The launch of the Chartered Insurance Institute’s (CII) chartered title for managing general agents (MGAs) highlights an important step for firms keen to outwardly display their ethical commitments. Sector leaders say it could be a key development in attracting new talent into the industry.

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has launched the ‘chartered insurance underwriting agent’ title, a new chartered title for managing general agents (MGA), at Lloyd’s of London yesterday (March 2 February).
