Competitive Moat

The company has established long-term relationships with brokers and clients, creating high switching costs for its customers. Over the next 5-10 years, this advantage is likely to endure, although the emergence of insurtech competitors poses a threat to traditional models. The top competitive threats include companies leveraging technology for streamlined underwriting processes and lower-cost structures.
