Our CEO Ian Lloyd was one of the leaders featured in Insurance Post’s MGA Forecast of 2026, sharing his views on where the sector is heading and what lies ahead for Iprism in the coming year.
As the market enters 2026, Ian noted an environment of real strength, with MGAs becoming ‘increasingly tech-enabled, trusted by carriers, and ready to scale.’ The MGA sector is well positioned for continued growth, through expanding capacity support and rapid progress in AI and automation. In 2026, Ian predicted ‘MGAs are set to lead innovation in underwriting and specialty lines.’
Despite the focus on technology, Ian’s priorities remain firmly people-led. When asked his main wish for 2026, he replied: ‘It would be happiness and good health for everyone at Iprism. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and their well-being drives our success.’ Looking ahead, he also emphasises a desire for continued sustainable growth, supported by brokers who value Iprism’s independent, owner-managed model.
People aren’t just at the centre of Iprism, they should lay at the centre of the whole insurance ecosystem, which would be the theme of Ian’s dream insurance conference: ‘Underwriting Unlocked: The Future of Effortless Insurance’. The conference would be set in Madrid, which Ian described as ‘a vibrant hub for innovation, collaboration, and inspiration, perfectly suited to host a forward-thinking insurance event.’
His market outlook for 2026 is confident: a strong MGA sector, meaningful technological progress, and a continued focus on people and partnership. To read his full answers, find the Insurance Post article here: https://www.postonline.co.uk/commercial/7959385/mga-forecast-of-2026?check_logged_in=1
