to use artificial intelligence for benefits guidance, but only 58% of employees say they would actually use it. But don’t blame the tech. Scott Roth, vice president and chief technology officer of Prudential Group Insurance, told Insurance Business America that something else is creating the gap. "Our research suggests this is less a technology adopti
