The Senior Broker Quadrant Sample
What the data shows
5 FINDINGS- M.G.A. Insurance Brokers is the only network in the top-right quadrant. 42% of their ARs and CARs carry 10+ years of GI industry tenure, AND they've grown that group by a net +4 over the last 12 months. Deep senior bench paired with active senior recruitment — the combination is rare.
- United Insurance Group leads on depth at 45%. Nearly half of their 118 AR/CAR brokers carry 10+ years of GI experience. They're flat on flow (−2 net) — holding what they've built rather than chasing more.
- Four networks cross the 30% senior-bench threshold: UIG (45%), MGA (42%), Ausure (37%), BAC Insurance Brokers (33%). Every other network with 30+ ARs/CARs sits below the line. Three of the four are quiet operators that don't dominate the headlines.
- Community Broker Network — Australia's largest GI network at 1,127 ARs — sits among the shallowest at 23% senior depth. In nominal terms that's still 263 senior brokers, the largest senior cohort in the country. But the ratio reflects the nature of being large and growing fast: junior intake dilutes the bench faster than tenure accrues.
- Aviso Group Partners' +63 is one corporate event, not 63 individual decisions. The plot sums them but the underlying story is a single transfer from Resilium. Strip that out and the underlying senior-flow market looks much quieter — a handful of 2-to-5 net swings between mid-tier networks.
Four ways a network can look
QUADRANTS- Built for the long term (top-right): 30%+ of brokers are 10+ yr seniors, AND the senior cohort is growing. Only M.G.A. clears both bars. The combination is hard to fake — a deep bench plus active senior recruitment compounds the institutional knowledge advantage.
- Recruiting fresh (top-left): Senior cohort is growing, but bench is still shallow. Aviso Group Partners sits here at +63, McLardy McShane (+5) and Metrix Connect (+5) at more typical rates. Networks doing the work to build a senior bench they don't yet have.
- Losing their bench (bottom-right): Deep senior bench but bleeding seniors faster than they can replace. Ausure (37% depth, −40 net) and BAC Insurance Brokers (33% depth, −1 net) are the live examples. Resilium sits in the extreme corner at −89, but its bench depth has already collapsed mid-window — the senior brokers it had a year ago have largely walked.
- Quiet decline (bottom-left): Shallow bench AND losing seniors. PSC Connect, Community Broker Network, Insurance Advisernet, Oracle Group all sit here at small-to-moderate net negatives. Not catastrophic month to month, but a slow erosion of senior experience that compounds across years.
Source: ASIC Financial Advisers Register, snapshot May 2026. Population is ARs + CARs at GI-primary AFSLs with 30+ current ARs (22 networks pass; 9 shallow + quiet networks omitted from the chart for clarity). Industry tenure is computed across all rep records for a person (name + ABN), at event date — a senior broker counts as 10+ yr regardless of how many AFSLs they've held during that decade. "Senior bench" is the share of current ARs/CARs at the window-end snapshot with 10+ yr tenure. "Net senior change" is 12-month senior joiners minus 12-month senior leavers; term changes (re-appointments within the same AFSL) are excluded. Bulk transfers register as N individual events — the chart sums them but doesn't flag them. Aviso Group Partners' +63 is one corporate event, and there's some classification lag in the underlying departure data (recent moves count as actual departures until the new AFSL is registered).
