The fastest growing segments of these large agencies were employee benefits and bonds, which grew organically
by 15.4% and 15.2%, respectively. This group had strong organic growth (10.6%) despite the soft market. This
was due to strong retention of 92.9% across all lines (which is outstanding in light of soft P&C pricing) and strong
new business production equal to 17.0% of their overall commissions and fees. Top agencies find a way to
generate new business equal to 15%-20% of their commissions and fees each year.
