23 3. Advisors: What changed? In the career system advisors received support: Illustrations Admin Marketing and Sales Practice Management Financial Insurance companies stopped providing these services MGAs can fill the void ONLY IF they are equipped and financed to provide required support (many are not)
24 4.

25 Summary: Insurance distribution changes Unprecedented changes in: Method of distribution (shift from career to broker/mga, mutual to stock) Fewer companies in the marketplace Enabling technologies (easier to compare) Decreasing number of advisors and increasing age Emergence of MGAs as the largest distributor channel Increase in Direct Sales Regulatory environment
26 Current industry pressures
27 Current pressures: Regulatory Issues Changes to MGA Compliance Commission disclosure Embedded Commissions Fiduciary Duty CRM 2 Fintrac Ontario Bill 157
28 Current pressures: Regulatory Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators reviewing MGAs What is this entity? What do they do? How do they interact with consumers? Do they need regulation to protect consumers?
29 Current pressures: Regulatory Provincial Regulators reviewing MGA business Looking at sales practices, disclosure, potential conflicts and compensation Market Conduct audits required by all Carriers
30 Current pressures: Regulatory Worldwide regulation - disclosure and commission UK Australia US Where Canada is today on the disclosure issue
31 Current pressures: Regulatory Embedded Compensation Canadian regulators following international trends Embedded commissions in investments products banned in U.K. and Australia Canadian regulators discussing banning embedded commission in funds
32 Current pressures: Regulatory CRM 2 Started in July 2013 Phased in over 3 years
33 Current pressures: Regulatory Fiduciary duty under consideration for financial advisors Fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care in law It is a duty to act, first and foremost, in another person s best interest, without regard to one s own Professionals who are traditionally recognized as fiduciaries include lawyers, doctors and trustees
34 Current pressures: Regulatory New Fintrac and AML rules coming All Financial Institutions being viewed the same Require ongoing monitoring not just point of sale
35 Current pressures: Regulatory Ontario Bill 157 Bill recently introduced in Ontario to regulate financial planning Three key elements: 1. Advisors holding themselves out as planners must be registered with self regulatory body 2. A single system for complaints and discipline 3. A one stop reference check
36 Current pressures: Insurance Companies Stock (vs. Mutual) companies are motivated by profit Insurance companies pushing regulatory duties and supervision to MGAs Companies auditing MGAs and advisors for compliance Intense price competition among insurers creates cost/product pressures Prefer distribution costs to be variable Product re-pricing (possible withdrawals)
37 Current pressures: Competition Insurance and financial planning historically offered through insurance brokers Now increased competition from: Banks (retirement planning ads) Securities Firms (mostly owned by banks) Insurance company direct channels
38 Current pressures: Economic Low interest rates International Accounting Standards 2008 crash and enhanced regulatory sales scrutiny Results of these factors? Price increase on LCOI Some companies to withdraw from market Term policies continue to be very price competitive
39 What the future holds
40 Evolution towards the future Regulatory environment More regulation and more public scrutiny
41 Evolution towards the future Insurance companies Possible further consolidation Price pressures on term will continue LCOI products in state of flux with continued price increases, product withdrawals or adjustable products New products will be designed Guaranteed products have uncertain future
42 Evolution towards the future Distribution Continued growth of MGA network Changes in what MGAs do and how they interact with advisors A renewal of the career system?
43 What does this all mean to you?
44 Through change comes opportunity. It is a great time to re-evaluate your business and ensure that you are doing the right things with the right people.
