We, Insight Insurance Brokers Limited act as Broker between you, the consumer, and the product provider with whom we place your business.
The background
Pursuant to provision 4.58A of the Central Bank of Ireland’s September 2019 Addendum to the Consumer Protection Code, all Brokers, must make available in their public offices, or on their website if they have one, a summary of the details of all arrangements for any fee, commission, other reward or remuneration provided to the Broker which it has agreed with its product producers.
What is commission?
For the purpose of this document, commission is the payment earned by the Broker for work undertaken on behalf of both the provider and the consumer. The amount of commission is generally directly related to the quantity or value of the products sold.
There are different types of commission models:
| Single commission model: | where payment is made to the Broker shortly after the sale is completed and is based on a percentage of the premium paid/amount invested/amount borrowed. |
| Indemnity commission | Indemnity commission is the term used to describe a commission payment made before the commission is deemed to be ‘earned’. Indemnity commission may be subject to a clawback (see below) if the consumer lapses or cancels the product before the commission is deemed to be earned. |
Other forms of indemnity commission are advances of commission for future sales granted to Brokers in order to assist with set up costs or business development.
General insurance products
General insurance products, such as motor, home, travel, health, retail or liability insurance, are typically subject to a single or standard commission model, based on the amount of premium charged for the insurance product.
Profit Share arrangements
In some cases, the Broker may be a party to a profit-share arrangement with a product provider and will earn additional commission. Any business arranged with these product providers on a client’s behalf will be placed with the product provider because that product provider is at the time of placement, the most suitable to meet the client’s requirements, taking all the client’s relevant information, demands and needs into account.
Investments
Investment firms, which fall within the scope of the S.I. 375 of European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017 (the MiFID Regulations), offer both standard commission and commission models involving initial and recurring commission. Increments may be based on a percentage of the investment management fees, or on the value of the fund.
Clawback
Clawback is an obligation on the Broker to repay unearned commission. Commission can be paid directly after a contract is concluded but is not deemed to be ‘earned’ until after a specified period of time. If the consumer cancels or withdraws from the financial product within the specified time, the Broker must return commission to the product producer.
Fees
The firm may also be remunerated by fee by the product producer such as policy fee, admin fee, or in the case of investment firms, advisory fees. Include arrangements etc
Please Note
The enclosed commission guidance section gives indicative values across every product provider and every product advised whereby a commission or fee is received within our business. This is the maximum our Brokerage will take and is subject to change, in certain cases our Brokerage may take a different remuneration than the enclosed percentages/amounts. This will be disclosed to each client as per the Central Bank Consumer Protection Code regulations, on a client by client basis.
Other Fees, Administrative Costs/ Non-Monetary Benefits
The firm may also be in receipt of non-monetary benefits such as:
- Attendance at product provider seminars
- Assistance with Advertising/Branding
Further detail on the providers we work with, the products we sell and the maximum commissions available to us are outlined below.

McDonald, Dwyer, Reddy – Shield
Shield arranges numerous types of insurance products over many individual classes of business for their customers. This business is transacted in Lloyd’s of London with many of its syndicates and with various international insurance companies. As a result, commissions will differ between products and risks and are advised to Insight Insurance prior to inception or renewal of a policy and then specified clearly as your commission on subsequent account statements issued to Insight Insurance.
As a general rule however, we are able to advise that on average the commission Insight Insurance will receive from us will range from between 0% and 15% of the Insurer’s premium but this will be dependent on each risk, the class of business and the insurance provider.
We are aware of the importance to trade in the best interests of our clients and to ensure we do not risk impairing our obligation to satisfy regulatory requirements to avoid a potential conflict of interest arising between us, as well as between you and your clients. Accordingly, we confirm that the commission we offer Insight Insurance is not linked to income volume targets or business retention levels. Furthermore, we can also advise that we do not pay additional remuneration such as fees or other form of remuneration.
We trust this disclosure has satisfied the requirement to publish information for consumers.
