Foresters the new (old) Trans

Just saw this. Yikes! A 20% increase in rates would move them into useless territory unless they open up a niche or two. With same underwriting they may as well just close down the product.

MoO isn't going up by 20%. The rate increase is very moderate to say the least. They will still be on the low end relative to other carriers.
 
Yeah and what I heard is 10% rates increase on Level, lower rates for graded, 5% decrease in comp and 20 year ROP is going away from TLE.

I don't know about an UW changes, but it's all got to happen by Dec 7th right?
 
The fact that they pay far higher compensation other three baby companies?

If they really lower by 5% it will put them about the same. Family Benefit/Trinity has sweet underwriting advantages and pays new agents 110% plus a 5% lead credit. So effectively 115%. So probably the same for most agents or a 5% difference.
 
I try to strike the balance between the agency view and the agent view. Yes you can have an almost equal compensation level on Family benefit compared to other carriers but there's little to no room for downward hierarchy levels before you start shorting your agents.
