The Velocity Imperative
Operational Resilience and Agentic AI in the 2026 MGA Market
As the market softens and competition intensifies, MGA growth is increasingly constrained by operational capacity — not demand.
This report examines why submission intake has become the critical bottleneck for MGAs, and how leading teams are using Agentic AI to increase throughput, reduce decline rates, and respond faster to brokers without disrupting existing workflows.

The Operational Reality Facing MGAs in 2026
The U.S. MGA market has entered a new phase. After years of rapid expansion, growth is increasingly shaped by operational efficiency, underwriting discipline, and speed-to-quote — not demand alone.
As commercial markets soften and competition for broker submissions intensifies, many MGAs are discovering that their traditional operating model can’t keep up. Manual submission intake, document-heavy workflows, and human-intensive data entry have created a structural bottleneck that limits capacity and slows response times.
Industry analysis shows underwriters now spend 30–40% of their time on administrative work — an “Admin Tax” that directly impacts quote turnaround, broker responsiveness, and bind rates.
This report examines why submission intake has become the primary constraint on MGA performance, and how leading MGAs are addressing it. It explores the role of Agentic AI in automating submission triage and data preparation, and why a Zero Disruption approach — one that works inside existing email and underwriting workflows — is emerging as the most practical path forward.
