Bank-Insurance Viability Index
January 2012
For the twelve month period ending September 30, 2011, despite slight growth from acquisition and increased contingent income, issues relating to staffing efficiency lead to weaker profits for bank insurance agencies, according to the latest Bank-Insurance Viability Index, a quarterly report compiled by MarshBerry and sponsored by ABA. An analysis of bank-owned agencies showed that profits fell an average 2.8%, even though contingent income grew 7.4%.
The report found that profits were not helped by organic growth. While producer payroll was flat and support payroll was down 1%, service payroll increased 2% for the year. The report also noted that fewer than 15% of bank-owned agencies completed an acquisition during the year, which means increased payroll is coming from salaries of existing staff. This suggests that agencies must improve staffing efficiencies to retain profits.
The Bank-Insurance Viability Index provides benchmarking statistics to help bank-insurance platforms realize equity enhancing change. The quarterly report dissects the financial and operational performance of banks, independent agents and brokers, and high performers, focusing on the retail brokerage platform.

The number of fraud cases also decreased between 2008 and 2010. However, industry losses from debit card fraud—POS signature, POS PIN, and ATM transactions combined—reached an estimated $955 million in 2010, an increase from $788 million in 2008.
Bank Annuities Income Hits Record High
October 2011
Income earned from the sale of annuities at bank holding companies (BHCs) in the first half of 2011 hit a record $1.53 billion, a 25.0% increase compared to the first half 2010. Second-quarter 2011 annuity commissions also reached record heights of $781.4 million, increasing 21.9% from the previous year and 4.4% from the previous quarter, according to the Michael White-ABIA Bank Annuity Fee Income Report,
Three-fourths of BHCs with assets over $10 billion earned first-half annuity commissions of $1.46 billion, 95.2% of total annuity commissions reported by the banking industry. Among this asset class of BHCs in the first half, annuity commissions made up 11.6% of their total mutual fund and annuity income and 16.3% of their total insurance sales volume.
Among the top 50 BHCs nationally in annuity concentration (i.e., annuity fee income as a percent of noninterest income), the median Annuity Concentration Ratio was 7.6% in the first half 2011.
