Dedicated MGA Program Solutions

  • Focused Expertise

    GC Access is a best-in-class solution dedicated to the growth of the program segment. You'll be serviced by an organization that is completely focused on your space.

  • Dedicated Analytical Capabilities

    MGA analytics tends to be less catastrophe and more predictive loss and actuarial modeling focused. GC Access’ dedicated analytics team will provide unique tools to inform your decision-making.

  • Embedded Contract Support

    MGA contracts are different than those of our other clients: they tend to reflect closer to insurance than reinsurance contracts. A dedicated BSS team in conjunction with program specific brokers enables us to offer best-in-class contract support.

  • Unparalleled Depth of Relationships

    GC Access has unparalleled relationships in the program space, including MGAs, carriers, reinsurers, TPAs, etc. The team is able to use these relationships to best connect MGAs with the resources they need most.

  • Integration Across the Company

    GC Access is not location dependent, but rather connected across the US and UK. An integrated offering ensures the best equipped team to handle any solution. It will also ensure a standardized, consistent vetting process.
  • "GC Access truly represents the scale and scope of capabilities and expertise that Guy Carpenter can bring.
