CISRO Principles of Conduct for Insurance Intermediaries
In Canada, insurance intermediaries are subject to a common set of regulatory standards Published by CISRO.
The Principles are described to ensure fair treatment of customers.
Disclosure of Insurance Commissions and Contingent Earnings
Commissions:
The following ranges apply to both new and renewal policies
– Auto Insurance – 5% to 12.5% of premium
– Property Insurance, Personal & Commercial – 12.5% – 20% of premium
Contingent Income:
In order to do long term, stable business with the insurers marked above (*), we endeavor to place insurance risks which are suitable to their respective underwriting guidelines. These insurers may in turn recognize the success of this process, through contingent commissions, or “profit sharing”, at year end. This profit sharing does not attach to any individual policy and is paid to us only if our overall portfolio produces a profitable result to the insurer. For more information, please go to the individual insurance company’s website.
Should there be any increase in the commissions we receive for your insurance policies, or any other material change in how we are compensated, we will notify you directly.
As your insurance broker, we act on your behalf and put your interests first. We welcome your comments or questions and are pleased to discuss any concerns you may have.
