Stand up and be counted!

If you are an MGA/AGA who supports independence, click here to download the IFB 'Declaration of Independence'. Return your signed Declaration to IFB to be listed on this webpage.

The following MGA/AGAs have proudly and publicly declared themselvesto be 'Independence Friendly', and have signed the IFB 'Declaration of Independence', which reads:

All brokers who hold a contract with this agency can do so with the knowledge that it supports an independent broker's right to hold contracts with any other MGA/AGA that he/she deems appropriate, and to place life insurance business through the MGA/AGA of his/her choosing. By signing the 'Declaration of Independence' and declaring itself 'Independence Friendly', the MGA/AGAs listed below assert that they:

  • Offer an environment in which independent brokers can source the products and services most appropriate for his/her clients free from undue pressure or influence.
  • Allow their contracted brokers to take Errors and Omissions coverage through the supplier of his/her choosing.
  • Do not now have in place, nor do they contemplate introducing in future, a policy which would restrict the independence of brokers who place business through it.

The MGA/AGAs listed below further certify that, should a 'captive broker' policy be contemplated in future, these MGA/AGAs will provide its brokers with a minimum of six (6) months notice of this intention and vow not to impede any broker who then chooses to move his/her business elsewhere as a result of such a policy.
